No Automatic Signature on Custom Forms & Templates

Thank you to Diane Poremsky for providing this solution found at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/email/signatures-on-custom-forms-templates/

Diane provides solutions for all versions of Windows Outlook. I implemented the Outlook 2013 version. 

Outlook 2013

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
DWORD: NoAutosigOnCustomForms
Data Value: 1 = no signature; 0 = uses signature (the default)

That's right, we have to add a registry key. Worked as expected, once I put it in the correct directory. I navigated to the Options folder, but incorrectly selected a directory below. It has to be in the Options level folder. Heller.

1. Open the registry editor by typing regedit into the Start menu’s Search field or by press Windows key + R on your keyboard
2. Browse to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options key in the registry
3. Right click on the Options folder and choose New > DWORD (32-Bit) Value
4. Type or paste NoAutosigOnCustomForms as the name
5. Right click on NoAutosigOnCustomForms and select Modify...
6. Enter a value of 1 if you don’t want the autosignature added.

You’ll need to restart Outlook for the change to take effect.

Running out of diskspace? Identifying Large Folders Using Treesize

Fun day at work, wondering why my Windows 7 machine is running so slow, stalling, spinning cursor, all that cheese.

After doing some preliminary checking, it occured to me to check the diskspace. Hello. I needed to find out why I was down to 10 GB on a 140GB drive.

Searched for what people are using nowadays and ended up using this free utility program call Treesize. They, Jam Software, have other versions. But for what I needed the free version was perfect.

I highly recommend this program.

It was surprising to learn that my Dropbox folder was the main culprit. I need to go through and be a bit more selective on what directories I will be syncing on my work computer.
Well, I better get to it. Aloha!
