Application Tidbits
- Microsoft Outlook
- By default (it seems) Outlook doesn't mark a message read
until you move onto the next message. To fix this, go to: Tools
-> Options -> Other -> Preview Pane and select Mark
messages as read in preview window and select a wait time of
0 seconds. This will tell Outlook to mark the message as
read as soon as you click on it.
- Windows Explorer
- By default in Windows XP, when you're using the folder view, clicking
on a directory in the left-hand pane will automatically open the
contents. To turn this off, open a Windows Explorer window and
de-select: Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Advanced
Settings -> Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list.
- grep
- When using grep, the flag "-il" will show only files which match. The
flag "-rq" will show only files which are different.
- find
- List all files matching a keyword: find . -exec grep -i vast {} \;
- solaris (unix) 64-bit
- bits (32 or 64 or ?): /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
- loaded 64-bit modules: /usr/bin/pkginfo | grep "64-bit"
