On of the most interesting sections of Google Analytics is in the Visitors section and it is called User Defined.  This is an area that allows you to create some customized “tags” or “labels” for any of your visitors.

I could go on and explain all the nitty-gritty details, but guys over at Google Analytics have already posted a very detailed explanation on how to implement this capability and shows how it can provide additional value to the tremendous value that GA already provides.

To review all the User Defined details you just use the links already created in this post.

One of the most useful features of the LogMeIn offering is the ability to setup a secondary user to allow access to one or more computers in your account.  It is pretty easy to setup this feature.

By creating Secondary Users in your LogMeIn account, you can allow remote access to one or more of your computers.   Secondary Users have access only to the computers that you authorize, and you can disable their access at any time.  Secondary Users can not see any details of your LogMeIn account.

To create a Secondary User, follow these steps:

1. Log in to LogMeIn.com using your registered email and password.
2. On the My Computers page, click the Users link on the left side of the screen.  If you do not see the Users link you probably have to change your view to be “Advanced View”.
3. Click the Secondary Users link at the top of the screen
4. Click Add New Secondary User.
5. Enter the email address for the Secondary User that you are adding to you account.
6. If you don’t specifically change the permissions, the secondary user will have access to all computers in your account.  However, you can select specific computers using the Specify Computers option
7. Once done, click Send Invitation.

Note: Secondary Users are required to define their own password when accepting the invitation, and can change it at any time.   The Secondary User will need to know the Windows Username and Password for the computer’s they have received access to.  If the computers are on a domain they can probably login with their own domain logins.

<ItemTemplate>
  <asp:DropDownList
        ID="ddlMaker"
        runat="server"
        DataSourceID="odsMakers"
        DataTextField="makerName"
        SelectedValue="<%#Bind("MakerID") %>"
        DataValueField="makerID">
  </asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

When I compiled I received an error “The server tag is not well formed.”

After a bit of trial and error I realized it was because there were quotes nested within quotes. To make this work all that had to be done was to change the outside double quotes on the SelectedValue parameter to be single quotes as shown below.

<ItemTemplate>
  <asp:DropDownList
        ID="ddlMaker"
        runat="server"
        DataSourceID="odsMakers"
        DataTextField="makerName"
        SelectedValue='<%#Bind("MakerID") %>'
        DataValueField="makerID">
  </asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

Hope I saved someone a bunch of wasted time.

Turns out that it is super simple to remove that email address.  Just compose and email and start typing the address.  When you see it appear, just use the arrows to select the one that is incorrect and press the Delete key.  It will be gone forever.  Quick and easy.

If you want to clear the entire email history, you can do the following:

• Exit Outlook
• Run Windows Explorer
• Navigate to the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder (substitute username with your username)
• Find the file with the NK2 extension and rename or delete it.

If you have two (or more) monitors that are the same height, you could issue the following command:

mstsc /span

When the Remote Desktop application starts up it will ask you what Computer you want to connect to.  Just enter the name or IP address of the computer and you will be connected in full screen mode across your two (or more) monitors.

Some notes from the Microsoft Help about what the /span option does and its limitations:

Matches the remote desktop width and height with the local virtual desktop, spanning across multiple monitors if necessary. To span across monitors, the monitors must all have the same height and be aligned side by side.

In order to save the /span option into the .rdp file you will need to manually edit it:

• Open Windows Explorer, and browse to the folder containing the .rdp file you want to edit.
• Right-click the file > Open With > Choose Program > Notepad (or any other text editing program you have installed on your computer)
• Once the file is open in Notepad go to the bottom of the file and add the following command: span monitors:i:1
• Save the file.

Now your rdp file will automatically span monitors when executed.
