Securely “Wiping” Hard Drives

Being a tech person I know that just deleting a file from within Windows or Linux doesn’t assure that the data isn’t recoverable.

Turn Off IE Enhanced Security Configuration

The Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) that is turned on by default on Windows Server drives me crazy. Being unable to download files, and constantly being prompted to add URLs to be viewed, is super-annoying.
