Find out which websites are currently tracking you



Privacyfix.com has just released a wonderful browser extension to Firefox and Chrome which lets you see what websites are tracking you.
It also enables you to see how much information you hand out to the world through Facebook and Google+.

I recommend everyone to install this plugin and take a look, you'll be surprised. Time to disable some apps!

When I first tried it, Facebook had access to way more than I thought. Thanks to 
Privacyfix I fixed that in a minute.

Can't move file - Error 0x800401E5: No object for moniker



For some time ago we changed every user's desktop folder from C:\Users\<name>\Desktop to X:\Desktop (where X: is the user's home folder on our fileserver) by a GPO rule.
This led to some complications for a few users like the local registry not updating somehow, don't really know why it didn't work, but anyway, here's a fix.

Open regedit and navigate to the following two locations:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Change the "Desktop" value to correct folder. Remember to do it in both locations, "Shell Folders" and "User Shell Folders".
