Windows Client Server Registry Hacks

A WinXP running Outlook 2003 kept throwing up an extension registry corruption message when launching Outlook

Java runtime environment

Remotely Turn on RDP
Open regedit connect to the machine you want to RDP onto
Expand the following key;
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Under the Terminal Server key, you'll find a REG_DWORD value named fDenyTSConnection. Double-click on that value to open the Edit DWORD Value box and change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled)
The remote machine needs to be rebooted for the change to take effect, so open a command prompt and type the following command:

shutdown -m \\machinename -r
