Using Delphi to develop for Vista
Not normally something I post about these days, but Delphi is something I used to use a lot… what’s more, Developer Express as a company is obviously still very much involved in the Delphi market. So I found this article very interesting, which details a lot of the things you’ll want to know when targeting Vista from your (non-.NET) Delphi applications. Written by Nathanial Woolls, I should add – very good work!
Making Outlook open "bad" attachments
I forget about this every time and have to search the net again for the info: since Outlook 2000 there have been certain file types that can’t be opened or saved by default when they arrive attached to an email. If such attachments are encountered, Outlook shows the following message: “Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments”.
Everything you need to know to change this is on this Microsoft KB page, and it even works with Outlook 2007.
