Cisco AnyConnect - Untrusted VPN Server Blocked

If you are recieving the below error, you're using the (default) self-signed certificate. The below instructions will solve you problem.



From the Warning Screen (Red 'Untrusted' Window) select "Change Settings...". Here you should untick the "Block connections to untrusted servers" option. After completing this task and attempting to reconnect, you should receive a white "Untrusted VPN" window. On this one, tick the "Always trust this VPN server". This should fix your problem.

Deleting Google Blogger Blog


If you're looking to delete a Blogger blog from Google, start with the blog in question's settings page.

Then, go to Settings/Other.



Then click "Delete



You'll be confronted by a "Are You Sure?" window.


After you do this, you have about 30 days before it's gone forever. I'd recommend donwloading the blog into text format before you do anything.

Disappearing Shortcuts from Desktop - Windows 7

If you have more than four network shortcuts located on your desktop, you may notice that they disappear without any warning. This is because shortcuts that are not always available are considered "broken links".

Broken links are removed from the Windows 7 desktop when the System Maintenance troubleshooter encounters five or more of them on the desktop.

The Number One workaround for this issue is remove all but 4 of these shortcuts from your desktop.

The second workaround, though not recommended, is to disable the System Maintenance troubleshooter. This will stop it from removing desktop shortcuts. Disabling this also stops System Maintenance from cleaning up volume errors, error reports, and auto-correcting time (which isn't good, especially in an enterprise setting), so think twice before utilizing this option.
