IE launching outside the bubble on Citrix


https://trentent.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/internet-explorer-popping-up-outside.html

This post revealed the cause of a scenario where an application was attempting to launch a html file in Internet Explorer (IE) but failing.  IE launched its normal home page instead.  On Windows 7 IE launched inside the bubble with the html file correctly displayed.

We determined that on citrix the browser was indeed launching outside the bubble and therefore unable to see the required html file.

Changing the user classes registry key in the bubble did not work.  Setting the user classes registry key for that users session did work though.  This avoids changing the key for the entire machine which may impact the way the citrix server is designed to work.

Use caution. This change impacts the way that citrix is designed to launch IE, it could have wider unforeseen consequences.

Outlook Navigation View - Folders Contacts


In the navigation bar on the left hand side of outlook, there are buttons at the bottom, Mail Calendar etc

If you have psts open which contain folders, the folder are only visible to browse from the Folders List view.

If the user click the mail view, mail looks pretty much the same but the psts look empty !  This can cause mild panic.

Do not panic, simply switch back to folder view mode, a lower down option on the Navigation Bar.
