Have you ever loged on to Citrix and just when  your about to start one of the published applications you get this fancy “latin” error message?

Citrix Receiver Configuration Manager: No value could be found for (AllowHotkey) that satisfies all lockdown requirements  The lockdown requirements in force may be conflicting.

It’s not that hard so solveCitrix Logo

Earlier you had to delete a whole bunch of registry keys from the computer.
But we feel that this way is so much better!

So, what you do is to click on “start”. If you have Windows 8, just go into the Metro.
Just start typing regedit and click enter.
if your not familliar with this, it’s not something you should play with on your own unless you have a guide, or really know what you’re doing.

Go to the top and navigate to this location:

  1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  2. Software
  3. Citrix
  4. ICA Client
  5. Engine
  6. Lockdown Profiles
  7. All Regions

Here you will find a registry key called: EnableLockdown
Double click this key, and you will see that the value is set to “1″.

Simply change this to “0″ and click “OK”.

Now close your web browser, and reopen it.
You should now be free of anoying AllowHotKey errors.

How to prevent windows update from restarting automatically

Have you ever experienced leaving the computer at the end of the day thinking “i’ll finish this tomorrow”, and realize the next day that everything you worked on is gone and the computer has rebooted? Well, this is usually caused by windows  Windows update update and it’s annoying! Want to fix it? We tell you how to end it.

Windows is actually not that stupid. As we have experienced, it seems that over the time MS windows learns when you are at the computer and when your not. This way it can start doing stuff that takes alot of resources when your not using it. This is actually a really a neat feature. We are not sure if this is avalible in “Vista” and XP, but it seems to be doing this in 7 and 8. (We might be wrong about the feature as we haven’t confirmed this).
Unfortunately this also goes for the updates that is released by MS.
Updates are important and solves alot of stuff. Either in the back of the system or visually for you. So we do not recommend that you disable the windows update.

So how do we solve this?

There are 3 ways to solve this.

Option 1:Windows Reg file

This is probably the easiest way is to download a computer registry file. Save it to the desktop and double click on it to make the change in windows update. This will change the behavior on the windows updater and stop the rebooting. (To activate the change  you need to reboot the machine yourself to allow the change to be loaded).

Click here to Download

We know that there are many sites out there that tells you to NOT click on unknown registry files (*.reg) that you find on the net. And we understand this.

Option 2:

That’s why we provide you with an option number 2. Instead of using the automatically registry file you can enter the registry yourself and make the change. This way you can be sure of what is being written to the system’s registry.
Click on start button (or enter the metro view if you have W8). Start typing “regedit” and hit enter. Navigate to this location;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows

Edit registry yourself

Here you need to create a Key (right click -> new key) and name it “WindowsUpdate” and a new key in here as well and call it “AU” (No, it has nothing to do with Australia). Now in this AU key, you need to create a “32-bit DWORD“. Name it “NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers”, and double click on it. Change the value “0” to “1” (Tip: 0 means Disable, and 1 means Enable).
Now reboot.

Option 3:

The last and third option is a more visual way to do it.
Instead of typing in regedit as you did in option 2, simply type in “gpedit.msc“. This will open the Local Group Policy editor. Here you need to navigate to;

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update

Find the entry “No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled Automatic Update installation“, and double click on it. Normally it will be set to “Not Configured” meaning windows makes all the decisions. Set to “Enabled” and click “Apply“.

 

All your update reboot problems should now be gone.

Netcom messes up in commercial!

One of Norway’s largest phone companies messes up big time in their new TV commercial…

The commercial starts off by showing the male main character taking a picture of him self with a Samsung Galaxy S2 in a mirror then the commentator says this is him getting the first text from the female main character and they show his screen with the message conversation and it’s clearly an iPhone… Someone must not know the difference between Android and iOS even tho they sell both….

The hidden back and forward step button on your keyboard

Many people have a back and forward button on their keyboard or mouse that they use in web browsers and file explorer windows.
If you are one of them people missing this, here’s a tip for you!

You might have noticed (and many people already use this) that the backspace button on the keyboard works like a back button, but what about a forward button?

Well, if you did not know this here’s what you do;

Simply hold down the “Alt” button, and click either left or right arrow on your keyboard.

Left arrow will send you back a step, and right arrow will send you forward a step.
This will work in any browser and explorer that you use.

It even works on Linux systems if this is what turns you on.

We have not been able to test this on apple as we do not have this kind of product, but if you can confirm this please feel free to leave a tip.

How to solve Operation Failed in outlook

Ever got the message “Operation Failed” when you hit the send button i outlook?operation failed
Many have, and many have given up and reinstalled outlook or even better, the whole Office package.
Yes, this looks to solve the problem in most cases, but then again wou will lose all your email.

As this error is far from informative, and there are a lot of things that could cause this one to appear.
We have seen this error occur a lot, and the best solution that has solved this issue in most of our cases, is simply to see if Exchange Cache is enabled. If it is, clear it and restart outlook.

There are many different solutions out there, but this one has given us the highest solved rate.

How you do this is simply by going onto “Account settings” and doubble click on your exchange account.
Here you will see an option called “Cached Exchange mode”. If there is a tic here, remove it and click “apply”.

Hope this solves your problem as well….
