Microsoft on Monday released an emergency patch against the Windows shortcut link (.LNK), aka Windows Shell, vulnerability.  With the out-of-band release, Microsoft also disclosed Office documents at risk from the "no user input required" shortcut icon attack.

All "supported" editions of Windows got a patch, "including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2," according to Christopher Budd, senior security response communications manager at Microsoft. He recommends companies deploy the update "as soon as possible, to help protect their computers from criminal attacks seeking to exploit the .LNK vulnerability."

All indications suggest that Windows 7 will be a major success with business customers of all sizes as well as with consumers. Windows 7 has the ability to drive productivity and user satisfaction on its own strengths and features, but the product also benefits indirectly from the aging installed base of Windows PCs, which today continues to be dominated by Windows XP, making Windows XP emulation an especially useful capability, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that have delayed upgrading to Windows Vista.

Here’s a super easy way to copy or backup your signatures in Outlook. I'm not sure why Microsoft did such a great job of building this feature and then hiding it.

Turns out Microsoft has built in a hidden way to jump straight to the folder where your signatures are saved.

This works in all versions of Outlook from Outlook 2000 all the way to Outlook 2010.
