There are so many mandatory fun things to look forward in this month-long celebration of NTC’s commitment to information security. Here’s a sneak preview list of what’s coming down the pike…

  • Stretch your creativity, as you create a new, more secure password for logging in to Windows!
  • New Password Manager:  having to remember passwords on the web will be a thing of the past!
  • Learn special “Secret Agent” skills for encrypting and decrypting sensitive information!
  • New “cloud” Antivirus to keep the bad guys at bay!
  • Learn the simple tricks the pros use to keep their computers and information secure!
  • And more!

So go to the store, buy a hat, and hang on to it, because NTC Security Month is just getting started!

A message from the Six Million Dollar Man action figure

Hi Everyone,

It takes about a minute to archive your old emails, and archiving can make Outlook run better and faster, like I did in the 70’s.
Christmas, 1977: I lifted steel girders like they were made of red plastic.

Archiving is fairly painless, and like I said, it can make Outlook run better for you. Also: you can search your archive, and restore old emails, so even if you’re a pack rat (I’m looking at you, Bill), you can archive without losing anything. Do it today! Here’s how:
In Outlook:
  1. Click the File tab
  2. Click Cleanup tools
  3. Click Archive
  4. Choose the highest-level folder (for instance, for Bill it would be “bturner@nationaltheatre.com“)
  5. Choose an “archive items older than” date
  6. [Choose an archive file] <- usually Outlook will choose this for you
  7. Click OK
 
Once you click “OK,” you can click on the Home tab. If you look at the bottom of the Outlook window, you may see Outlook doing its archiving work. This may take anywhere from several minutes, to a few hours, depending on how much is being archived.
 
That’s it! If I haven’t mentioned this before: please do this, then let Bill know you’ve done it.
 
Thanks! If you have any questions, let Bill know. If you’d like help with this, or would like Bill to do it for you, go to NTCHelp.net and put in a ticket.
Sincerely,
Former Astronaut, Cyborg and Action Figure Steve Austin
 
p.s. While you’re cleaning things up, go ahead and empty your deleted items folder. Thanks 🙂
