Can't cleanly install / uninstall Fujitsu ScanSnap Home!

Tried traditional Windows install / uninstall, registry cleaners, 3rd party tools, etc. Here is an official uninstaller / clean up tool from OEM which has worked perfectly for me:

Changing locked Safari Home Page on El Capitan and higher OSX when everything else fails!

Open Terminal via Utilities folder on your Mac and enter following command:

sudo dscl . mcxset /Users/USERNAME com.apple.Safari HomePage always -string "ADDRESS"

Substitute USERNANE with your actual home user directory name and ADDRESS with URL of website you want to set as your home page... Type your user account password to execute.  

Reboot your Mac!

Can't open Microsoft Word or Excel attachements in Outlook 2016 - the file is corrupt!

Via Options open Trust CenterProtected View and deselect all three Protected View options... This needs to be done under each Microsoft Office 2016 app (Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.) to make sure no Microsoft Office attachments will get blocked by default.


If you do not trust every Microsoft Office attachment you receive via email and would like to leave your Protected View active, save each attachment individually under desktop or any other folder, select and right-click on it, click Properties, and Unblock it under General tab.


 You can now bypass new security feature of Microsoft Office 2016 which prevents legitimate users from being productive and allows malicious threats to come in with virtually no resistance... Enjoy!
