Got an annoying issue today. Whenever I opened a new tab in Internet Explorer (IE8), a new instance of the 'Developer tools' would open automatically. Normally, when you close them, they shouldn't reopen again until you explicitly want to.
The result was after opening 6 or 7 tabs, there would also be 6 or 7 instances of the developer tools.
I tried turning the off and closing IE, even rebooting, but they would keep 'popping' up.
Eventually, I managed to get rid of them by doing the following
1. Open the registry editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IEDevTools
3. Set the value of the key 'Pinned' to '1' (REG_DWORD)
4. Open IE - this loaded the developer tools to, but they were pinned (embedded) in the browser window
5. close the developer tools while embedded
This FINALLY prevented the developer tools from being loaded with every tab I openened.
meh :/

Forcing your Windows Phone 7 to update
Microsoft recently release the 'March 2011' (aka NoDo) phone update. Unfortunately, not all phones are updated at the same time. An update schedule has been posted here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-world.aspx
If your phone is listed under 'Delivering update', you can 'trick' the Zune software & your phone to get the update anyways.
1. Start Zune on Your PC
2. Turn off Data connection ( Setting >System > Mobile Network > Data Connection ) and Wifi ( Setting >System > WiFi ) on the Phone
3. Connect the Phone with the PC (via USB)
4. Start the update search in Zune ( Settings > Phone > Update )
5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off)
6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK
7. Connect to the internet again on your PC and install the update
Worked like a charm for my phone (HTC Throphy)

"Unable to connect to SQL Server Instance" when installing SCVMM 2007 R2
When you try to install System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 R2 and configure it with an existing SQL Server installation, you must have named pipes enabled on the SQL Server. If named pipes are not enabled, you will receive the following error:
setup cannot connect to the specified sql server instance
Also, when using a SQL Server 2008 installation, you must install the SQL Server 2008 Native Client and SQL Server 2008 Command Line Utilities on the SCVMM Server. Both can be installed from the SQL Server CD or downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C6C3E9EF-BA29-4A43-8D69-A2BED18FE73C&displaylang=en
