• Disable Windows Restore (will delete restore points)
• Disable page file
• Disable hibernation (will delete hibernat.sys).
• Perform disk clean up (will empty recycle bin, etc)

  better delete, then restart outlook once so that the .OST are recreated once for all (but quit before send & receive starts)

  This works even if policy deleted (winlogon was running though), network interface set to NAT, and with most service disabled (require smshost + ccmexec).

To Do

Issues

• Issue — virtualbox shared folder \\vboxsrv\d is not visible from Administrator account. Very annoying when copying files to system32 for instance (because source won't be visible anymore).
  Temp. workaround, launch cmd as administrator:

net use D: \\vboxsrv\d

• To Do
  • Setup nokia - outlook sync via bluetooth
  • import old nxp signatures
  • move .ost to d: drive (or find a solution that outlook always complaining .ost is old)
  • sent mail macro + File --> Options Trust Center --> Macro Settings --> Enable all macros
  • find a f*cking rss reader that can save into IMAP (check rss2email or feed2imap)
• Doing
  • regedit, set DisableManaualArchive to 0 (trying to archive calendar manually) -- useless
  • exported calendar to separate .ST
