I need to determined whether a user used office in the last 3 months.
Where can i find a log or something that can give me that information in windows 7.
Thanks!
You can see the last used date of the execuatable file.
It should be in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/ folder. Find the .exe file for the office program you want to check. eg: word, excel, powerpoint.
Right Click and select properties. Under the general tab you will see accessed with a date and time.
You can also do this on the desktop and start menu shortcuts.

Can someone please tell me where the program icons for Microsoft Outlook 2013 are stored? I am referring to the icons used in the actual application, such as those shown below.
I know these icons are stored in DLLs or EXEs somewhere and I know how to extract the icons. I just need to find the source file(s). I've used a program that searches all folders and subfolders within a given directory and displays all of the icons that is finds inside of any file. I have run it on Program Files\Microsoft Office, Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office, and a few other folders. Although I do see a few of the Outlook icons in the results, those I show above in particular are nowhere to be found.
UPDATE:
To clarify, it's not just those 8 or so specific icons that I am looking for. I can't find ANY of the icons that are actually used in Outlook 2013. I find several older Outlook icons, maybe 2010 or so versions, but none of the 2013 ones. So, for example, I can't find these either:
Basicaly, ANY of the icons in Outlook 2013.
Please help!
There is no information where and how Outlook icons are stored. They can be stored as a binary data that's deserialized at runtime. Note, you can take a screenshot and then crop the required image there.
You may find the Office 2010 Add-In: Icons Gallery add-in helpful.
The process for extracting the files for Office 2003 is nearly identical to Office 2007, have at look at this question:

Drag shortcut to your task bar
Icon will be back
I recently upgraded from windows 8.1 to 8.1 pro.(which i done because, 8.1 couldn't run the emulator for VS 2013 as it could not access the Hyper V) But since I've done that, all of my saved projects are now of type .suo, and when I try to open them on VS 2013 I get binary code. If I open VS and create a new project it works fine. Any help regarding how I can change it back, would be Great
Those are Solution User Options files. Your sln file should still be there and still be open-able.
The solution user options (.suo) file contains per-user solution
options. This file should not be checked in to source code control.
The .suo file is a structured storage, or compound, file stored in a
binary format. You save user information into streams with the name of
the stream being the key that will be used to identify the information
in the .suo file. The solution user options file is used to store user
preference settings, and is created automatically when Visual Studio
saves a solution.
The previous answer is correct. Just to help you, in Windows Explorer in Windows 7, go to Windows Explorer, menu Tools, Folder Options, select the Tab View and in Advanced Options uncheck the option that hides the extensions for known file types.
I don't have Windows 8/8.1 but as I remember you have a "View" menu and on the right side a button called Options. There you have almost the same options you have in Win7.
Next go to the folder where you found the ".suo" file and you should have a ".sln" file.
Outlook's "Windows TXT previewer" only previews attachments with extension .txt.
Is there a way to tell Outlook (2010) to use "Windows TXT previewer" on other type attachments?
For example, I would like to use it to preview .csv files and some other extensions that are just text.
Here is a registry change:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.CSV\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.CSV\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}]
#="{1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22}"
Here {1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22} is GUID for text previewer (listed among HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers) and {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} is special ID that identifies previewer for this filetype. It may be different for other verisons of windows, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144143(v=vs.85).aspx may or may not have more details
In order to achieve your goal, you have to change some entries in the Registry. Preview HAndlers have GUIDs that are stored in the Registry. For each filetype, if there is one available, there is a preview handler.
For .csv files you need the Preview Handler from Microsoft Excel since a .csv file is Excel.
Another method: install Preview Handlers.
Download PreviewHandlers2007_01 and run it.
A folder called PreviewHandlers will be created
Don't worry because of that file name. That file containing "2007" worked very good for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
Go to PreviewHandlers\Installer and run Install
Probably it won't work because of Microsoft Visual J# is missing.
Download Microsoft Visual J# Version 2.0 Redistributable Package and install it (probably it appears as vjredist in your download folder)
Run the Install file again.
Restart Outlook
You will be able to see the content of that CSV attachment as a table.
If your goal is just to preview files like .csv, .log etc. within Outlook message panel, it is directly related with default program in Windows (operating system).
So, in Windows Explorer add default program:
- open the folder containing .csv file
- right click on the file and choios in the menu "Open With..."
- Choose Default Program
- Select desired programe (Notepad++, Excel, etc.)
- Restart Outlook
I've seen some SVN tools that use a "diff" command that will highlight the differences between two files. However, I don't understand how to do this within Visual Web developer 2010 (Express). Any help discovering this method will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
PS: I include visual-studio-2010 in the tags as I think it is the closest thing to web developer 2010.
I am not sure if VWD has its own file compare function, but you could use WinDiff from the Windows SDK. Here is the link for version 7.1 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
Taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385990.aspx
To compare two files
On the View menu, click Other Windows, and then click Source Control Explorer.
In Source Control Explorer, right-click the version of the file that you want to
compare, and then click Compare.
NoteNote
As an option, you can right-click a file in Solution Explorer and then click Compare.
The Compare dialog box appears and the local path of the file that you selected is
in the Source Path box.
Enter the Target Path or click Browse and locate the target folder.
Under Target Version, select the Type you want to use for comparison: Changeset,
Date, Label, Latest Version, or Workspace Version.
Click OK.
If the files have no differences, the Microsoft Visual Studio dialog box appears,
informing you that the files are identical. Click OK.
Otherwise, a difference window displays the files side by side.
I use devart's code compare tool and it worked really good for me. You can download it from here.

how to search for files checked out by other users in vs 2008 Team Explorer. I can search for all the files checked out in a project in Visual Source Safe by doing a search, Is there a similar functionality implemented in team explorer? Right now I have to click on every folder and see if files from that folder are checked out by any one else or not.
Thanks
Add this command into the "External Tools..." list of VS.
Tools >> External Tools…
Select “Add” and enter the following:
Title: “View all checked-out files”
Command: “tf.exe”
Arguments: “status $(ProjectDir) /user:* /recursive “
Check “Use Output window”
Un-check “Prompt for arguments”
Select “OK”.
Get the TFS Power Tools - they integrate into the Team Explorer view. You'll get a list of people on the team. You can right click the team members and see their current changesets.
You can check out the TFS Power Tools on the Microsoft site here - the October 2008 edition has the Team Members functionality.
The Attrice TFS Sidekicks can be used to get some info not displayed in VS. I believe the Status view will display what you are after: http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs
Installing the (free) Team Foundation Server Power Tools from Microsoft adds a number of extra features to Source Control Explorer including the ability to right click on a folder and choose "Find In Source Control".
You can download Team Foundation Server Power Tools from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/teamsystem/bb980963.aspx.
You can run TF.exe status command statement to get list of files checked out under specific project. you can also search based on user name..
here is the link for more information.

Hope this helps
As far as I know it's not possible from Team Explorer.
You can do it from command line using TF STATUS command.
