Need a GUID? Use PowerShell!

Need to generate a new GUID but don’t have any developer tools installed?

This is easy with PowerShell.  Just enter the following command:

[System.Guid]::NewGuid()

You will get an output similar to:

Guid
----
3ca14ab2-21c9-4c16-956a-55f303f2fbb7

Of course if need be you can assign the new GUID to a variable and use it from there in your scripts.

Enjoy.

MS Project 2010: Camera Icon (Where is it!!!)

Previous versions of Microsoft Project had the little Camera Icon that let you save the Gannt chart as a JPG picture.
The camera icon is removed in Microsoft Project 2010 and has been replaced with the non-intuitive "Copy Picture" command located in the Copy Sub Menu of the Ribbon an the Task Tab.
That took months to find!!!!
