summer. We intend to ship Windows DreamScene and the remaining 20 Language Packs by the end of the summer. We will not ship the last two Extras
showcased in January (Windows DreamScene and the remaining 20 Language Packs) until they meet the high quality bar required by our enthusiastic
customersand we believe that we can achieve that bar by the end of this summer.

Windows registry forensics guide: Investigating hacker activities
When analysing a compromised Windows system, investigators and system administrators can glean enormously useful information about attackers' actions
by looking through the Windows registry, a hierarchical database storing tens of thousands of settings on a modern Windows box. Whether an outside
attacker compromised the box, an inside employee engaged in nefarious activities, or malware inexplicably infected the machine, the Windows registry
contains wonderful gems of information for investigators. In this tip, we'll look at what information investigators can gather about user activity
via the registry. Next month, we'll focus on how investigators can pull useful registry information associated with the overall operating system.

Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008
Administrative templates provide Group Policy setting information for the items that appear under Administrative Templates. Group Policy tools use
Administrative template files to populate policy settings in the user interface. This allows administrators to manage registry-based policy
settings.
Administrative template files in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista are divided into ADMX (language-neutral) and
ADML (language-specific) files. ADML files are XML-based ADM language files that are stored in a language-specific folder. By default, the
%Systemroot%PolicyDefinitions folder on a local computer stores all ADMX files, and ADML files for all languages that are enabled on the
computer.

Symantec tool cleans up Windows XP SP3 registry corruption
Symantec Thursday released a free tool that wipes spurious entries from Windows' registry that had crippled some PCs running the company's
security software after they were upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Vista SP1. The tool, SymRegFix, had been promised by Symantec two
weeks ago when users reported that upgrading to XP SP3 emptied Windows' Device Manager, deleted network connections and packed the registry with
thousands of bogus entries.
Symantec initially blamed Microsoft for the snafu, but later accepted some responsibility. Last week, the
company said the combination of a Microsoft process and the SymProtect feature of its Norton-branded consumer security software had added the errant
registry entries, and it told users to turn off that feature before upgrading. Symantec's SymRegFix clean-up tool can be downloaded from the company's site.

Apple will be allowing users to add other turn by turn type applications. Google maps will now be allowed to be embedded into applications and it
will give you all of the same functionality that the stand alone app has. What developers will come up with is only a guess but it should allow for
many new and more useful applications.

And here's the new, hopefully final registry key documentation,

Sears First Out Of Gates with 2D Bar Codes
Efforts to implement retail 2D bar codes are accelerating: Sears, in conjuction with vendor ScanBuy, became the first U.S. retailer to begin a public
trial that started in mid-December at a store in Marietta, Georgia. As opposed the the traditional row of black lines (a 1D barcode), 2D barcodes look
like a grid and make use of a second, vertical dimension, allowing them to store more data. What Sears hopes to do is to allow a cell phone's
digital camera "look" at a small 2D bar code on an advertisement, which launches an applet. A server interprets the bar code and the phone then
launches a Web browser and deep-links to a page on that site, typically the Web site of the advertiser.
