OzTechnologies Name Change

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

After a great deal of pondering I’ve decided to change the OzTechnologies trading name to OzCableguy.com effective from 1/7/09.

The main reason behind the change is I feel that the OzTechnologies name is too generic with over 30 other Australian business with similar names including a couple of direct competitors, so I’m often asked about pickups at our shops in other cities. (We only have the one office in Brisbane that ships Australia wide).

I also find a lot of people don’t realise that the two websites are related.

The OzCableguy name on the other hand is unique, has been around for a lot longer and is much better recognised.

The existing OzTechnologies online shopping website will continue to function for a while yet but eventually will change to redirect to the new location at http://shop.ozcableguy.com.

All other details including our ABN, address and telephone numbers remain unchanged.

Removing “Attach as Adobe PDF” button from Outlook emails

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

If you use any of the Acrobat Pro applications you may have noticed new emails in Outlook have an annoying “Attach as Adobe PDF” button that just won’t go away. You can untick it via the View > Toolbar option in Outlook but as soon as you close and re-open Outlook, it’s back again.

To fix it, open regedit (Start > run > regedit) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Office > Outlook > Addins > PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook.
Double click on “LoadBehaviour” and change the value to 0. (If you want to bring the button back again you can always change the value back to 3).

Next time you open Outlook it’ll be gone, until you install the next Acrobat update. Then you’ll need to go through this procedure again.
