People often search for the regional settings. For Sharepoint 2010 regional settings can be adjusted at site level.

To change a date format say to yyyy-mm-dd, go to "Site Action" then "Site Settings" under Site Administration, click Regional settings. Adjust the format to the desired setting and click "Ok".

To add a custom content type to your Sharepoint 2010 list follow the steps beneath. These steps don't really differ from the way you add content types in Sharepoint 2007, but then again practice never hurts.

1. Click 'Library' in the SharePoint 2010 ribbon and then under 'Library Settings', click Advanced settings.

2. Click Yes for Allow management of content types and then click OK.

3. Under the Content Types section, click 'Add from existing site content types'.

4. Selecte the content types you would like to add and then click Add. Finish by clicking 'Ok'

The design of Sharepoint 2010 contains several new security features. Opening certain files types in browser view is prohibited by default. One of which is the opening of .eml files.

To change this setting do the following:

• Go to 'Manage Web Applications' in the Central Administration Console - 
• Click 'General Settings'
• set 'Browser File Handling' to 'Permissive'.

Attention: only adjust this setting if you are really confident the files are safe. Forcing files to download is a security measure to prevent the running of mallicious code.  

Dat iedereen het zijne denkt over bepaalde nieuwe producten is logisch, en geeft binnen Seven-Winds vaak aanleiding tot gezonde en interessante discussies. Af en toe echter komt er een product uit dat de gemoederen meer dan gemiddeld bezighoudt. De recent door Apple geïntroduceerde iPad is daar een goed voorbeeld van. Niels Remmerswaal denkt daar het zijne over.

During a maintenance session for one of our customers a question about anonymous access for Infopath service came up.
I've found the following information at the website of Ervin Gayle.

However, I encountered one area that asked "Can users submit these forms anonymously?” At that point, I tried to go through the steps of activating anonymous access in central administration and in IIS which worked. Upon clicking the submit button I received a "Critical Error has occurred while processing this form" error. Similar to that of the user in the post linked below:
