How to uninstall MS Office 2011 for Mac?

Unlike with Office 2008 where you have to use a special Uninstall application, it is possible to uninstall a new MS Office just draging it to Trashcan.

Windows Server 2003 Error when trying to login via RDP: The RPC server is unavailable.

Got it today (Friday 13, huh!) after scheduled patches installation and restart.
Solution - connect to the box via remote registry and create the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
IgnoreRegUserConfigErrors = Dword:1

Windows: Delete a file with dot at the end of file name (c:\test\file.)

There are two methods do delete such files. Unfortunately, Windows can't do that and even chkdsk is not able to resolve the issue.

First method: del "\\?\c:\test\file." - doesn't works for me, still getting a message mentioned "file can't be found" or something like that.

Second: Use Unlocker - works just great!
