This might be a helpful thread for Java Runtime Environment users and application developers. Some applications behave abnormally if you are not running the required and supportive version of JRE in your computer. CISCO ASDM is a good example. I had issues when I installed it in JRE Update 19. So you need to remove this version and install a compatible version of JRE Update 17.
All you need to do is uninstall the existing version and install a compatible version of Java Runtime Environment. Here comes JavaRa
Tiny utility JavaRa cleans up older or redundant versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that might be littering up your PC, and optionally updates to the latest version. It's a simple tool that just works.
Download JavaRa

The response from Microsoft for the below issue made me laugh at Microsoft
Issue is When you start the Remote Desktop Connection client, you may find that the window size is the same as the remote desktop size, not full screen as expected; however, the Maximize button indicates the window is in the maximized state. If you click the Maximize button, the window does not enter full-screen mode as expected; instead, the window is restored to a size slightly smaller than the remote desktop size.
Solution provided by Microsoft: "To work around this issue, restart the computer. The Default.rdp file is replaced by Windows File Protection as soon as you restart the Remote Desktop client."

This is so funny as Microsoft asks to restart the server for small window size of remote desktop connection.
The solution that works is
1. Go to run > mstsc
2. Under Display Tab, move the “Display configuration” settings to Full Screen mode.
3. Now try connecting to the server. Your issue is resolved. No need to restart the computer.

If you have tried surfing Gmail in iPad, you may find it different than what you have used on your desktop. Yes Google has released new version of Gmail Interface ( Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app) specially for iPad (launched for launched for iPhone and Android devices as well). It is classic, see below. You would defintely love to have the same interface in your desktop or laptop computer.

The solution is very simple to do if you already have firefox browser or else download firefox. Here it is
1. Install the User Agent Switcher Firefox extension
2. Once installed, go to Tools -> Default User Agent -> Edit user agents.
3.Click New -> User agent, then copy and paste the iPad-spoofing user agent below in 'User Agent' text field.
Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10

4. Now that you've added the new user agent, select it as your active user agent. (Tools -> Default User Agent -> iPad)
5. Now navigate to and log into Gmail. When it loads the Gmail interface, you should see the tablet-friendly interface you see in the screenshot above.
