When you send a job to a printer not on your office network from inside VMWare or another VPN, you may not see all of the options which should be available in the properties for the printer.

The tip of the night for October 11, 2020 discussed the open source program that can be used with almost any scanner, Not Another PDF Scanner (NAPS).
When using this application in order to access the options for the document scanner, you need to select the 'Use native UI' radial button.
When this is selected after you click the scan 'play' button, a dialog box will come up that will let you choose between using the automatic document feeder or the flatbed; select the color format; and designate the image file type.

When opening an encrypted zip file in Windows Explorer you may get an error message indicating that a destination file could not be created.
While this can result if you try to extract files to a directory that you don't have read / write permissions for, it may also be caused by Windows Explorer not being able to prompt the user for the entry of a password. Tonight, when I experienced this problem, I tried opening the file in 7Zip which did prompt me for a password, and I was able to successfully extract and open the zipped files.
