Have you ever want to block a user's ability to surf the Web using Internet Explorer? Here's how you can do that! Use a Group Policy Object (GPO) that forces Internet Explorer to use a proxy server with an address of 0.0.0.0 for port 80 requests.

Read on as we show you how to tame Chrome and get it to play nice with Flash. More so than other browsers, Google Chrome is particularly susceptible to a specific but not uncommon situation in which it simply will not coexist peacefully with Adobe Flash—frequent slow downs and annoying crashes are common as a result.

Based on years of experience meeting with clients and organizations too numerous to count, I’ve built this list with the idea of cataloging the IT industry’s 10 most practical, in-demand certifications.
