Ever get this error before? Well, I did and I guess it was bound to appear eventually.
My problem occurred when tried to create a new site using the "Search Center with Tabs" template. I got an error message stating that a required feature wasn't activated (I should have known better!). Anyway, tried to activate it and I got an access denied error! What now?
Well, Sahil Malik has a 4 line post on getting this done via-stsadm tool. Thanks Sahil :)
For those of you who haven't heard about it yet, the Portable Document Format (pdf) is now officially an ISO standard. Read more about it on Betsy Fannings blog post.
There are heaps of resources out there regarding installing and setting up of pdf ifilter. But since you're here, I'll walk you through it as well.
Firstly, do a Google search for "Adobe Pdf ifilter" and then download the latest/correct version of it. Now, prior to installing the ifilter, stop the IIS Admin Service from the Services console.
Now, install the ifilter by following the on-screen prompts. Then navigate to the TEMPLATE\IMAGES folder under "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12" aka the 12 Hive. Copy in your pdf icon image here. Download and use this icon if you wish (pdficon.gif).
Then still within the 12 Hive navigate to TEMPLATE\XML folder and open the DOCICON.XML file for editing. Paste in this line into the file.
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdficon.gif"/>
Save and close the file, then Restart your IIS Admin Service.
Go into your Shared Services Provider SSP, under Search Settings --> Crawl Settings click on the File types link. Click New File Type and add "pdf" then click ok. Perform a crawl if required. Try searching for a pdf document and it should pick it up.
I much prefer using this compared to the Site Directory Home page. My reasons, well it's a web part so it comes with all the shared web parts settings.
Just a quick tip, if you want everything to be hierarchical in one single column then on the Modify shared web part settings under the Presentation setting, set the display column to 1 (Pic1). You'll have something organised as such (see Pic2).

If your SharePoint requires support for large files then it's important that have a read of this.
Configuration actions described:
Do note however, there are certain limitations to large file support. These features will not support files larger then 50MB.
I simply love the way my Hotmail looks now. It's simple yet cool at the same time. It definitely loads faster, and it's seems more intuitive (or that could just be me). For those who like or use Outlook Web Access (OWA) , you can see where Microsoft is going with this. Overall, a really very nice and clean email interface, brilliant. Big thanks to the guys at Windows Live/Hotmail.

Ever wonder why images in a particular content source does not get returned via-search query? Well, the first thing you would want to check is Search Crawl file types option. Image types such a .jpg and .gif aren't included in the list by default.
Always remember to check the most obvious things first. This saves you a lot of time and not to mention pain.
