CentOS: Create Swap Partition

One of my CentOS 7 Core hosts on CloudCone has only 256MB of memory. Here's my note while enable swap partition for it.

[tuyendq@1 ~]$ free

[Microsoft Outlook]: Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key

Set .pst and .ost files location with ForcePSTPath Registry Key The ForcePSTPath registry key is supported by Microsoft Outlook 2003 and later.

Microsoft Outlook 2013 saves .pst in   %userprofile%\Documents\Outlook Files folder by default. We can change that default setting by adding a new string registry key called ForcePSTPath and set the value to the folder that we want to save those files.
