Products - The Dot Net Factory

Products - The Dot Net Factory: "The Dot Net Factory's SharePoint Explorer is an Internet Explorer add-on that provides users with an easy to use way to navigate any SharePoint Portal or Windows SharePoint Services site. SharePoint sites suffer from a lack of a unified hierarchical view of what sites you have access to, how to get there, and where you are in the hierarchy. SharePoint Explorer is the first client-based product to address this navigation issue for browsing any SharePoint site. SharePoint Explorer displays an explorer-like navigation tree of the Areas, Sites and Sub-Sites for the servers you select. SharePoint Explorer also provides powerful features for administrators, including links to common administrative tasks. For an administrative user, these task links are presented in the Admin Tasks node. "

HowTO Quickly Access Web Part Management Page

HowTO Quickly Access Web Part Management Page: "If you're ever having an issue with the view of your page and your need to get to the web part maintenance page to quickly reset a personal view back to the default shared view, simply amend the url with "?contents=1"
I.E. http://myserver/mysite/default.aspx?contents=1
I recently had an issue with personalized views and used this page as an alternative to going into SQL and blowing out the views there. It's a much safer route to go." Nice solution useful thanks Mark Kruger.
