Leak in .NET ContextMenu

Interesting post on Paul Wilson Blog (one of my favourite Blog) about a possible new .NET Framework leak. 

It seems that every time a MenuItem is added to a ContextMenu in .NET WinForms, it adds a reference to the MenuItem in an internal static hashtable.  This may not be “wrong” if you only setup your context menu one time, but if you do things dynamically it means that all the old context menuitems are still technically reachable...

Windows Rights Management Add-on for IE out.

Just checked from MS:

The Windows Rights Management Add-on for Internet Explorer is a tool that provides a way for users of supported Windows operating systems to view, but not alter, files with restricted permission. These restrictions enable authors to prevent sensitive documents, Web-based information, and e-mail messages from being forwarded, edited, or copied by unauthorized individuals, and provide protection, not only while the information is in transit, but also after the recipient of the information has received it.

Note: In order for you to successfully run the Rights Management Add-on for Internet Explorer (RMA) pleaseyou have to first install the Windows Rights Management client (RM).
