Fortinet "diag vpn tunnel reset" command. Yikes!

While working on a Fortigate that is the central hub for a vpn network, I typed "diag vpn tunnel reset". I intended to type "diag vpn tunnel reset tunnel-name". Most of the vpns dropped and would not come back online. The equipment had to be rebooted at all the remote sites to bring up the vpn tunnels.

Dont do this!!!

Citrix users cannot remove old shortcuts from the Start Menu

Users are not allowed to right click and remove shortcuts. I found the location in the registry but it is encrypted. If I remove all of UserAssist, the Start Menu is empty.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\

After a day of searching I found this this tool that worked for my setup.

Now I am able to remove one outdated shortcut and leave the rest.

I can not view the Primary Stream on Pelco cameras.

This is the default setting when accessing this camera in a web browser.

  

Next I get this on Safari.
