Modifying the second level navigation arrow image

Open your master page. Switch to Code View. Search for "TopNavigationMenu". This should take you to the global navigation (top nav) instance of AspMenu.

Hiding the Quick Launch View All Site Content link

At this point you have two options: 1) hide the View All Site Content link for everyone or 2) hide the View All Site Content link for everyone who does not have Full Control to the site. I prefer the second option because it gives administrators the ability to still have access to the link. Option 1 – Hide View All Site Content for everyone: Click on the View All Site Content link in the Design view. This will select the Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl.

This will keep you from having to continuously upload new documents to test the workflow. You can upload one "test document" and keep using it, by manually starting the workflow on that document. If you want "Automatic" starting of the workflow, turn that on after you are done testing/building, if you'd like, but if you are building this workflow on an "already existing" document library, you don't want your workflow to inadvertently run while you are building it, should someone put a fi

A solution to "An unexpected error has occurred" in WSS v3

Debugging SharePoint can be problematic at times, it does like to hide debugging information from you. The bain of my life recently has been “An unexpected error has occurred” with nothing written to log files, trace or the event log. Normally I can debug the problem with a little commenting & narrowing down of the problem, but today I have managed to get rid of that error screen completely.
