Office Tabs create tabs inside Microsoft Office

Editing a lot of document using Microsoft Office? Tired switching from one document to another document? Yup, if you have so many document opened, I believe your taskbar is so full and you'll be confused. Hmm, don't worry guys! Now you can use Office Tabs to help you managing your document.

So what is Office tabs? This is what they said in their homepage.

Office Tabs is a powerful office add-in to view, edit and manage documents, workbooks or presentations etc via a Tabbed View in Microsoft Office 2003, 2007 and 2010. Microsoft Office has not supported tabbed view by itself yet. Office Tabs solves this issue. With Office Tabs, you can manage multiple documents within a single window easily and quickly.

I've tested this on Office 2010, and let's see this screenshot..

Windows XP and Wireless Network

Today I got new experience when trying to connect to a wireless network. The story began when I'm using Windows XP on a laptop and tried to connect on an available wireless network.

Up button for 7 & Vista

One thing missing when moving from Windows XP to Windows Vista or Windows 7 is the up button, right? Although back button takes up button position, I think it can't replace the main functionality of the up button. Is it possible to bring back the up button? Of course! Classic Shell will help you to do that.

Classic Explorer interface

What is Classic Shell? It is a project that can help you to customize your Windows installation, for example change your start menu into classic start menu, enable add classic explorer, etc. You can see it in http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ . Now, we back to the question, how to get back the up button? Simply, download Classic Shell in http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ and install it in your Windows.

Next, open your Windows Explorer and use alt button to show your menu toolbar. The, right click in your menu toolbar and choose Classic Explorer or Classic Shell and go to Classic Explorer setting. There you can customize your Windows Explorer, and check show up button below Title bar tweaks. And finish! Easy, right? Now you can use up button on your titlebar. Come on, try it yourself.
