Microsoft Excel 2003 File Management and Recovery

Microsoft Excel 2003 can remember more of your recently accessed accounting statements, tax sheets, and other spreadsheets. In the Startup Pane and in the "File" menu, Microsoft Excel 2003 remembers the names of the last 4 files that u opened. You can frequently view those files, if u want to remember where the files are on your hard drive or the filenames themselves. Excel 2003 can remember the last nine filenames.

1. Click "Tools" then "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "General" tab.
3. Next to Recently used file list, enter 9
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

Hello All

Tired of ur old homepage on Microsoft Internet Explorer 6?????

Instead of going through all the steps to open Internet Options from the menu, just to change your home page. Navigate to the page you want. Drag the icon in the address bar in the left side of the URL and drag it to the home button.When you release the mouse button, you'll be asked if you want to set your home page to this URL, select yes.

JM do you like it better then CCleaner?

CCleaner is a good quick one click solution. But checking the unnecessary file types listed on that site don't hurt. There are some pretty good tips there on that site. IMO

Thanks for your 2 cents I will give it a try.

EDIT......
I thought I would mention a new image hosting site I found it's called Image Ox I like it just as much as ImageShack

Failing HDD sounds

Eventually we are all going to hear one of these sounds, if you do and have everything important backed up not too big a problem just get a new drive and transfer the important stuff back. If ya don't have the important stuff backed up hurry!!!

Well it didn't help me out but it looks like a neat program if you want to clean up your control panel list.
