Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by asadalikhan Nick, this issue sounds like a file association problem. Your URL shortcuts on the shortcut bar are likely opening with the wrong program (like a printer handler). Here’s a quick fix: 1. Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types 2. Find and select .URL 3. Click Advanced and ensure it’s set to open with Internet Explorer (… Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by asadalikhan Nick, it’s likely a file association issue. Reassign `.url` files to open with Internet Explorer in Folder Options > File Types. That should fix the shortcut bar behavior.

Re: How to open an Excel Document in VB.NET Programming Software Development by JamesMichaelm I see it's been a while since you posted, but I'm curious if anyone here has tried using the Open XML SDK instead of Interop or OleDb for reading Excel files. I found it faster and doesn't require Excel to be installed, though it can be more complex for writing. Wondering how others handle big Excel files or ones with tricky formatting? Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Anonymous_2133 I have always been a fan of the Office 2000 shortcut bar. It has been on my windows desktop since I got it, up until Windows 10 19H2 (RIP). If you are still looking for a replacement, try searching for "Quick Pick" by "Automation in Motion".

Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim I stick with Windows because of long familiarity at the office. After years of networking/sysadmin and dbadmin I just had too much invested in MS. Too bad OS/2 died. When we got PC workstations for the control centre operators to interface to our AGTC/SCADA system we went for OS/2. We felt it was far superior to anything from Microsoft at the time… Re: How old is your computer? Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim >Our office started with PC DOS and WordStar If you want to get really picky, I spent a year (1978) doing medical research on a Cromemco running CP/M and whatever horrid OS (if you can even call it that) ran on a small Data General beast.

If you haven't been following along at home, Microsoft took a dip into the cloud with the release Office 2010 Online this past week. Meanwhile, Google, feeling a wee bit threatened by Microsoft honing in on its territory in the cloud, … A Pivotal Moment for Microsoft Office Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Techwriter10 Office 2010 awaits us later this year, and I've been wondering what it could possibly offer customers that would compel us to buy or upgrade to this software. Office software in general progressed about as far as most of us needed it to go somewhere in the 90s. Since then it's been race to add the most bells and whistles, most of which go unused. … Re: Office 2010 Online and Google Docs Really Are Different Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Techwriter10 Singleton, Let's be realistic here. I'm not saying Office is good, bad or indifferent. I'm stating an obvious fact. If you have a limited budget and you can do 90 percent of what you need to do on a free tool, you are not going to set up with expensive licenses when there are lots of free and low cost alternatives. If you need Excel, you'll buy a … Re: Office 2010 Online and Google Docs Really Are Different Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Singleton IMO, Excel is the only option. These online "alternatives" (read sarcastically) are just basically toys. Most office workers are trained in the Microsoft product suite. Not everyone is a computer geek. If you were to look at TCO, it surely would cost more money to retrain employees to use a "free" alternative then to just … Re: Office 2010 Online and Google Docs Really Are Different Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Techwriter10 Converted, I've used both and since I don't use Office 2010, Google Docs is a much better choice for me. As I said, in the post, they are different and have different purposes and goals. Office is really an online world to share Office 2010 docs. If you're in that environment, it's a great choice for you.

We also run reviews, but this isn't one of them. I disagree with your feelings about online alternatives. Tools like Google Docs are not toys. They are just as valid as Office and for enterprise users, much cheaper, for individual small business users, free. Thanks for your comments and ideas. Ron Re: Office 2010 Online and Google Docs Really Are Different Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Converted Google Docs was just ok and that was when it was the only serious game in town. Office online is here (http://workspace.officelive.com) you've got to wonder why anyone who steps out from under a rock would use google docs anymore. Unless they get into a feature war, there is little reason to stay with docs and a whole slew of reasons to switch.
