If you’re a Mac user, sometimes you can feel like the operating system is too simplistic. Work professionally and you can feel like that, although it looks great, there was too much emphasis placed on making the user-interface accessible to newbies, rather than concentrating on power for the advanced Mac user.Apart from security tools, on the Windows operating system there are more tweaking,

Packing files for distribution on disc or across the Internet isn’t always easy. Will the end-user know how to extract files from a ZIP archive? If so, will they know how to process the files when extracted? What happens if they have an old Mac that doesn’t support ZIP, but they still want to see the latest holiday photos you’ve zipped for download?There are many dilemmas faced when getting files

This is a silly hack, but it’s interesting. You just might want to use the standard system (Windows) font for the Office UI, instead of Microsoft Office’s own fonts. The standard system font is what you set in the system properties by, for example, right-clicking on the Desktop, going to Appearance, and choosing Large Fonts (or something else).To make Office use the font you selected as the

This hack applies only to the Microsoft Office 2000.In case you are experiencing a slow down on your Windows system it could be due to Office 2000. Office 2000 comes with a Find Fast Indexer that helps in increasing file search speed.
