Tracking Word Document Changes After Changes Have Been Made

If you work with the Track Changes function in Word, you know that you can’t track the changes if it is not turned on – or can you? If you still have a copy of the original document, you can:

With the edited document open, choose Tools -> Track Changes -> Compare Documents. In the Choose a File dialog box that appears, navigate to the original unedited document and click Open. A new document will appear with every change made between the two documents highlighted or, in Print Layout view, commented. All you have to do now is work on that new document and choose Tools -> Track Changes -> Highlight Changes and be sure that you’ve enabled the Track Changes While Editing option so that any changes you make from now on are also tracked.

Open Network Connections In Windows Vista

If you want to open the network connection list in Vista, it is quite a bit more complicated than it is in XP, where you could just right click Network Connections and click Properties.
In Vista you can go through several clicks in the Control Panel – or you can just type ncpa.cpl in the search field on the Start menu. Press the Enter key and the network connections list appears.
You can also take this one step further and create a shortcut to the network connections list.

Create A New Folder In Windows Explorer With The Keyboard Only

A little something for when it’s just too much work to reach for the mouse:

Instead of clicking the File menu, pointing to New, etc or right-clicking into the file pane, you can often just press the F+W+F keys while holding down the ALT key and a new folder is created on most systems.
On some you can try to use F+W while pressing ALT and then hit the Enter key.
