Rescues the classic menu bar in Office 2007
Rescues the classic menu bar in Office 2007
One of the most remarkable changes in Microsoft Office 2007 was the adoption of a new visual style, which dispensed with text menus and keypads to use a tape tabs.
As often happens in these cases, many users have chosen to follow Backward Office to avoid having to face a change of habits that seems radical.
Fortunately, there is a free to rescue the old menus and button bars of earlier versions of Office, thus facilitating the migration to the new interface. Let's see what it is and how it is installed.
The supplement in question is called UBitMenu. It is free for personal use, but also offers commercial MSI package for deployment in corporate environments. Installation could not be easier: simply download the installer and run it. Once you run Word, Powerpoint or Excel, you'll see a new tab available:
Barra Menu
Menu tab, added by UBitMenu in addition, will show all the classic menus and keypads by default. Almost all the features of the 2007 version are available, maintaining the appearance of the new drop down menus. For example, the dramatic Powerpoint style selector remains unchanged:
UBitMenu has two drawbacks that must be taken into account. The first is its inability to modify the menus and buttons as they did in Office 2003 and earlier. The other is that it can not be invoked with the Alt key, since the default configuration of Office 2007 prevents it. Problems are quickly forgotten when you consider that it is translated into Spanish and is free – unlike Classic Menu for Office 2007, And payment is translated into fewer languages.
If you were still wondering about the possibility of migrating to the latest version of Office, UBitMenu can help you make the leap and get used to the new user interface without losing productivity on the road.

Five enhancements to Explorer context menu
Five enhancements to Explorer context menu
When you click the right mouse buttonAlmost always brings up a menu with a handful of options. This box is called a graceful little 'context menu' - or 'menu' right 'for friends. In Windows, to invoke, you can also use key Tecla Menuor combination Control + Shift + F10.
The contextual menu is known and used by far is the Windows Explorer, which allows you to perform operations with files and folders typical. Many programs also will add their own commands, with often disastrous results, as the menu goes from being a bland box to an unmanageable monster.
For your available file explorer contextual menu neat and productiveWe will recommend, in five categories, tools that we believe, if not indispensable, highly recommended.
1. Add a complete package of tools
FileMenu ToolsInstead of adding a single function, some programs contain several utilities grouped in a single package. This is the case FileMenu Tools, Open + + or Qwiktulz. Qwiktulz is the only one that does not add a separate section, adding the fifteen functions in the root of the Explorer menu. Open + + offers greater flexibility, but includes fewer items.
FileMenu Tools is the best. Not only in Spanish but has a great panel, from which you can manage the menu 'Send to' command to modify other applications and manage their own, which include functions to copy and change attributes, split and join files, destroyed and many more.
2. Convert and edit multimedia files
dMCOne of the more powerful features you can access the contextual menu is the conversion of files. An example is dMC - Or dBpowerAMP Music Converter - a powerful audio converter that lets you move songs from one format to another in two clicks. For video you have VIDEOzilla, One of the few converters that have a good integration with Explorer. Before proceeding, VideoInspector will provide all the information you need about a particular video.
Image manipulation, we have more tools yet. To resize or convert images you can choose between VSO Image Resizer, Morz Image Converter, Right Click Image Converter or Image Converter Plus. The first two are free, and while that Morz Image Converter can say it is light and versatile enough, we can not stop praising VSO Image Resizer by the elegance of its interface and the number of accessible functions: conversion, resizing, optimization and even a filter.
3. Upload or move files in a flash
RightLoadMove files with the context menu is another much needed role. To upload to a remote FTP server with excellent test RightLoad, Upload Express or Fling. While Fling is more focused on the timing, RightLoad (formerly known as ShellFTP) is perhaps the most intuitive and powerful option, can upload multiple files at once, create thumbnails of images before upload and manage multiple profiles in a single menu.
For other items, the selection diversifies. Flickr sendto Upload images to the popular online photo storage, while Send To GMail notable advantage of the Google mail space to save files. UniUpload is even more interesting because it adds options to upload images to ImageShack and files to MediaFire. If you run short, then download SendToAny, Which will add a submenu to 'Send to' compatible with any route possible. What if you need the previous listing of a directory? Filelist are created for you in a second, ready to print.
4. Rapidly increases your safety
VirusTotal UploaderThe speed of the contextual menu makes it an ideal place in which to place security options. The vast majority of antivirus programs already do, but there are still unexplored areas. If you want to stay quiet VirusTotal Uploader is a supplement that you will like. What it does is upload any file to the VirusTotal page for more than thirty antivirus analyze both their content.
If you want to protect your files with a password, we recommend FileProtector AndrosaCompatible with several standard algorithms. For Secure EraseAnother important facet of computer security, check out DeleteOnClick, EZ Wipe or Eraser. Eraser is the most complete and reliable of the three. And if there are files that refuse to be erased or tampered with, look no further, Unlocker Get what you need. To check hash files, the most complete is FileVerifier + +, With support for over twenty algorithms.
5. Not everything is add ...
ShellMenuViewIf you consider that the context menu has become overpopulated can use some cleaning tools. The more powerful ShellMenuViewBut you can also try Context Menu Editor and MenuMaid.
Besides being portable, ShellMenuView is the most comprehensive and less destructive of the three. Each item can be quickly deactivated and reactivated F7 to F8, or open the Registry Editor F6.
Surely we have made some trick or some application in the pipeline. What are your favorite utilities context menu? Is there some of which you can not do without?

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog
Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog
ThinkPad T61 14.13 widescreen notebook
Important to note is that this review covers the 14.13 widescreen version of the T61 series. As with any laptop model series, there are going to be widely varying configurations you can choose that will greatly affect system performance.
Specs:
- Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)
- Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
- Operating System: Windows Vista Business
- Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (LG screen)
- Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM (Seagate Momentus 7200.1)
- Memory: 2GB (1GB x 1GB), up to 4GB max
- Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 FireWire, Monitor out, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in
- Slots: 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader)
- Optical Drive: Ultra-slim Super-Multi Drive
- Dimensions: 13.23 x 9.33 x 1.09 - 1.263 (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm)
- Weight: 5.1lbs
The good: Internal roll cage protects LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi for faster wireless throughput; very small A/C adaptor adds little to overall travel weight; Intel's Active Management Technology provides remote support.
The bad: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.
The bottom line: Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same, solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform.
Design and Build
The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won't fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside.
The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 meaning it's once again excellent. The only difference is that now there's more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook.
The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss.
Screen
The new widescreen format screen for the 14.13 T-series is either good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your personal preference. Lenovo will try and convince you widescreen offers more screen real estate and so it's better, the reality is the guys making the LCD screens are forcing it down the throats of the PC manufacturers because it's cheaper to make widescreen LCDs.
The particular screen I got is a WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). It provides easy viewing and you can fit a good amount on the screen, so no complaints on that front. The screen is crisp and there are no issues with graininess. The matte finish ensures there's little to no glare in office lighting situations.
Processor and Performance
The ThinkPad T61 now uses the Intel Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa) platform. You get a faster processor front side bus (800MHz), more processor cache (4MB) and an improved integrated graphics solution in the form of the Intel X3100. If all that talk is nonsense to you, then suffice it to say the T61 offers newer and better processing components than the T60. Will this performance be perceivable in helping to run MS Word faster? No of course not, but certain processor intensive tasks such as encoding video will be faster. And even if you won't be utilizing every ounce of processing power, just knowing the processor is faster and you're on top of the game is enough to make people like myself want to buy it.
Battery Life
+

One thing that's always a concern with a new platform is battery life. Reading the first reviews that came out about the T61 sounded like gloom and doom with reports of 2 hour battery life. It seems most of the initial reviews were done using very power hungry dedicated graphics solutions and with a 4-cell battery.
I had the opportunity to test a larger 6-cell battery on an integrated graphics system, and got 3 hours and 41 minutes of battery life under what I would deem normal usage. I was using the T61 with screen brightness set to half or lower, Vista battery optimized setting, wireless off to get this number. In a torture test, I set the screen brightness to top level, put in a DVD (Stargate) and played it until the battery hit 5% and the PC went to sleep – which happened after exactly 2 hours 15 minutes. I wouldn't call that bad, it'll get you through most movies.
The downside of a 6-cell battery is that it sticks out of the back (see pics) and weighs more, but I'm always be willing to carry a bit more weight for an extra hour of battery life. A positive comment that should be made is the power adapter is nice and small, it's actually the same size as the X60 ultraportable series adapter.
Keyboard / Touchpad / Pointing Stick
The ThinkPad T-series hasn't changed too much over time, and that's a good thing, there's no use changing something that's just right. The ThinkPad keyboard is one of, if not the best, notebook keyboards out there. There's zero flex, every key feels individual, every key has great travel/feedback and the keyboard is full-size.
The T61 has a pointing stick, I love using this and find it much easier than the provided touchpad it makes it so you can move the cursor around the screen without having to lift your hand from the keys, a much faster and easier to control style of input. But the great thing is that if the pointing stick isn't your cup of tea then you've got the touchpad as well.
Wireless
The ThinkPad T61 uses the Intel 4965 wireless chip that offers 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless reception. All of your bases are covered there, and the greater range 802.11n offers is on the table if you have an 802.11n router. The range of the ThinkPad is theoretically greater now that the lid material has changed to plastic too. The antenna is run up through the lid for better reception you see, and the new lid material allows radio waves to reach the antenna more easily. I was only able to test up to 100-feet away from my NetGear WGR614 802.11g wireless router, which I despise for its bad performance and tendency to drop connections, but the T61 worked just fine with it and I never suffered a connection drop and throughput was consistently good.
