מי שלא משתמש עדיין במדיה סנטר (Windows Media Center) מוזמן לעשות זאת, לטעמי תכונה ממש מוצלחת במיוחד גרסת Win7. לכל המשתמשים: הרשת מלאה בתוספים מסוגים שונים. אני מתחיל סדרת פוסטים על התוספים הכי פונקציונאלים שיש לי. אתם מוזמנים להתייחס ולהוסיף עוד בהערות. Techie Tal ממליץ: HeatWave מדובר בתוסף שמציג את מזג האויר בצורה הכי ברורה ויפה, כל המידע הנדרש בעמוד אחד. אז למי (שכמו אצלי המדיה סנטר פתוח אצלו מול המיטה ) וממש רוצה לדעת איזה בגדים להלביש לילדים בבוקר, זה התוסף המומלץ להיום: התקנה פשוטה: קובץ msi...

A couple of weeks ago I've been inspired by Shlomo Goldberg to create a Microsoft blog. Though it's pretty easy these days to find all the information you need about every little problem you have while programming I still decided to post mine (and of course their solutions) to provide another source of information for them. I do realize that my solutions could be wrong, and thus...

Ever wrote a word document where you needed to use a lot of hyperlinks? You need to go to your internet site, copy the URL, go back to the document, mark you text, right-click, select “Hyperlink”, paste the address in the link textbox and press OK ! well, no more !
