Create a Shortcut to Quickly Access the Last Document Opened in Word 2013

Quickly Access the Last Document Opened in Word 2013

00_lead_image_shortcut_to_last_doc
If you’re working on a long document in Word, you’ll probably be opening it often until it’s completed. Rather than opening Word to the general start screen, and then opening the file, you can automatically open the last document you were working on.

To do this, we will create a separate shortcut with a special switch that will open the last document that was open in Word. If you already have a shortcut on your desktop for Word, create a copy of that shortcut.
If you don’t have a shortcut on the desktop, navigate to the following directory if you’re using Word 2013 in Windows 8.
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\WINWORD.EXE”
NOTE: Use “Program Files (x86)” in the path if you’re using a 32-bit version of Word on a 64-bit operating system. Otherwise, use “Program Files”.
Right-click on the WINWORD.EXE file and select Send to | Desktop (create shortcut).


Right-click on the new shortcut and select Properties.

In the Target edit box, put the cursor after the path currently there (preserving the quotes), and enter the following:
/mfile1
Click OK to save the change.

Change the title of the shortcut to indicate it will open the last opened document.


If you want to setup a shortcut to open other documents in the MRU (Most Recently Used) list, use a different number after “/mfile” in the Target edit box. For example, to open the next-to-last file you used, add “/mfile2” to the end of the command in the Target edit box.

Linuxfx 10 : A Windows-Like Linux Distro

The idea of Linuxfx is to make it easier for people who are migrating from Windows 7. People who are dissatisfied with the lack of security and stability of Windows 10 are also fit for Linuxfx. LinuxFX Desktop : Apart from Windows-like looks, Linuxfx also has more to offer which a regular user will definitely admire. So, let’s get along with me to know more about Windows alternative Linuxfx. As usual, I started by downloading the ISO image of Linuxfx from the official site  here . Then, instead of dual-booting, I decided to install it on my VirtualBox to play safely. After finishing the basic configuration, as soon as I booted it, I noticed a Windows logo and system integrity check. That’s quite surprising because every Linux distro puts their own or OEM logo on that place. But I think Linuxfx wants to make migrating users feel like home from the beginning. Entering the boot menu, Linuxfx redirected and logged in to a live session. Whoah! it can also detect the system I’m using — a...

Share Registry Editor Favorite Keys Across Computers

if you spend a lot of time inside your registry editor, you might already know that you can use the Favorites feature to add in a bookmark to a specific key in the registry, saving you immense amounts of time when you need to check a bunch of different keys. But did you think about exporting that list so you can use it on any computer? Here’s the menu I’m talking about: For instance, here I’m adding in a favorite for the local machine’s Run key, used to launch applications across all users. Now when I use the menu item, it will navigate me instantly to that key in the registry, no matter where I currently am. As I added a few favorites, it occurred to me that I should figure out where those menu items are being stored… Now browse down to this registry key to find the favorites list: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites And there’s the favorite we just saved… so how does this help you? If you export this r...
