Windows 7: Wordpad has Open Office Support

Unaware that I had forgotten to install OpenOffice.org I clicked away at one of my .odt files and was surprised to find out that Windows 7 Wordpad rendered it.

While the file was not rendered perfectly it was still quite viewable and it was refreshing to see Microsoft supporting OpenDocument.

Windows 7: Classic Control Panel

When I first saw the control panel in the new Windows 7 I looked for the ‘switch to classic view’ button which seemed to be missing. After poking around I found out how to list all the icons. Just choose ‘All Control Panel Icons’ from the drop down menu.

Now if only I could figure out the problem with my missing icons in the control panel and other places.
