Forum and other site?
Hi Forum,
This may sound like a strange question, but my computer crashed and I have lost all of my "favorites." I am looking for a way to get to this site with out having to go through all of the groups. I am also looking for a way to not have all of the "Extras" that this screen has on it ie. the list of the forums on the left, the "Search for:" ____ "in:" at the top, etc. It may be I am in the wrong place to begin with, but it sure looks the same as where I was before. Is it possible ther is a similar web site? Could it be a "Group," as opposed to a forum? Sure wish my system had not crashed, but oh well. Thanks in advance. -- David |

Thanks Nick. I am accessing the web site using IE. I have done this before
thru IE, so Iknow it can be done. I think it is just a matter of coming up with the right Http. if I am in the right place to begin with, lol. "NickHK" wrote: David, Use Outlook Express instead.

David,
That's why I said to use Outlook Express as it is much better than using a browser on the web based version. NickHK "David" wrote in message ... Hi Nick.

Hi
the way I do it (if I have to use the web interface): Copy the shortcut of one forum and insert it directly in the url textbox of IE. e.g http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...el.programming BUT as ick has stated: Try to use a real newsreader instead. Much easier to use unless of course you'e not allowed to access NG directly) "David" wrote: Hi Forum, This may sound like a strange question, but my computer crashed and I have lost all of my "favorites."

Thanks Frank. This is so much closer to what I am looking for, especially
copared to the other answers. Has this site changed in the last couple of weeks?

MS has a couple of different interfaces.
But I bet Frank wants you to dump the web interface completely. (I would, too!) Saved from a previous post: If you have Outlook Express installed, try clicking on these links (or copy and paste into MSIE). news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ic.excel.setup news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.excel.misc news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...heet.functions news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...excel.newusers news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...el.programming (and a few more for MSWord) news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....docmanagement news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...word.word97vba news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....word.newusers news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ord.pagelayout news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ord.vba.addins news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vba.beginners news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....customization news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rd.vba.general news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vba.userforms news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....word6-7macros (You can always connect to more later) Here are some links that explain it better: Chip Pearson has some notes written by Leonard Meads at: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DirectConnect.htm David McRitchie's notes at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/xlnews.htm http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/oe6.htm http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/oe6nws01.htm Tushar Mehta's notes at: http://www.tushar-mehta.com/misc_tut...e_ng/index.htm And if you're looking for old posts: Or you can use google (maybe a few hours behind) to search for stuff you've posted (and find the replies, too) http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search http://groups.google.com/advanced_gr...Excel*&num=100 Ron de Bruin has an excel addin that you may like: http://www.rondebruin.nl/Google.htm David wrote: Thanks Frank.
