It came as quite a suprise when LyteByte’s Icon (Favicon) was featured in the Smashing Magazine today.

These are formed by the characters L and B. Small b is inside the L and they were turned upside down to form the number 97 but later I turned the angle to give an arrow look.

I was always inspired by blogs which have very unique Icons and hence it motivated me to design this favicon earlier this year. You can also see my earlier designs I thought of and have used.

You can also read how to create a simple favicon by yourself.

Thanks to Smashing Magazine for featuring LyteByte’s favicon.

Long back I wrote an article on how to remove or highlight duplicates in Excel 2007? Though this option is much visible in Excel 2007, it is also possible in Excel 2003 with simple steps which are hidden inside. Also many have been looking for this option in Office 2003.

So, how to remove duplicates in Excel 2003?

Select the row or column that has duplicates that you would like to remove.

Go to Data -> Filter -> Advanced Filter.

Make sure the range is correct and check the option “unique records only“.

You can either choose to replace the content or copy unique records to a new location.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had to run a command as Administrator in Vista. First I was looking if I can access Administrator account from the login welcome screen but unfortunately it is hidden. But you can enable with a simple tweak to show the Administrator account in the welcome screen.

So, how to login as Administrator in Vista from Welcome screen?

To enable this, you must enter the following command in the administrator mode. Type cmd in the Vista Start Run box and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter [See earlier post for more info: How to Run as Administrator in Vista Command Line]

The easiest way is to use the type cmd in the Vista Start Run box and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter instead of just pressing Enter. This will open the Command Prompt in Administrator mode.

 In Windows Vista, when you connect to a wireless network for the first time, you can save those credentials so that it can connect to the same network automatically if available. But sometimes, if you have access to multiple wireless networks, you may want to change the priority in which it connects to different wireless networks.

So, lets see how to change the wireless network priority?

First to see the current list of Wireless Network that Vista has already stored,

Click the Network Status icon in the taskbar tray and click Network and Sharing Center.

Note: If you are not able to see the Network Status Icon in the taskbar tray, go to Start –> Control Panel –> Network and Internet –> Network and Sharing Center.

On the left side Tasks lists of the Network and Sharing Center, click Manage Wireless Networks.

Now under Manage Wireless Networks, all the Wireless Networks that has been accessed so far will be listed. The new network that is connected last will be listed on the top.

To change the priority of the Wireless Network, click the network name and use Move Up or Move Down button to change the order of the Wireless Networks.
