Have two separate instances of Excel!

My work revolves around Excel and with my dual monitor setup it makes it a hell of alot more productive if i can have one Excel instance open on one monitor and the next on the other monitor.

But Excel always opens your second document as a worksheet of the first one and you can thus not seperate them and drag one to the extended montitor.

I found a blog on online tech tips that explains how to make two seperate excel instances possible and it works like a bomb.

Simply download THIS file. Extract it on your PC and run the file "Add Open In New Excel Instance.bat"

After this registry file has been applied you will be able to right click on any Excel file and select "Open in New Excel Instance" and you will have two seperate Excel instances!

Enjoy

StartClock - Free Optimization Tool

Convert your Windows start button into a clock with StartClock. StartClock is a small portable utility that can change the normally useless Windows start button into a clock, the start button is too small to display anything but the time however if hover your mouse over it StartClock will display info like the day, month, year,Etc. In order to access the Windows calendar (if you decide to get rid of the standard Windows clock for this app) just double click StartClock's system tray icon. StartClock works pretty well and only used between 1 to 5MB in my system so give it a try if you want a different way of checking the time in Windows. Available for all Windows versions.
