Thanks for that section on customizing the Ribbon. I have Office 2010, and followed the example to add a group with the New command to the Home tab in Word. However it opens the new document without giving you a choice of template, as with New on Word’s File tab. Is there any way to get the custom ribbon command to work like New on the File tab?

I think Kodak Gallery is good, myself.
I switched to Kodak Gallery when yahoo eliminated Yahoo Photos a few years ago, which I thought was great, and inflicted flickr instead, which I disliked altogether.
Nice capability for creating albums, sharing by email, viewing photos as slideshows, etc.
Of course they hope to sell you prints, album books, calendars, etc.
Quality of these is excellent in my occasional experience.

Hello,
I value Windows Secrets and found the Windows XP top story very interesting. However I too was struck by the omission of any mention of Windows 2000 and signed in here to comment. I see several others have beat me to it! The first computer I ever bought for myself was a Gateway Solo notebook (then regarded as one of the best) which shipped with then brand new Windows 2000 Professional. I thought Win2000 was excellent and appreciated it both as a profesional developer and a personal computer user. Win 2000 was the first OS with power management – a big advantage for notebook PCs – and also a built-in disk backup tool, and many other neat things. I still use that computer occasionally for old times’ sake, and to make sure it still runs OK. The second computer I ever bought was a 2008 Macbook and I doubt that I will ever buy another Windows PC again! The Gateway still runs Win2000 SP4 and will do so until it decides not to run anymore.
