How to Create Multiple Windows for Excel Documents
Do you often find yourself working on multiple Excel documents at the same time? Instead of having to switch back and forth between tabs in one Excel window, you can create multiple windows for each Excel document.
First, open the Excel documents you want to view simultaneously. Then, right-click on the Excel icon in your taskbar and select “Microsoft Excel” instead of the individual documents. This will open a new instance of Excel. Next, drag and drop the individual Excel documents onto the new Excel window. You can now view and work on each document in separate windows!
How to Retrieve Passwords for Connected Wi-Fi Networks
Have you ever forgotten the password for a Wi-Fi network you connected to in the past? Fear not, as you can easily retrieve the password using the Command Prompt in Windows.
First, open the Command Prompt by searching for “cmd” in the Windows search bar. Once opened, type “netsh wlan show profile” and press enter. This will display the Wi-Fi networks you have previously connected to. Next, select the network you want to retrieve the password for and type “netsh wlan show profile [network name] key=clear” and press enter. This will display the password for the selected network under “Key Content”.
