So Who’s On Facebook Because of You?

Facebook now displays detailed invite history to all their users.


1. If you would like to know who all have joined Facebook because of you, go here.

2. If you would like to see a list of all people whom you have invited to join Facebook but they are yet to accept your invitation, go here.

3. If you like to know who in your friends circle has brought the maximum number of people to Facebook so far, go to facebook.com/impact.

The Facebook Invites history page also gives an option to send email reminders to friends who are yet to join the social site incase your previous invites went unnoticed or if they landed in the junk folder.

Copy a File’s Path to the Clipboard

Copy a File’s Path to the Clipboard without any Registry Hacks !

If you ever wanted to copy the full path of any file or folder to the clipboard but without installing any third-party utilities or making any changes to your Windows registry, here’s a tip for you.


Copy the File’s Location to the Clipboard

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the file or folder whose path you want to copy to the clipboard. Once you are there, hold the “Shift” key and right click that file or folder’s icon.

Because the Shift key is down, the contextual menu will have a new item that says “Copy as Path” – select that and the full location of the file or the folder will get saved to your clipboard from where you can paste it anywhere including the DOS window.

You can use this tip to copy a file’s location from all places including those appearing in the desktop search results.

This trick works in Windows Vista and Windows 7 but not XP.

Office 2010 PowerPoint Viewer

PowerPoint Viewer for People Who Don’t Have Office 2010

PowerPoint Viewer, as you probably know, is a free application that lets you view PowerPoint presentations on your computer even if you don’t have Microsoft Office installed on your computer.


Microsoft Office 2010 team released a new version of their PowerPoint Viewer that’s much like its predecessor except that it also supports the new PowerPoint 2010 file format.

The PowerPoint viewer can play the new transitions and video effects that were introduced in Office 2010 but if you embedded a web video in your presentations, that won’t play through the standalone viewer.

Also, the PowerPoint Viewer requires installation – had it been a portable utility, you could just copy the presentation and the viewer on a USB drive and deliver presentations on any Windows computer.
