This is kind of cool.

When you're in Microsoft Word if you press Alt+F8 a little window pops up. You can type in a name and a macro will be created. Now you can use Visual Basic code. On my school's computers you can only access certain programs like MS Publisher and MS Word (I think my school is obsessed with Microsoft).
Code:
Sub Test()
Shell "c:\windows\explorer.exe"
End Sub
Now I can open any program I want. This opens Windows explorer... I'm sure there are many creative things you can do with the macro feature.

I'm not sure how many people know about this. If you know any other things like this; feel free to post them here. I love little tricks that are simple but useful .
