Well, if at all you come across a situation where you don’t have MS Powerpoint or Powerpoint viewer installed on a machine then here are some of the ways through which you can easily view that PPT file, which you thought wasn’t possible without Powerpoint or powerpoint viewer :
1. GMail : Send that file as attachment to yourself and you’ll see the option of viewing that file over the internet. Apart from that it gives you the option of importing the attachment in Google docs too.
2. Scribd : One of the best service when it comes to document sharing. You can use this service to upload the presentation file and it will show you the exact presentation in a way that you won’t miss your powerpoint at any point of time.

Everyone gets familiar or used to certain stuff in life and if you are a regular computer user like me then I’m sure you would even prefer the desktop icons at specific locations. For e.g. I prefer that Recycle bin should be placed exactly below Internet Explorer, like we used to have it in the Win 9x series.
Anyway, DesktopOK is one such utility which helps those people who love to see specific icons at specific places. Even if you change the resolution, the icons won’t leave their place.
This small utility doesn’t require any installation. Just download it, extract it and run it and guess what you won’t even need to shell out enough space from your computer’s hard disk as well! It’s a very small utility and just takes around 34 Kb of space, even a document file is larger than that (heh)!
