Restore Panels In Ubuntu Back To Their Default Settings

By
Messed up your panels in Gnome?

Maybe your new to Ubuntu and accidentally deleted items or the panel itself and now you can't figure out how to get it back.

Sure, you can add a new panel and rebuild it by adding the items back on the panel.
Instead of going through the trouble, there is an easy fix that will restore your panels back to their default settings quickly.

Open up a Terminal window, by clicking on Applications \ Accessories \ Terminal. Or, if you deleted the top panel and cannot access the menus, just press ALT+F2 and in the run dialog box, type gnome-terminal then click on Run.

You can also browse for applications, such as Terminal from the Run window, by clicking on the arrow icon next to 'Show list of known applications" and browse for Terminal.

Once the Terminal window opens, enter the following command at the prompt:
gconftool-2 – -shutdown
(Note: There should be no spaces between the two dashes before shutdown.)

gconftool – -recursive-unset /apps/panel
(Remember: There should be no spaces between the two dashes before shutdown.)

Then enter the next command:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

And enter one more command:
pkill gnome-panel



Both top and bottom panels will appear (if missing) with their default settings. Now you can customize them to your preference and get on with using Ubuntu.

Word to PDF Convertor

By
 A Word document may be easily converted to a PDF file However, what happens if you need to convert a ton of Word files into PDFs? It will take a long time to open every file by hand and save it to PDF.  You may quickly and easily convert large amounts of Word to PDF with the help of this method. And without utilizing any outside tools either. Ms. Word is all you need. Copy the following code into Notepad or Notepad++, then save the file as "PDF.js" in a folder var obj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var docPath = WScript.Arguments(0); docPath = obj.GetAbsolutePathName(docPath); var pdfPath = docPath.replace(/\.doc[^.]*$/, ".pdf"); var objWord = null; try {     objWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");     objWord.Visible = false;     var objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(docPath);     var format = 17;     objDoc.SaveAs(pdfPath, format);     objDoc.Close();     WScript.Echo("Saving '" + docPath + "'
