My go to program to open any file that is unrecognizable in Windows is notepad. If the file happens to contain any readable text then you can at least get an idea what the file is.

To open any Windows file in notepad you can

1) right click the file
2) Choose "Open With"
3) and click Notepad (or browse for "notepad.exe")
4) Make sure to uncheck "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" if you do not want this program to become program to open any file with the same file type.

However if you forget to deselect the option "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" (as I often do) then Notepad will ever be associated with any file of the same type of file extension.

Windows 7 does not have any easy way to delete a file association once you set one up (you can only change it to a different program), however the below workaround should resolve the issue:

• Right click on your desktop, select new->new text document
  
• Rename the text document to "test.exe".
  
• Locate in explorer file you need to remove the file association for and right click on the file and choose "open with" and select "Choose default program".
  
• Now, you will get a list of program to choose from, click on "Browse.." at the bottom of the list.
  
• Navigate to desktop and choose "test.exe".
  
• Now, the file files would be associated with the "test.exe" program.
  
• Delete the "test.exe" file you created in the desktop. Now, the file should not be associated with any program.

If saying "OK Google" or "hey Google" is no longer opening Google Assistant on your Android phone try turning off "battery saver" in the top notification area of your phone.

We need some tweaks to the header to hopefully make it easier on the eyes and hopefully easier to read... because who needs a big fat header anyways? Let us know what you think.

I think I found the best website for historical exchange rates. Before finding this site I would rely on Oanda and/or even usforex.com, however, it seems those choices have gotten worst rather than better for providing historical data that is easily exportable into excel.

Bank of England provides a tool that provides historical fx rates based on the dates you enter for all countries. You can then click on a country to get even more detailed historical data that is exportable to excel and other formats.

From time to time I run into an issue where for some reason the default styles in an excel workbook get corrupted and I unable to add or remove decimal places from cells even by using the standard ->Format Cells->Number or Account->Decimal places drop down. I found an easy to resolve this would be to import the spreadsheet into Google Sheets ( https://docs.google.com ). Doing this may remove some intentional formatting but it will also should fix the issue with default styles not working.

In Google Sheets:
Upload from Excel to Google Sheets ->File->Open-> Upload

Export file from Google Sheets to Excel : File->Download As...->Microsoft Excel
