Not specifically related to attachments but I can highly recommend immediately adding a cc (or bcc) recipient of 'xxxx' when composing a new email. This helps to prevent accidental sending of the email before you're ready to send it (because 'xxxx' won't resolve to a valid entry in your address book). Remove 'xxxx'…

Not impressed with the install process. It attempts, but fails hopelessly, to install Microsoft SQL Server desktop engine. Why would a media player require a SQL server database, anyway?

That web-site is a classic example of why marketing is so important. There's no point in your opening gambit being "it converts an image file into numbers". What on earth does that mean? What does it do for me? In what situation would this be useful? Why should I bother to download it? Some examples would be…

The notion of using a web site for a wake-up call seems pointless to me (use your cell phone or your alarm clock!) but it does also offer broadcasts (reach a group of people by making just one call) which is useful (though not exactly novel).

This is a slick program. I generally use it as an all-purpose repository for web content, email content, phone numbers, and ad hoc notes. Especially useful for things that I might need access to somewhere down the road or that I don't have time to deal with right now but don't want to lose. Integrates nicely with…

@LastVigilante: There are anumber of caps lock indicators out there. For example Clever Keyboard Indicator

Anyone who goes anywhere near Unix simply has to know vi. It's a pre-requisite. Not because it's particularly brilliant (it's not), or easy to use (it's not), or highly capable (it's not). But simply because Unix is so pleased with itself in retaining its archaic complexity that you simply cannot do your job…

Can't you use IconPackager to make widescale icon changes?

Without wanting to be a Microsoft apologist (God knows, I hate their Office products with a passion), I can't help but think that some information about a configuration option or setting or registry tweak may be missing here and when we find out what it is then the behavior here might make sense.

When will all these GTD people stop revealing the completely obvious so that we actually can get something done?

Impressive but why?

@mistshadow2k4: Amen, brother. Even if the Norton or McAfee programs were free, I would not use them.

Or run multiple commands with & or && between them, such as zip -pr [backup.zip] src && rd /s /q obj

Haven't tried SVS yet but I can report success using sandboxie for a number of things beyond just safer web browsing.

@monkeyboy: *None* of my US-based accounts require more than an a/c name and password. Not one of them. And I have numerous. And given that you now know my name and my favorite phrase it won't take you long to break into them — forewarned, however, that each has less than $3- in it ;-)

US banking websites are generally pretty poor compared to European ones. In the US if you have the a/c name and password then you're in. In Europe you are typically asked to provide that info *plus* 3 random characters from a pre-configured phrase.

This works better than I thought it would. It allows you to focus on one (or more) application windows while everything else is dimmed. Quite effective, I have to say. I have bgcolor 000000, no show in taskbar, 200 transparency.

While the crash recovery feature does not always work for me, IE7Pro does maintain a list of recently-opened tabs which is useful. It also allows you to save a page as a JPG/PNG which is sometimes useful.

This happens to me all the time, primarily with Borland products which have non-standard (downright weird) windowing. A quick Alt+Tab to the window and then Alt+Space, M (for move) and then cursor left and up until the window comes back into view, then press Enter.

@baccula: I believe that the "Add minimized to tray windows at end of ALT TAB list" option adds those tasks that TaskSwitchXP itself minimzed to the tray, not those that move themselves to the tray.
