Whenever Windows XP or Vista run across a file type the system doesn't recognize (regardless of whether you do or not), the user is prompted with either selecting a program to open it or to "Use the Web service to find the correct program"—which has yet to work even once, at least for me. The How-To Geek shows how to disable this prompt and head straight to the program selector, using a quick registry hack.To disable the prompt, you could just head to the Geek's post and download a pre-compiled registry tweak. Those who don't mind a little fixin' can head to the following folder in RegEdit (or paste it into another editor like RegScanner:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorerThen create a new read more »

Windows only: Freeware application Elevator disables the User Account Control prompt for specific applications through your right-click menu, getting rid of the UAC annoyance for apps that require administrator privileges every time they run. We've shown you how to disable UAC entirely and how to disable UAC for specific apps before, but it required a little more sleeve-rolling than this simple right-click solution. Elevator is freeware, Windows Vista only; installation requires a little finesse, so be sure to read the instructions.

If blinking text on a web page (like in the comments here on Lifehacker) is threatening to give you a seizure—or just making your head hurt—you can disable it in Firefox with a simple configuration tweak. No extension or user script required: just type about:config in Firefox's address bar, press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button, and then in the Filter field, enter browser.blink_allowed. Change the value for that key from true to false, and you're good to go, no more blinking, ever again. Thanks, David! Disable Blinking Text in Firefox [Adamsdvds.co.uk]
