I've added a new script to my collection of Windows scripts that will disable the useless Windows file association web service dialog. Instead of being prompted to "Use the web service to find the appropriate program" when you try to open a file with an unknown extension, Windows will go straight to the Choose Program dialog -- saving you approximately 7 minutes per day!
Download my collection of Windows scripts here. The collection also includes scripts to disable simple file sharing and to disable hiding file extensions for known types.
Following the Wall Street Journal report that Best Buy is seeking to eliminate the least profitable 20% of it's customer base, Dell is running a new ad that hammers Best Buy on the issue. It's a pretty clever ad and my favorate part is the URL www.dell.com/bestbye. Maybe corporate attack ads will be replacing all the political attack ads we grew so accustomed to this year.
