"Insert" is always on in my Vista command prompt
When I start command prompt (cmd.exe) in my Vista Business 32-bit, it acts as if the Insert key was toggled, so whatever I type overwrites the characters under the cursor.

Windows 7 taskbar as sidebar, minimum width fixed

How can I force Windows 7 to REindex a folder?
I asked Windows 7 to index my entire "Media" folder. After it was done it'd find anything in there, no problem.

How to prevent Chrome from refreshing page when viewing source?

I use Google Chrome to view a 1178x5408 .svg file. It includes a lot of small "subgraphics" (screenshots of dialogs, connected by arrows .. think "wizard"), the whole thing is created by graphviz.

Google Chrome: Import/Export Passwords?
I recently migrated from Windows7 to Kubuntu 10.0.4. In many ways, I'm loving the change. (I never knew it could be such a seemless process to write/test scripts!)
