Nice article, thanks! I like the "Skip the Annoying "Use the Web service to find the correct program" Dialog" trick.

The tip about shaking a window to minimise others is a curious bit of trivia I didn't know. Can't see it being particularly useful in practice, though. :)

You are welcome! Glad you found it useful. I am using several hacks from that article, including the autologin one, the Open with Notepad++ context menu item, and the automatic cleaning of the page cache file upon shutdown.
