computer
i kinda like the navigation pane in windows 7. meaning, i use it. the navigation pane is the section on the left hand side of the desktop window with favorites, libraries, homegroup, computer, and network. well, i mostly like it. it's got one piece of stupidity. i usually have several remote drives mounted. and sometimes when i'm dragging a file from a desktop window to an editor, the cursor passes over one of these remote hard drives. and then everything stops. forever. well, not really. but it's many seconds. plenty long enough for my ire to be raised. i tried just closing it. but it doesn't stay closed. in fact, it kinda misbehaves. like sometimes it'll open a zillion folders down to god knows where. does it think it's being helpful? i frikken hate it when computers do that. just frikken do what i frikken tell you to do. AND NOTHING ELSE! frikken machine. needs to remember its place. anywho. i figgit. google is god. i followed
these instructions. heh. i'd have repeated them here. but gawd. regedit? really? don't ever tell me windows is soooo much better than eunix because it's got a gui and you don't have know any arcana to get it to do useful stuff.
