[en] How to remove ATI Catalyst from desktop right click menu

To remove the above I found a very good link here, where it says:

Removing the ATI Catalyst context-menu entry

  • Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ Background \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers

  • One of the sub-keys is the entry added by ATI software. (Usually named ACE)
  • Select the ACE sub-key, and then backup the key by exporting it
  • Delete the ACE entry, and close Regedit.exe

The only handler present by default (in a clean XP installation) is the New handler. If you find any additional sub-keys there, it may have be added by third-party applications. Usually, the software that comes with your graphic card adds entries to the above location.

[en] Mobile sound formats

So I downloaded a sound clip (in .amr format) from a Nokia 6230i phone and expected to be able to play it on my pc. Great was my dissapointment when this was not the case.
Having surfed around for a free converter I found Mobile AMR converter which is able to perform amr to wav, but not to mp3. This sufficient though, as a further conversion can be performed with for instance Audacity .

[en] Useful programs

Following the thread laid out earlier in this blog, I want to list two programs that I have found very useful, and would like to recommend:
  • YPOPs! -(Link 1, Link 2) A program which makes it possible to download mail from your Yahoo! email account to a email client such as Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Outlook, Outlook express etc. [Windows]
  • StartupRun - A program which makes it possible for you to control which programs/processes start up when you boot your computer. Very userful if you want a faster boot time. [Windows]
  • Photo Crop Mechanics - Eitt forrit at skera digital myndir til við so at tær fara frá 3:4 (10x13cm) formati til at tað góða gamla vælkenda (og betri) 2:3 (10x15cm) formatið. Alternativ 1 - Alternativ 2 .
