IE vs Firefox – Registry Entries

2008-08-24

Below is a registry key that can be used for at least Windows XP to determine which browser has been selected as the default browser. I used it in my Perfect Keyboard macros to create an entry on my Launch Browser menu that would be aware of the current user choice.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet]
@=”FIREFOX.EXE”

— vs ———————————————

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet]
@=”IEXPLORE.EXE”

I’ll bet that this registry entry has been present in previous versions of Windows also.


Tags vs Categories

2008-08-20

Seems I can have both tag and category clouds in WordPress, sweet! I know that tags can be sprinkled anywhere in posts, but what about categories? I see that categories can be hierarchical which tags cannot do by design.

I get a checkbox list of categories when creating a post. I’m putting this post in every category except “Uncategorized”

I have to enter tags manually, separating them with commas. I sure wish it could give me a list of my currently used tags. Perhaps I just haven’t found the list yet…   Ah, it has a type-ahead in the tag textbox for currently used tags, but you have to know the first letter of the tag. Better than nothing.

Tag Cloud

2008-08-20

I’d like my blog to have a tag cloud, but I just cannot figure out how to do it. I saw someone else’s blog using the Blix theme and it had a tag cloud. Perhaps a cloud is part of that theme…
