do you ever change the "preferences" of any of your programs

I almost never change anything in the prefs unless is actively annoying me or impeding me. Wallpaper means shag all as I'm usually alttabbing between 3 full screen windows and sounds are just a big pain anyway. Word gets spelling and grammar autocorrect and highlighting wacked, Visual Studio get its highlighting tweaked and that's it.

i change things. i put all the programs i use on a daily basis into the top level start menu (why is explorer, for instance, in a third level menu?) and i just hate the way that word defaults to capitalising the first letters of sentences (bad when writing documentation containing code)

oh and i must have 'set ts=4' and 'set sw=4' in my .vimrc 8)

Oh yeah simple macros on BASH to do ls to "ls -F" etc. I'm a power-programmer and thus somehow NOT a power user. For example I do all my java and XML coding in wordpad, occasionally checking the XML with IE.

we're getting XP soon (and flat screens! yay!) and so the first thing I'm going to do is change the look to K-klassic.

I have really cool fonts on my window title bars.

What's happened to the ability to change the Mac OS X Menu fonts. It appears to have disappeared. I just had the urge to change to Helvetica Neue

i can't believe i didn't change my safari font to times new roman 12 a lot earlier.

If I had Safari set to Times New Roman 12, I couldn't even read anything onscreen!
