Coding Snacks
I liked the types of programs you have for download (I grabbed Process Tamer, Desktop Corral, Screenshot Captor, and System Path Commander) and I *love* the coding snacks concept. I will definitely be taking advantage of it. Finally, I like the idea that the amount of donation is entirely up to me..

Do you hate AutoPlay? I Do.

This little tip will show you how to turn it off.

AutoPlay is one of those things that tries to be smart and figure out what to do when you insert a cd or removable drive.  It will scan the drive (or cd) and run whatever installer is on the cd, or if its a removable usb drive it will pop up a dialog and start scanning the drive to try to guess what you might want to do with the drive.  Guess what? It's my drive, I think I know what i want to do with it thank you very much.  If i want a clippy artificial intelligence on my computer i'll install this.
