CHM Files & IE7 1.0

So you downloaded a CHM help file but it refuses to open/work properly, you get a message that makes no sense “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”. This is an unfortunate result of a change in behavior that Microsoft made in an effort to plug security holes. Fortunately, the “fix” is pretty simple -: right-mouse-button click on the .chm file, then select ‘Properties’, and under the item that says ‘Security’, click on the ‘Unblock’ option and click ‘OK’. This will confirm to Microsoft that you really wanted to open this file (as if they didn’t already know!). The same procedure can also be used on other files if you get unwanted Security Warnings.
FH solution – use Firefox ;-)
Our thanks to Rick, AKA RoboWizard, for this tip. Sorry we couldn’t link directly to your page, our DB didn’t like the composition of your link. Click on his “Grimoires” link folks, there’s lots more interesting stuff there!

KatMouse

The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering ‘universal’ scrolling. Moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is the default on Windows OSes). Another feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a recovered window the active window. Note: KatMouse does not work together with Logitech Mouseware.
