You might also find the following software useful:

• DefaultBrowserSwitcher - a taskbar tray application for Windows which allows you to quickly change the system default web browser, and see at a glance what the default currently is. Useful if you have to run IE at work and want to use Firefox on lunch break. You will need the .NET runtime. Now featured on Softpedia!
• Caps Lock to Control - a hack to change the Caps Lock key of your Windows system into a Control key, and reassign the Caps Lock function to the Scroll Lock key (who ever uses that?). To install: right click to download; change the extension from .reg.txt back to .reg, if your browser sanitized it for you; double click to load into your registry; reboot. To remove: look at the contents of the install file; find that key in your registry (regedit.exe); delete it out of the registry; reboot. Use this file at your own risk!! However, I have installed it safely numerous times, on both XP and 7.

BTW, in case you were wondering, I like to pronounce my first name like "WRATH-a" (sounds like "Kathy"). People regularly guess at it and come up with "RAH-tha" (sounds like "Roth IRA"), and I tend not to correct them because it's close enough.
