Remove shop for music menu item in windows 7

I have checklist for services to turn off and things to do right after reinstalling operating system, but one thing I always forget to do is remove that annoying "Shop for music Online" in right click context menu.

If you need solution, its to save this as reg file (ex. "shop.reg") and run it:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\Directory.Audio\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WMPShopMusic]

Blizzard Entertainment departments do not communicate among each other

Update (April 2nd 2014): I communicated to Blizzard Entertainment CS Department on Twitter as well, and they are just as incompetent there. They want all their customers using real names with RealID system. Sure, I have no problem with that. But then they have all their employees hiding like cowards behind ridiculous handles while abusing paying customers.

My issue was simple. I did not earn a forum ban, I simply wanted somebody to look into it and tell me why I received no email stating what was the issue. Instead of looking into it I got no less than SEVEN representatives of Blizzard Customer Support to give me DIFFERENT emails that I should email. That is RIDICULOUS behavior! They all claim they are powerless to do anything. So, apparently Blizzard employs all these incompetents, gives them limited power, and wastes everybody's time. They got just over $500 from me in last month (two accounts), somewhere in vicinity of $6000 over past decade (family accounts for WoW, half of which had subs being paid with no time actually spent using them for several years), and now I'll find different company to throw money at as I lost all faith and confidence in Blizzard Entertainment following this streak of incompetence on behalf of their employees.

Just received this as response to my CS ticket complaint about my forum account on Hearthstone getting suspended with no cause given (btw, took them TWO days to answer, and they probably broke record in doing so):

Blizzard Entertainment wins in the "The WORST Customer Support" category

I apparently just got banned from Blizzard's Forum.

I do not know for what exactly, nor for how long. No email was sent to me, no message of any kind.

Customer support response times are about THREE DAYS. So forget asking them.

For Gaming Company they sure allow ton of hate filled against them posts to remain. My posts were actually all Pro Blizzard. Which is why this is ridiculous.

The way I found out is by trying to post. Instead of posting it just stated 'Account Suspended". That is the lamest ban I have ever got from any forum in about 30 years of posting on Bulletin Board Systems, MUD's and after Internet became popular, Internet.

From company I gave around $500 this month alone and who I always spoke positively about.

Thanks for opening my eyes about you Blizzard.

How to share individual photos via link from Google Plus photo album

1. Click on your image

2. Open it full screen

3. Right click it and select "Copy Image URL"

One would expect simpler solution, but after messing with it for a while this is only one that worked when I tried to link image to a forum.

IMAP vs POP3: Which is better?

I was trying to explain difference to somebody, then found this video on YouTube that explained it better than I could in a rush on the spot. So I figured I'd share. Cheers.

Btw, IMAP is far better for me and I would suggest it for most people as POP3 can result in lost emails that cannot be recovered.

IMGBURN and how to get rid of adware in its installer

Download Imgburn here:
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

Do NOT run that exe.

Instead, get 7zip here:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Then use 7zip to extract Imgburn setup. Delete plugins folder from that (its just malware), and there goes all the adware.

Its sad how low some people sink just to make few bucks.
