Yep, but again, problem is I have to remember to right click.  I normally 
have so many windows open at the same time and so much stuff running, I dont 
want to have to remember "just one more thing".  I work with computers all 
day long so its nice to get home to a computer that is setup that I can just 
*use*.

The shortcuts/file associations/timeouts are some of the reasons why 3.7b 
wont work for me, if there was no time out, the other issues dont exist.

Cheers Dre
