Want to set the default size and window location for Windows Explorer on Vista or later?
I've got a new monitor that is larger than my old one. When I would open Windows Explorer the first thing I would always do is resize it to larger size.
I found out you can set the default Explorer size and windows location by simply holding the SHIFT key down when closing the window. Presto!

Catch (Exception e): Right or wrong?
I've long heard that you shouldn't throw a type Exception in C#. I try to always throw a type derived from Exception.
In addition, I've also read many brief snippets over the years that says you shouldn't write C# code like:
catch(Exception e)
{
...
}
I recently read the best explanation of this in Microsoft's MSDN Magazine (Feb. 2009). The article is entitled Handling Corrupted State Exceptions and would highly recommend those programming in C# to read the full article. It also provides details about how exception handling will change a bit in .NET 4.0.
A read well worth it!
