Application Tidbits

Microsoft Outlook
By default (it seems) Outlook doesn't mark a message read until you move onto the next message. To fix this, go to: Tools -> Options -> Other -> Preview Pane and select Mark messages as read in preview window and select a wait time of 0 seconds. This will tell Outlook to mark the message as read as soon as you click on it.
Windows Explorer
By default in Windows XP, when you're using the folder view, clicking on a directory in the left-hand pane will automatically open the contents. To turn this off, open a Windows Explorer window and de-select: Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Advanced Settings -> Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list.
grep
When using grep, the flag "-il" will show only files which match. The flag "-rq" will show only files which are different.
find
List all files matching a keyword: find . -exec grep -i vast {} \;
