Paste Email 2.1.2

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1063

"I've often wished that there was a function key I could press that would paste my email address wherever I needed it. Now I can do it with one or two clicks."

And it doesn't have to be an email address - it can be any word or phrase you regularly type.

It's gggggrrrreeeeeeeeeeat!!!!!!


And WOT - like SiteAdvisor without McAfee

Thanks, all you guys are great and very helpful indeed.

This is much information though.

I better go take a nap now to let the new information to sink in my brain. 🙂

Edit - And won't so many add-ons slow down your browser? I've always wondered about that.

In answer to your original question: [This works for XP]

These steps will remove any password set in the Internet Explorer Content advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.


Click on Start and choose Run.

Type in RegEdit and select OK.

Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.

Now click on the Ratings folder.

In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.

Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.

Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.

Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, Internet Options.

Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.



You can then use Internet Explorer if you ever have to - preferably not too often. 🙁
