Save things in a cookie to remember, and get a slap in the face

The good old Danish word “Huskekage” is not used enough. It means more or less freely translated remembering cake, meaning “to get a slap in the face – so you’ll remember”.

Apparently Føtex is handing out face slaps at a low low price of DKK 15 these days. So hurry up while supply lasts!

I’m considering setting up a specialized javascript called “huskekage.js” which allows you to store information in a cookie and recalling/remembering it by doing a webservice oriented ajax request for a slap-in-the-face delivered by a worldwide 24×7 response team of willing slappers and information bringers. Venture capital anyone?

Wierd Win7 problem with the Quick Launch bar

Anyone know how to solve this weird problem I have with the quick launch bar in Win7?

Annoying Win7 quick launch problem with IExplorer icon missing...

All of sudden the quick launch bar has started to forget which icon to show for IExplorer. It just show a default application icon instead. The context menu works fine, it’s just the icon that is displayed wrong.

To fix it, I unpin IExplorer and re-pin IExplorer through the Start menu. This solves the issues for some time but it always goes back to the default app icon eventually.

This is really, really, REALLY annoying. Any help, clues, hints and/or pointers in the right direction for a solution would be appreciated.
