Knitted Skull and Crossbones Cloth

I found a pattern for a Knitted Skull and Crossbones Cloth on the web, by Rhonda K. White. Here’s a link for you:

As you can see, the image is broken so you don’t know what the dishcloth actually looks like. So I’ve taken a picture of mine with the hopes that it might be useful to someone else. It’s a little hard to see since I use a much bigger size needle than recommended, and the gradient doesn’t help, but it’s better than no picture at all.

Editing New, Send To, and Other Windows Vista Context Menus

It took me a bit to scour the internet and find all the information I needed to get rid of annoying extra items in my Windows Vista context menus. Of ultimate annoyance were the “Send To” and “New” menus.

Many sites weren’t of any help at all, and some replies to this question on forums were met with, “Uninstall the program”, which is perhaps the stupidest answer of all.

So here’s the resources I finally used, so you don’t need to look anymore.

Removing “Send To” Entries:
Customize the Windows Vista Send To Menu - Simple, easy, and won’t break your computer.

Removing “New” Entries:
Clear Unwanted Entries from Explorer’s New Menu - For the more advanced only! You’ll have to edit your registry for this, but it’s relatively straightforward.

General Menu Customization
Fast Explorer - For the more advanced only! It was useful for getting rid of one of my general context menus that popped up on any file or folder I clicked for an archive program I used.
