Ever since I installed this updated version of ATI Catalyst Display drivers, i have been plagued by this terrible menace. The “ATI Catalyst Control Center” is the first item that pops up on my context menu. This can be really frustrating, especially for geeks who is so much adapted with the keystrokes for File>New.
Here’s a neat way to remove the item from the context menu for good.
Open regedit and goto
KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE
and remove the key named “ACE”. And voila… dilemma solved

YouTube now offers website publishers to create a custom video player and add their adsense code to deliver targeted ads atop the video being played. Web Publishers can also choose the category of video to be shown, or let Google automatically target ads based on the content. The text-based ads would be shown above the video player, which can also be customized to match the look and feel of the publisher’s website.

At the time of writing this post, this feature is available only for a select few registered YouTube users.
You’ll need to sign up for an AdSense account to start using Video Units.
