How about printer’s that pop up this huge splash screen or talk to you to tell you that they’re now printing? Yeah, the software _says_ you can disable that “feature,” but when you do, the printer stops working. :rolleyes:

And I’d _really_ to have control over _every_ confirmation dialog a program pops up. I _don’t_ need it asking me three times if I really want to delete a file. _Trust me_, I **do.** So let me such the dialog off, and delete in peace.
