Bash Shell Case Insensitive

Edit /etc/inputrc and add the following line:
set completion-ignore-case on

Getting rid of Media Info from context menus

If a "Media Info" option appears in Windows Explorer context menus and you want to get rid of it, delete the following key from the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Media Info
(Original link for solution.)

This option in the menu is particularly annoying if you're using the keyboard to rename a file (pressing Menu, m). Instead of jumping to rename, it would select Media Info first.
