Micromanaging OS X

From http://secrets.blacktree.com/, a big database of hidden preferences.

Following switches show full path in Finder, status bar in Safari, genre in iTune browser, and iTunes arrows link to library instead of iTMS:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle 1
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowStatusBar 1
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-genre-when-browsing 1
defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks 1

Following switch causes the otherwise-excellent GrowlTunes to skip the menubar icon:

defaults write com.growl.growltunes GrowlTunesWithoutMenu 1
