How to change your default web browser
To change these preferences, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Zoom. To quickly enable or disable Zoom using the Accessibility Shortcuts panel, press Option-Command-F5 (or if your Mac has Touch ID, quickly press Touch ID three times). How do I change the default zoom level for new documents in Excel 2016 for Mac? I looked online but found a lot of conflicting information. Also, most tutorials online seem to be for the 2011 version rather than the 2016 version. The default zoom is 100% but I'd like to change it to 150%.
- Make sure that the other web browser is installed.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General.
- Choose a web browser from the ”Default web browser” menu.
How to change your default email app
- Make sure that the other email app is installed. Although you might be able to use a web browser for email (webmail), a web browser isn't an email app.
- Open the Mail app.
- Choose Mail > Preferences, then click General.
- Choose an email app from the ”Default email reader” menu.
You might be prompted to add an email account before you can change the setting in Mail. If you don't want to do that, check the preferences of the other email app. You might be able to set a default email app from there.

Beware that disabling Lion's window animations (
defaults write -g NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false
) will cause some applications to freeze if you open the dictionary/thesaurus panel (control-command-D). Many of these preferences can be controlled by GUI using Marcel Bresink's TinkerTool.
Lot's of ways to find hidden features :D
As I say in the hint, Secrets hasn't been updated for Lion.

# Disable the “reopen windows when logging back in” option
# This works, although the checkbox will still appear to be checked.
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool false
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowLaunchesRelaunchApps -bool false
This alone justifies the hint!

Oh, wow! This works!
(Not trying to sound like I didn't think it would, but I'm very happy to finally make Lion a little less helpful.)
A million thank you's for posting this.

Change Defaults Os For Zoom On Mac With Parallels 7
Thanks for the link. I scanned the list and right away found one that will immediately be written:
# Copy email addresses as `[email protected]` instead of `Foo Bar <[email protected]>` in Mail.app
I hated doing a copy and then finding that I'd have to remove extraneous characters.
# Copy email addresses as `[email protected]` instead of `Foo Bar <[email protected]>` in Mail.app

Excellent hint. And remember: it's a git repository (with more useful stuff, just click on the name 'dotfile' on top), so it is maintained, and it can be updated. So check for differences from time to time: you can see what changes were made to this document using the 'history' tab in the top right corner of the document.
If you want to see most if not ALL the commands available via the command line check out CLIX from rixstep (it's free) and beyond value if you want to learn (the command line).

As always with this type of thing, remember that one reason a feature might be unadvertised is that it is insufficiently tested and maybe even known to break something.
