I occassionally manage to invoke Front Row on my MacBook without intending to, usually because I use keyboard shortcuts liberally. A great shortcut is Command-` (that's a backtick), which lets you cycle through all windows for the current application. The ` character is uncomfortably close to the "Escape" key, and wouldn't you know, Command-Esc turns on Front Row...

So how do you turn that off? Front Row isn't a regular app, so where do you look? Where's the "Preferences" menu? How the heck is it invoked?

It turns out there's a setting (buried under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts) that will let you disable (or change) the "hide/show Front Row" setting. I'm fine to disable it because the remote still works and that's plenty good for me.
