I'm using gnome-shell with Ubuntu 11.10. At the left edge there is menu with icons. Where can I edit the command that is launched after clicking them? For example, there is gvim icon and I want it to start with -geometry flag. I assume it is in some config file, but where?
To add startup arguments you have to modify the Exec parameter of the .desktop file. The gvim.desktop file is in
/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop
Add the arguments you need to the line.
Exec=gvim -f %F
This will affect all users on your system. If you want a custom launcher file you can create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.

I was wondering how I could see the actions that are done on my computer but on my cmd prompt.
For example: Imagine I click on the shortcut Google Chrome on my desktop, then this will appear on my cmd prompt (or anywhere else):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe
modulo the - and -- arguments but that was just for the example.
Thanks!
Try Process Monitor (also called ProcMon), filtered on ProcessCreate. It'll list every process that gets created, along with the arguments and lots of other useful information.

Normally is when a file named with your username is created. You need just to delete it and it'll be ok. It is located in your Users folder. Follow one of these links if you don't find its location: first link and second link.

I want to get a list of all the file extensions that a windows machine will recognize as an executable.
I tried the following in command prompt:
echo %PATHEXT%
But all I got from that is:
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
Which is not a complete list. It's missing things like:
.SCR;.REG;.VB;.VBSCRIPT
and so on.
If the extension is not in %PATHEXT%, then there is no association. If you just type the.vbs at the command line, you will be informed of same.
If you type cscript the.vbs, then the script will run; assuming cscript.exe is somewhere in the PATH variable.
In short, files such as .SCR;.REG;.VB;.VBSCRIPT are not actually executable. It is the association that is used to know which executable can run them.

All my .bat files are opening automatically in notepad. Anyone know what kind of file I need to associate it? I tried to associate to "Windows command processor", but it only opened the "command-prompt", and didn't execute it.
Try removing the .bat file association in the registry. See this link for more details.
You should just be able to remove the "UserChoice" sub-folder.

I have realized that when I log out from the computer, the Command Prompt history gets deleted (or at least when I press the arrow keys (or F7) nothing appears. How I can set the command promt to not to delete my command history.
There isn't an option to do so. However, you can use clink which has that feature (although it comes with readline-style line editing and several other bash-isms that might not be wanted or needed).
