I'm looking to edit Drupal's admin pages. As example, something I'm trying to to remove is the the filter setting on the Content page/node/view. As an example, I'd like to do the following:

1. In other words, if I go to to the Content page and I filter by a certain type of node, then I leave that page, then come back, the filter setting is saved, I'd like it to reset each time I hit the Content page.

2. I would like to modify some of links associated with these pages, as an example on that Same Content page, the titles of the pages are linked to their 'front-end' views, I'd rather have them link to their 'edit' screens.
