Alot has been said concerning adaptive vs. adaptable interfaces. I think
my approch would be to use the adaptive approch to set the default action
and the user can choose it with little or no effort but ALLOW the user to override 
it at will, but he user should also be allowed to set the defaults as well.

That my humble opinion.
