Select Text Selects Other Stuff

You know how when you try to select some text in so many windows-based apps and by default the selection includes stuff like the following space or various code characters like " or < or all kinds of other stuff that you don't intend to get? This drives me nuts. Is there any way to shut this stupid "Smart" behaviour off system-wide? Like so many context-sensitive time-saving innovations this just ends up being a massive waste of time. Any idea how to SWIW: Select What I Want?
