any software you use everyday or little thigns that are just veryyyy helpful...... if u have a link that would be nice

Not very useful but it is my favorite: Mystic Island (software download to play cards online)

my most usefull programs: MS word :MS outlook :paint shop pro7: evidence elimnator is a nice program too that cleans up all kinds of temp files and so on(very configurable) : Drive image 5 is a must have.

Copernic, an excellent search engine that simultaneously searches several search engines, accurate, fast ^& has it's own browser should you require it & it also auto updates itself.

EDIT
WWW.Copernic.com freeware, unless you want a small advert turned off.

I have several programs that I like to run ...
AdAware - of course the best program around - http://www.lavasoft.nu/
PowerDefrag (Free Version)- which allows me to batch defrag all 4 hard drives (still looking for a program to batch scandisk the drives, lol) - http://www.powerdefrag.com/
ClipBoard Magic - allows multiple clipboard entries - http://www.cyber-matrix.com/clipmag.htm
EPrompter - which allows me and the kids to pick up mail from ALL our yahoo (and other) email accounts without having to sign in multiple times - http://www.eprompter.com/
MaxLister - lists the entire contents of a drive or a
directory into a single file - http://www.acc.umu.se/~max/maxlister/index.html
SpyBlocker 4.75 (which was the last freeware version) - blocks Ads, cookies, web bugs and more - http://personal.atl.bellsouth.net/mia/k/r/kryp/sb.htm
TClockEX - allows setup of personalized clock/date/time - http://users.mweb.co.za/d/da/dalen/tclockex.htm

All of these programs are freeware, and none of them take up a lot of space or system resources (I don't have much of EITHER, lol).

One neat little program that comes to my mind is "Volume Tray"
http://glorysoft.omsk.ru/volumetray.html
I use the hotkeys,Ctrl+Alt,Up/Down for volume and End for mute !
I just wish it could work in XP,works in 9x only.

One of my favorites is called WordWeb,it is a dictionary & thesaurus that is very small.It opens in it's own small window,and I use it a lot each day for one thing on another.Hope you check it out ,Tuff

http://www.wordweb.co.uk/free/

Tuff,
Thanks for that one. Very good little program.

Your very welcome Horatio ,glad you like it ,Tuff

Nice to see Copernic get a mention.. great program for sure!


I would have to say that the best free program i have ever used is Infanveiw.

Best pay program would have to be my little XING audio package. Has a great ripper for MP3 and the player is loads better than Winamp.


t_bare

I think you mean Irfanview.

Shelly

That too.

Thanks Shelly.


t_bare

Shelly,is that sort of the old saying,I before E,except after C ?Most of the time it is true,some names etc.it doesn't .But on old Irfan it does lol,Tuff

Yes, and Irfan is the guy's name the guy's name who created the program while a student at the university in Vienna.

Shelly

Hi Tuff,

What you were trying to say,was: I before E except after C.We live in a WEIRD SOCIETY!

Cheers,

Kiwitas

KIWITAS

Yep there are exceptions,I pointed that same word out to a teacher once ,Tuff

One program that I'd never be without is GoBack. It doesn't qualify as a program that I use every day of course but it certainly qualifies as VERY useful when you need it!

Best value game?

Unreal tournament, still playing after nearly 3 years!

Unreal 2\Unreal Tournament 2003 is coming out soon (I think Unreal comes out first). Can your hardware run it?

Info Select ver. 6 http://www.miclog.com/

Progrm is bloated, pricey, and on line documentation (help) leaves a lot to be desired.

But, I wouldn't be without it.

Usefull everyday programs
-debug.exe
-MS VC++
-Internet Explorer
-Photo Shop
-Web Express

almost everyday use, very usefull apps:

-Drive Image
-Partition Magic
-AutoCAD 2000 - great for making 3D desktop backgrounds and other stuff
-dBpowerAMP Music Converter

And many more. Instead of providing links for all of them, I have almost every software that I use on my ftp server. (it did offend, so it was removed ) Everytime I download something, I just save it in my folder, which is part of my shared folder for everything like winmx.

No you can't(TM)
... unless you go with Reliexec ...

Ryan, that first link in your message appears to contain software that is NOT available for redistribution! You could be inviting trouble for yourself.

Besides those mentioned already I use Karen's Replicator to backup all my important data files to an outside source. Very user friendly. You choose what to backup and when

I can't believe I'm the only one that gets all those annoying, redundant, generally unnecessary confirmation windows, and has done something about them. I wouldn't be without PTFB - "Push the Freakin' Button". It's not listed to work with XP - though it might. If it doesn't, it looks like I'll have Win 98 forever. LOL.

Jim.

looks like most of the must haves have been covered but here is a small game that is very addictive and fun the original name was egg sucker but the newest version is called dynomite. www.popcap.com

I tried to think and nothing happened

Not quite Quake 3 is it?
}>

Office XP - I like the increased functionality, task pane, voice recognition,etc.

Copernic - Great desktop search engine

AdAware - kills spyware!

Proxomitron - kills pop-ups, banners

This is not a software program but I use it every time before shutting down my computers.
I put shortcuts to all three in a folder called cleanup. I made a shortcut to the folder and put the shortcut in C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\CleanUp.
Folders.bat
Reg.reg
Made a Shortcut to Control Panel Internet Options and Placed that in the Cleanup folder Clear History Button- Delete Files Button and add a Check in Box Settings- View Files and Delete all. Will have to Put Shortcut on Desktop then move it from there into Cleanup Folder. Win98se
I’m sure there is a software program for this. But what fun is that.

If I am doing something wrong with the above Please someone let me know.

It's not a tool, but I really enjoy it just the same. It's Screensaver that displays thousands of quotes, some are profound and some are really hilarious. I have had it on my computer for over a year now, and I still don't think I've seen them all. It's freeware too!
