Windows Settings

Required

  • ZoneAlarm - firewall
  • TweakUI - for adjusting those hard to find Windows settings
  • Command Prompt Here - DOS Prompt from current folder
  • Sizer - Set window size
  • TrayIt - Minimizes applications to system tray so they can stay open.
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader
  • OpenOffice.org - document, spreedsheet, and presentation
  • StaskSwitchXP - advanced task management utility by adding visual styles to the dialogand also enhances it by displaying thumbnail preview of the application that will be switched to
  • Google Talk - so you all can talk to me (chadsmiley)
  • Media Monkey - Media player
  • AVG Free - anti-virus software
  • FastStone - download with or without installer!!
  • Capture - Flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility
  • Photo Resizer - Image converter / resizer
  • Image Viewer - Image browser -really cool if you have two monitors
  • Wink - Tutorial and Presentation creation software
  • Firefox (custom options, include developer tools)
  • Cobian Backup - simple with many options for backing up files.  I even use it to backup my thumb drive and memory cards

Evaluating

  • Wax - video compositing and special effects software
  • Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall - so far, it has been OK.  Catches more because it determines how applications are launched, example: Firefox launched from the start menu than being launched from Lotus Notes.
