Freebies Part II
 

Hey Dudes,

It's been a long time since anyone recommended computer freebies, so your votes please below for 'must have' software that's free :)

OK, I know you're pilot's, so I'll give you an example:-

Zone alarm (firewall). Excellent protection for FREE. Go to
http://www.zonelabs.com/

See, it's not too difficult is it. Come on chaps, there must be programmes you use that you can recommend! It is Xmas :)

I like this little baby, for controlling your startup.

Thanks BS & P. The remainder? God you lot are boring.

As a pilot, I know you prefer to get something for nothing, so here's another;

Top vote goes to Irfanview <a href="http://www.irfanview.com/" target="_blank">http://www.irfanview.com/</a> for viewing images in just about any format.

Mario Knok's IconSaver saves/restores Desktop icon positions (look for it with Google)

eCleaner by Steve Chin is good for clearing the HTML out of Web pages (ditto).

Good thread - several more haunt my machine that are invaluable every once in a while - I'll try and get them together.

Cheers

Free:
Firewall: ZoneAlarm
MP3 player: WinAmp
Pic viewer/converter: Irfan Viewer
Partition manager 1: Ranish Partition manager (FDisk replacement)
Partition manager 2: Disk Drake (Mandrake Linux)
Partition manager 3: Partition Magic

Bundled with an old laptop:
Cable connection/file transfer: TranXit (can self install on a target machine down a serial cable)

Probably a stack of others I've stored but I'm using a spare HD while I wait for a warranty replacement for my failed primary HD.

Free? How/where/since when?

My vote : CDex (CD-ripper)

Oops! My error.

That was meant to be in the 'Bundled' category. I got it with a computer or Windows tome published by Que (or whoever).
