Default Tiny Windows programs you can\'t live without:

Do you know any useful-tiny-freeware(shareware) Windows programs you can't live without? I think sharing them with a short description is a good idea.

Here are my favourite:
1. WinRar3 (archivator)
2. Password Safe v1.7 (Enables you to have all your important info to be locked in one database, protected with single psw.)
3. AnalogX POW! v1.58 (easy to use pop-up killer)
4. Ad-Aware 5.0 (removes spy-software from your computer)
5. Strokeit (enables you to draw various gestures with mouse on your screen. It speeds common tasks such as "minimize window", "close window", "start IE", etc.)

Default Re: Tiny Windows programs you can\'t live without:

Winzip, and TweakUI (to get rid of the annoying arrow on the shortcuts I place on my desktop)

When I do a fresh install, these are the programs I set up first...

Display drivers,
Sound Dirvers,
Winzip,
ACDSee viewer,
TweakUI,
..Then I install the apps and games I can't live without!

Cheers!

I've got Adaware 5.83 -- is there anything later out yet?

Proxomitron - a local proxy/filter that stops pop-ups and does lots of other fancy modification of incoming and outgoing HTML or Javascript 'on the fly' so you can control your browing experience. It has a very complete and complex script language.

Irfanview - a totally free graphics viewer with a very convenient and easy to use 'thumbnail' view mode. This is ideal for surveying your SE components, facilities, and ship images. I can also save any graphic it can view in a different forma,t so it is effectively a converter as well.

Quickzip - a free archive program that handles ZIP, RAR, ACE, and quite a few other formats. It seems to have 'disappeared' off the net recently. Though you can still find copies around the author and his site have vanished. I hope it will continue to develop in the future or I'll have to look for an alternative.

Default Re: Tiny Windows programs you can\'t live without:

I have some DLL or other that lets me save my icon positions for my desktop. Real handy when i drop down to 1024*768 to play SEIV!

AnalogX makes good stuff - I have the programmer's Calc in my quickbar. I also have Irfanview, but NOT Quickzip - I need to find that! I have yet to find a zip util i'm satisfied with.

Why would you need to reduce your resolution to play SE4?
Unless you've got some incredible rez like 1600x1200 or something as your usual it'll look fine.

How about a spam killer? I've tried 2. Neither of which work the way I want.
