ReIcon lets you save and restore your desktop layout. If you frequently change your screen resolution (e.g. to play games or use applications that require a specific resolution), you are probably familiar with the problem of your desktop icons being jumbled into a mess after you switch back to your normal resolution. ReIcon solves this problem by allowing you to save your desktop layout and restore it later with the click of a button (or with the right-click context menu).

I like it and think that it can be considered better than similar programs as it offers command-line options, which means one can make the saving of the current icon-layout a set-it-and-forget-it regular scheduled task in task-scheduler.
I'd vote for it but but I have zero rank.

I've been using this program for years it is an amazing way to do tricky RegEx on text or figure out RegEx for other programs/software. I use it the most for striping junk out of large website copy/past operations, but it has also been a life savor in game dev, web dev, and just an overall amazing tool to have on my computer an know existed.

CCTime is a utility to help track how much time you spend on different tasks during your work day. Tracking time is tedious, so focus lies on simplicity and automation. CCTime stays out of your way while still being readily accessible, so you can focus on actual work. CC is short for Click Click, because two clicks is all it takes to register time on a task!

CCTime sits in your system tray and automatically hides when not in use. You can see how much time you've spent in total each day, and how much of that time has not yet been assigned to tasks. For each week you can get a report, summarizing your work that week.

CC Time is free, open source software. Source code is available at GitHub.

thanks for the tip billybox, i've been looking forever trying to resize the text to a readable state..

Maximilian on 2007-04-30 21:12

Wow, this is not only the most visually appealing, but also the most useful hex editor I've ever tried!

I agree with BillyBob in that the default font (Fixed Roman) is way too small. It would have been better if the author set the default to "OEM Fixed Font" or something.

I also like Autumn, and look forward to more color schemes.

rgann on 2007-12-12 00:57

Yes, it has some unusual features, but it is not truely portable. After installing and playing with it for a while, I discovered that it stored the primary (font selection, colors, etc) in two files (hexplorer.dat and mclip.dat) in "%windir%\Application Data". I did not use all the features and tools so other files may be created.

Have used this for sometime now as my default desktop note app. Launches very quickly, easy to setup and use, and has a small footprint. Useful for taking basic notes quickly. Other than fonts, doesn't provide other options to change its appearance, allowing the user to focus on writing notes rather than on distracting options such as page layouts, backgrounds, colors, graphics, structure, or setting up menus.
