Pazera Free Audio Extractor takes the audio from most major video files without loss of sound quality or converts them to a variety of common audio formats. The program can also behave as a simple conversion tool from one audio format to another (e.g. AAC to MP3).
Some supported formats include (audio) MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WAV, ALAC, WavPack, AIFF; (video) AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, VOB, MKV, WebM and OGV.
Note: By default, the program will extract/convert to MP3. Select "Try extract original audio stream" to avoid re-encoding, which is faster but may result in a format that some devices can't read. The program has a number of predefined settings (profiles) specially designed for novice users, but you can also customize audio encoding and output parameters.

DPC Latency Checker is a must have in any computer debugging toolkit for its ability to highlight arcane system problems; it won't fix them, but will assert their existence beyond reasonable doubt. |

I could have sworn I installed MiniBin correctly for portable use, however months later I saw it created a Start Menu folder. Nothing in the registry, however so it could just be a mistake on my end.

Text 2 Folders creates folders based on list written in a text file. This contrasts the normal method for creating multiple folders, which is clicking "New Folder" repeatedly and then renaming the individual folders. Just create text document in Windows Notepad or other text program and save it, then run the program to generate folders. Separate folder names by putting them on a separate lines in the text file. For example a text file with the following text:

@granny Are you sure FreeCommander can do this? I know it can create nested folders separated with a slash, but how can it create peer folders? FreeCommander XE supports | to separate folders like TotalCommander, but plain FreeCommander doesn't. |

Great little utility. I regularly have a lot of zip files I need to move to different locations. This is a real timesaver. |
Don't Sleep helps prevent system Shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart operations. This is useful to temporarily disable automatic power-saving tools without modifying any system settings. Works great for running a presentation, defragmenting a disk, or encoding a large file.

Quick Config is a powerful and convenient tool aimed at saving or changing various settings to a custom profile. This is useful for resetting any changes to a single computer or for multiple computers that all need to have similar network, sound, or video options. The program will work as a very basic backup system for listed system settings (saved to its own XML file) that can then restore a machine or be transferred to another computer.
Available changes include setting local and network shares printers, sound scheme and volume, registry entries, services, run specific programs, change browser and email defaults. Changes can be applied in part (on each section select "apply now") or in whole (from the main window).

Nice application but it doesn't support dual screen or extended screen display. At work I work with TWO screens, at home only with my laptop screen. This is the most important feature for me and it is unavailable :-(

This program has a ton of possible uses: quickly viewing workstation settings, copying static network settings for operating system reinstallation, quick application of network drive mappings for application installations...thanks for this! |
Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch is a program for modifying audio, although its most noted feature is stretching. The program includes the capability for (8x, 50x etc.) sound stretching, as well "spectral smoothing" the sounds to escape the audio artifacts common in other audio editors when dramatically slowing audio. Includes many post-processing effects including filters, pitch/frequency shifters and more. The program imports WAV, OGG and MP3 files and can export to WAV or OGG.
The program can be used as an audio toy or in creating ambient or "screw"-style music.
