Calcute is an unobstrusive scientific tape calculator. Calcute lets you enter complete expressions as if you were using a regular text editor. You can see what you are doing so you can easily make corrections. Type what you want to calculate, press Enter to get the answer. The calculator keypad can remain hidden or it can be shown if you prefer to click buttons with the mouse instead of typing.

Cool program, ugly though. In case you haven't figured out (it took me a while), the textured bar to the left of the text area is what you grab to move the window.

Every other device (Android, iOS, Mac, etc.) that doesn't have this format calculator just drives me crazy. Writing out the whole problem before calculating is so much better than a single window, single-output view.

ESBCalc (free portable persion) is a good free alternative in my opinion. |

Version 2.4.1.416 was released today. The version stays 2.4.1, but the build is 416, versus 404, which was the previous build.

The current version of this (v2.4.2.431) isn't stealth; it leaves a bunch of registry keys (albeit all empty) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\First Objective Software\foxe.

@the_watcher - I'm on Win 8.1 and don't use Windows Explorer that often so I can't really verify. I use CubicExplorer.

Does anyone know of a way I could use this as a replacement "Sendto" menu. There's no software I've found that can do it. I would love to make my Sendto menu more portable when reinstalling Windows. |

If you close this program using the usual Windows red "X" in the top right corner, it will leave SPCleaner.exe running in Task Manager (and an inactive icon in system tray). Instead, you MUST pull down the file menu and choose exit to actually shut this program down. That's pretty rude going against Windows conventions.

I tried to use latest zip (8.4), could not do anything. There was no option to add rules. May be something is wrong with the UI or it does not support Windows 8.1 N version. |
WinSorter is able to manipulate highlighted text by selecting text and clicking on the TrayMenu icon. Changes include converting text to upper case, lowercase, and many variations in between. Can sort text alphabetically, numberically, remove duplicates, word count, and even do basic math operations.

Nice program but... it doesn't work with cyrillic text. Therefore the program is unusable for many people who write in cyrillic. |
Drag two files, or folders, and swap their names.

Great idea! I could use that occasionally although the time to launch the app and drag files will most probably take longer than manually renaming the files.

I could actually use this sometimes. Interesting idea for a program. |
NETTIME communicates with time servers over the Internet, used in many countries for accurate date/time information, kept correct according to observatory/GPS data. The program tries to connect to each of these servers until it finds the date/time information and then asks you to correct your clock (automatic correction available).
NETTIME contains more than 100 predefined time servers and servers may be added or modified by editing the INI-file. An up-to-date server list is available.

I like Nettime because it installed as a service which updates the system time when you boot up your computer. Wonderful.
