I dropped Notepad++ in favor of this one. Notepad++ is rapidly turning into bloatware. Notepad2 does not need plugins for its features, and so it is faster and much more compact, while still full of useful features.

There's now a x64 build of Notepad2. But can someone please explain to me how to get the "Open shell links" feature, so strings like www.someurl.com or adress@server.net will launch when clicked in Notepad2?

I've tried them all over the years, including the modded version, but keep coming back to Flo's original. Small; fast; no distractions. Other notepad replacements often have too many options. The only thing I would add is a tabbed interface, but it's not a deal-breaker. Using the built-in Favourites and coupled with Flo's own metapath (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1701), it's almost perfect for the way I work. |
WinSplit Revolution allows you to easily organize windows by tiling, resizing and positioning them to make the best use of your desktop real estate. The program is especially useful for larger resolution screens by helping you efficiently manage multiple active windows. The program allows users to move windows and have them snap into pre-defined areas such as 1/2 or 1/4 of the screen using simple keyboard hotkeys.
Functional on 64-bit.
Note that the program is no longer in development -- linking to archive.org and softpedia mirrors.

Although the method of creating a predefined area is very good, I prefer the usability of Gridmove (mainly the mouse control with trigger locations) I think that either the author of winsplit needs to try adding mouse control, like gridmove, or the author of gridmove needs to make the creation of grids simpler, like winsplit.

After using the various tools in Win 7 that handle window position, I got very homesick for this great tool. Even better, it works right alongside Win 7's tool set. Awesome. |

Installation instructions updated. Note that I didn't test the "install as portable" option, which might work fine.

Minime is a tool that allows you to minimize applications to the system tray using a customizable hotkey (by default CTRL+ALT+Z). What makes this tool somewhat unique is that it keeps your system tray clean by minimizing all applications into a single tray icon. Minime-ized applications do not appear in the Alt+Tab menu.
Functional in 64-bit. Written using AutoIt.

If the icon disappears (this *occasionally* happens when Explorer acts up in Win7x64) don't run Task Manager and End Task. Your hidden windows will not return. The trick is to RE-RUN Minime and, when prompted, click "OK".

FileVerifier++ checks and compares files to see if they have been modified. Supports drag-and-drop, recursive directory processing, patterns, color coding, export to a variety of hashing formats (.sfv, .md5, .csv, etc.) and more. Can use any of 21 different hashing algorithms such as CRC16 for speed and SHA-512 for security (uses the standard MD5 by default).
The program (ZIP version) will automatically ask to create verification files with relative pathways, which is much more portable.
Win2K users should use an earlier version. A beta 64-bit version is available.

A little intimidating at first, but so far looks like the best file verification tool I've tried yet. Fast, recursive directory verify, open source, relative pathways, and multiple different verification methods? Dream come true for making sure your data hasn't changed or corrupted. Recommend MD5 for general file verification and SHA 256 for security verifications.

AppAdmin is a manager for Windows applications restrictions to prevent access to casual users or small children. Merely renaming or moving the file cannot circumvent the block. Although some applications will be immediately disabled once added, clicking "restart explorer" is necessary to enable some software restrictions.
Supports drag-and-drop of applications and, as the program modifies Windows settings, it does not need to be running to function.
Note: Later versions have become shareware.

Imagicon converts images to icons or smaller images. When set to save to ICO format, users can drag-and-drop regular images to create square icons in 16 x 16, 32 x 32, 48 x 48, 64 x 64 or 128 x 128 with transparency support. For images, BMP, JPG or PNG image files can be saved to smaller, higher-compression versions with basic transformation effects (flip vertical or horrizontal, conversion to black and white), useful for creating thumbnails.

I have used this program lots of times on several computers with no problem. I am on this site because I could not find the program on this computer, so I re-installed from from a previously downloaded file. My AVG antivirus program flagged the executable as dangerous, and removed it. It is a great program, and I have no idea why it was flagged, as it never had been before. I am going to delete my old download, and download it again. I am using XP on all present computers, and I do not remember if I was using it with Win98, which I continued to use until a couple of years ago. |

Although I've moved over to freeware options for most things I do, I've maintained use of Microsoft Photo Manager for years when working on my own photo collection. Today however, I was on a machine without it so I got PhotoScape up and found I actually prefer it.

Every few months I discover something new and cool with this program. Animated GIF tricks, photo edit functions, framing tricks, and photo collages. Today it was dragging and dropping an image onto the program icon and seeing the wealth of edition, annotation, and symbol tools available. |
