5 software programs you CANNOT live without?

[compudog]

MS Office 2K (Outlook 2K a necessity)
IE 5.5 or 6
MS FrontPage 2K
Photoshop
PowerDesk (Cool & Free! Zips, File Management & More!)

All of this, is of course, if I continue to use a computer. Some days I want to just smash every one.... :disgust:

 

[Joony]

Win2k

[Wetling23]

1. Irfanview (best free image viewer period.)
-Yeah, I love this.

2. IE 5.5 (come on now.. who really uses anything else besides Internet Explorer?)
-I like 6

3. Winamp (you can't beat a classic. free, simple, and SKINS!)
-God, I hate Winamp!

4. WinRAR (does everything WinZip does.. and SOOO much more)
-Tried using this a while back with little success, back to Winzip

5. WinMX (my main source of mp3s and movies)
-This was also a pain in the ass. Everything I tried to dl, just sat there doing nothing all night. Morpheus is way better, and so is Audio Galaxy.

Windows
WinZip (or WinRAR, whatever)
IE
ZoneAlarm

My job would be a little tougher without MS Office, also.

 

[dieselstation]

Try using WinMX with additional server list from TrippyMX. Trust me, it made my WinMX 10x better.

[Praetor]

In no particular order:

1: Zone Alarm

2: Norton AntiVirus

3: WinACE (c'mon, does zip, rar, and ace)

4: Office 2k/XP (as long as I have Word, Excel and Outlook, I'm happy)

5: WinAMP (I turned it into my complete media center, real audio/video, AVI, MPEG, DiVX, TV, plus all the audio formats, et al)

I won't put my OS into that, because I'm assuming that it's a given. And since it IS Win2k, it'll automagically have IE6 on it. Plus my old DOS remnants. Maybe once I've taught myself enough VC++, I'll put it up on the list, but until then....
