Any cool software I should try out?

[Czar]

I'm just about going to install winxp again because its sortof fuct up and I would like to try out some software that I could use before I fuc up my soon to be new install.

 

[hooj]

any sort of software inparticular?

 

[Czar]

nope.. just anything you use and find handy

....Neotrace.....

 

[hooj]

Winamp 3 with the conneramp skin is a must

<< ....Neotrace..... >>


looks good downloading trial right now

Mitzi,
neotrace is great, except I dont see much use for it.

hooj,
I suppose you mean corneramp, trying it out next

You pretty much have to have WS_FTP Pro.

ZoneAlarm?

Naw, you need FlashFXP
Anyway, I think a "cool software" thread is a good idea. I'll have to think of some cool crap for you to get.

hooj,
its very different, but I prefer the basic winamp skin, but thanks for pushing me into trying winamp3 out going to use that from now on.

911paramedic,
I used wsftp, didnt like it, now I use leechftp and flashfxp
I have tiny firewall installed but I dont need it since I have another computer as a router that runs winroute pro with a builtin firewall.

Morpheous....when they sort it out....Preview Edition of 2 is monkey pants compared to the original version 1.

A program called Picview lite I have always found very handy at previewing images...but dunno where you can find it.

TheCorm,
I'v tried out morpheus, just sucks that I have limited download per month :frown:

This is picaview, dont like it from the screenshots there, I use acdsee 3.something and love it, you should try it out.. dont get version4 since that is overbloated with crap you dont need.

if you can find netpersec it's a neat little bandwidth monitoring program.

Powerdesk is suppodely really liked by many people (including some here at work). Might want to check it out before starting over. It's a desktop management program that rocks in all the reviews.

royaldank,
I used netpersec for a while few months ago, but I'm still using dumeter, I find it much better for what I need.dumeter

I love corneramp, but my only problem with Winamp3 is there doesn't seem to be any right-click funcionality. eg. "add to playlist" in explorer isn't available, unless someone knows of a registry entry or fix for this.

what a great idea,
maybe that could be in the software forum, pinned to the top....

(go look there)

That should be included when the final release of Winamp 3 is released, which should hopefully be soon.

Another great program is Kazaa Lite, which is the same as Kazaa but with all the crap and spyware removed from it

LOL had no clue about that thread thanks

Czar : Neotrace is useful to trace people down if you start getting lots of SPAM from a email certain address/domain name - it can also be fun to enter less-reputable sites and see what comes out!

Thanks for the tip...I'll look at that sometime this weekend.
