I installed a 160Gb external USB drive and the software that came with it was crap.If only I checked on here first it would have saved me a couple of hours.
This is a very good backup program with Incremental, timed backup and its also can create a .ZIP file with encrytion and can run in the background.

Control 2 pc's with one keyboard and mouse:

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Just uses IP; amazing bit of software if you run Development/Production boxes and want to avoid a KVM switch or multiple keyboards.

Ripitforme
www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RipItMe-Download-44816.html#download_locations

If you already use dvdshrink and dvddecrypter this tool is fantastic. It has not failed yet to allow me to backup anything i own. It uses Decrypter to take out all the nasty VOB files, can rip movie only if you wish etc. One click operation. Then automatically fires up shrink to compress the files.

Everybody gets so hung up on GIMP as a free alternative to photoshop, but GIMP has never been that user friendly.

If you want a good Image Manipulation App on Windows you can;t go wrong with paint.net

www.getpaint.net/index2.html

Needs .net framework 2.0 but that's no biggie. Hope his helps someone.

Paint.NET is good, but is Windows only. Personally I find neither GIMP or Photoshop to be all that user friendly.

clears out a hell of a lot of crud of your pc. took 1.9gb of temporary files that i didnt know i had, and gets rid.

pooter still works as well



Thumbs up for this - I'm pretty tight on keeping my PC lean and mean, but this found nearly a gig of junk!


Great piece of kit. Cleared 560MB from my system. Love this from the website: "CCleaner (formerly Crap Cleaner)" hehe

Haven't been through so apps if repost -

www.tucows.com
www.download.com

and a nice little ip scanner - angry ip scanner from
http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

although Norton says it's a problem - never had problems
enter in ip addresses and will scan your PC to see which addresses are used by etc modem.
Possibly others as good, found this one simple.


Also another site --usefull for drivers - www.driverguide.net --free registration needed.
