RJ TextEd
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  The best!  qright

RJ TextEd version 5.74.1
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5

  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Good enough to make this your default text and html editor. It has a great look and feel without being overwhelming. With a spell check, a file explorer and a preview for web pages, (and so much more), it's all you need. I haven't found one better! I tried really hard to find at least one thing wrong with it, to no avail. I can't say enough good things, so I'll just say, get it, you'll really like it!

Everything

qleft  Possibly the best  qright

I've been using this search program for quite a while and wouldn't be without it. Unlike heavy bloated desktop search engines, this program is lightning fast and you'll get what your're looking for instantly. Search anything on your computer and external drives, as well. Just as soon as you create or modify a file, it lists (updates)itself in the program. You can even see it being updated. It's an amazing program; light and portable. Set it up (like I did) and make the ALT and ENTER keys your hot keys, so you'll have a search engine anytime and at your fingertips. Try it! You will absolutely wonder what you did before having this tiny app. I can't say enough good things about this program.

sTabLauncher

qleft  Excellent app  qright

sTabLauncher version 2.2

What else can I say - It's wonderful! The only problem I have had since it became available on this website, is not being able to download skins or other items because the bandwidth os always -0-. The site continually exceeds it's bandwidth and hasn't been available to days. Until this is corrected, the skins and visuals can't be seen or downloaded. I guess we'll just have to wait.

View Source Editor

qleft  Excellent app  qright

View Source Editor version 1.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5

Works with Vista! Vista OS makes it hard to change the HTML source editing from anything other than that terrible notepad.exe. (You'd think by now, Microsoft would know how to make a good text editor). This app does the job and does it perfectly! If you have Vista and do source editing, this is a "must have" app!

It wasn't too hard to figure out how to program all the wonderful features. I can actually carry on a conversation with "Sam" and although it seems silly at times, it can really be a "hands-off" co-worker experience. The only gripe I have is that when I ask for the date, it says it's exactly one month later than it is. Does anybody know how to fix this? My date and time is accurate on my computer. But that's all I can gripe about; since it's got a full 5 stars from me, anyway!

Duplicate File Finder
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Great little program  qright

Duplicate File Finder version 3.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

This little application does the job very nicely. The only setback is that it deleted files permanently. It would be wonderful if it had an option to delete files to the recycle bin. Having that option added would make this the very best duplicate file finder there is.

Thunderbird
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Very nice, but . . .  qright

Thunderbird version 1.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

A great program, but if you like control of your email and profile data bases like I do, this email client is not for you. There is no other program (I know of), that reads .msf files (Thunderbirds default file extension). A text editor works, but as a database file, all messages for that category are stored in that one file. Thunderbird imports all your email data from your default email client and creates a "duplicate" of all your data (but with the .msf extensions), in another folder. There is no way to set your default email data folder; so you have no control over where to store your data. If you decide to go back to Outlook Express or another email client, there is no way to retrieve and incorporate your new data back into your Outlook Express default data folders. Overall, this is a very nice program with more spam control features than Outlook Express. If you're not interested in having this data control, Thunderbird is one of the best!

Mmm Free
  • Freeware

qleft  Hmmm  qright

Mmm Free version 1.99 beta 5
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

The website claims "No spyware, no adware, no nag-screens. Just FREE!" However, a while after installing the program, my firewall asked for permission to "send" information to the Mmm website. All I can say is Hmmm! If you use this (nice) program, make sure you say NO to your firewall.

Stick
  • Freeware

qleft  Get this one for sure!  qright

Stick version 2.1 beta 13
  • Interface: 5

  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

What a wonderful new program. If you're like me, and love to be creative and orderly on your desktop, as well as having convenience, get this program and treat yourself to one of the nicest and most versatile tab launchers, ever made. I've tried many launchers and I can't say enough nice things about Stick tabs. Each tab you create can be can be arranged anywhere on the edges of your computer screen. The customization and look is almost endless. You can launch programs, web sites, mini-explorer windows to access folders and files as well as view txt and formatted rtf files. The Note Tab is handy and easy to use. Best of all, your notes, can be kept in a directory of your choice. The Quick Launcher and the Internet Tab are fantastic features!. The help file is well written and easy to understand. Use your imagination and have fun with this really nice, well written program. Let's try to change the rating from good to Excellent!

Any Password
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Still the best!  qright

Any Password version 1.43
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I've tried them all and this is by far the best password keeper made (for free). It's easy, it's very fast and it's reliable. All others are just too slow (to many key presses)and some are very complicated. If you want ease, simplicity and security, try this program. Also, you can backup/save your password data file to any name and directory. You can import and export your data. Of all the password programs, this is still the best!

HTML Quick Edit Bar

HTML Quick Edit Bar version 1.3
  • Interface: 5

Acts just like a word processor for your HTML files. Nice, easy interface. You can "save" or "save as" your edited file, which is excellent if you want to keep a backup of your original file. A very nice program. I only wish it could be used in other browsers.

I've been using this program (vs 105) for over a year and it's a real gem! It looks great on my desktop and is truly a must have item. I don't know what they could have done to improve this program (new vs 106), since it's perfect as is.

Rain Alerts
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  It's raining here!  qright

Rain Alerts version 1.1
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 2

The program asks for your zip code and since it's raining here, I expected it to tell me it's raining. The program said "Doppler radar shows no rain approaching (my area)". And..."Rain not expected (in my area)". I went on their website and put my zip code in there and got the same message. So much for Rain Alerts!

Start-Up Tool
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Read the help file  qright

Start-Up Tool version 0.0.1.0
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 2

Please read the help file and be prepared to take full responsibility for all your actions. Once you disable a program, and unless you want to completely delete it, do not hit the "to easy to hit" CleanUp button. If you do, and mght need it again, you'll have to reinstall the program into your startup folder. Also, the top right middle button "refreshes" your registry and any unsaved changes will be lost. Play it safe and check out other "startup" programs that give you better control of all your startup files.

Google Desktop
  • Freeware

qleft  Puzzled  qright

Google Desktop version Beta 100504
  • Interface: 1

  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

I'm sure this is a great program but when I tried to install it, it said the program wasn't compatible with my antivirus program and my spamblocker program. When I inquired as to why it wasn't compatible with my program, I could not find a reason in their help/install page, other than to uninstall both my antivirus and spamblocker programs to enable their program to work. Since the Google search for IE is filled with spyware, I can only suspect this program is also filled with spyware. If this is untrue, then WHY must I uninstall 2 of my most important programs, just to install theirs! I believe we all need an explanation. Note: I wanted to give this program an excellent ratings review, but did not want to recommend it. Since Snapfiles does not accept these conditions, I must give it an overall zero rating until Google explains why their programs are not compatible with our most important computer programs.

Finally, a great back-up program that is easy to use and does the job. So far, this is the best I've found and I've been looking for a good back-up program for a long time. Thanks!
