Indispensable

Send To Toys version 2.5

Interface: 5
Features: 5
Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

This is one of those utilities that is hardly known but shouldn't be. Just right click on a shortcut, file, or folder, and send it where you want it to go. With this program, you can send shortcuts to the quick-launch bar, create shortcuts on the desktop, send data to an application of your choice, and much more. This program blends in so well that it's easy to forget it's an installed application and not part of the Windows system itself.

This utility provides plenty of compression related options and the included help files are excellent. Although it can be used as a default type utility without knowing much about the zip/unzip process, it's also an excellent tool for learning what's going on under the hood and highly useful for those with more in-depth knowledge.

Overall:

This program is great! It's small, fast, and simple - ideal for quickly locating files and folders. It indexes extremely fast (within seconds) and best of all, it automatically monitors file system changes and updates it's database each time the program starts. My 38GB HDD took about 12 seconds to initially index. There is also a portable version available from the author's web site.

Not as good as believed

Auslogics Disk Defrag version 1.5.20.335

Interface: 5
Features: 2
Ease of use: 5
Value: 3
Overall:

This is more of a file defragger rather than a disk defragger. Although it has a nice interface that gives the impression that it's thorough, all it takes is to use a different defrag program after using this, and it will likely indicate a high level of disk fragmentation. Again, file fragmentation is not disk defragmentation.

MediaMonkey does it all in a very effective way. I haven't found a freeware alternative yet that has so many useful features in such an easy to use package. Although there are some imitators out there, they don't come close to the number of features, clarity of function, or bug-free operation of MediaMonkey. This is high quality software and one of the few non-freeware programs that I highly recommend.

Better interface than ie6

Internet Explorer version 7.0

Interface: 5
Features: 4
Ease of use: 4
Value: 5
Overall:

The lack of tabs was primary reason I stopped using IE in favor of other browsers. When I learned that IE7 now included tabs, I decided to try it. Every release of IE has had problems and IE7 is likely to be no exception. So far I found that a language bar is installed along with the browser and that the menu bar is not located at the top of the browser window. A fix is available at Snapfiles that works nicely to place the menu bar on top. Also, for those using CCleaner, CCleaner will erase all your browser cookies unless you uncheck clean the index.dat files under IE settings. This is a compatibility problem between CCleaner and IE7. I'm sure many more problems will be identified and rectified, but in the end IE7 should end up being a decent browser.

I downloaded and tried this program and it backed up and zipped all my drivers very quickly. It has a very clean and easy to use interface. As the previous interviewer mentioned, it's not as critical a utility for those using WinXP, but it's nice to know my drivers are backed up. This utility should be handy for those using Pre-WinXP systems. I asked for a registration code and received it in about 10 minutes, although the Web site indicated it could take up to 48 hours.

It is super fast, accurate, stable, and uses little system resources. Let me emphasize this again - this is fast!

I tried many snap tools, but keep going back to MWsnap. It's simple to use, small, and effective. A classic that should be on every PC.

... that Freeware can be this good. Who needs Paint Shop Pro? This app is small, fast, reliable and with more features than I will ever use. PhotoFiltre provides a complete graphics editing package for the home user.

This was my favorite Tag Tool but unfortunately, it has not been updated in over 2 years. It's small, fast, configurable, and has the best display of any tag tool I ever used. It is truly one of a kind.

Best freeware file manager out there. All that's missing is a help menu, although it's easy to use and understand without one.
