Fresher than fresh... 
Pictomio
I've tried free image browsers all the time (not just because of it's price..but i got fed up with acdsee a long time ago). my usual image browser was Fastone image viewer..and it's actually good, but i needed a fresher UI since..the preset UI in Fastone cant be changed or added to..tried Pictomio a few times and the 3D addition was a fresh way to view image files. Just a warning though...it can have trouble when youre opening up a folder with a few thousand files in it. Other than that, there`s no other 3D way of viewing you 2D files that`s free and has this nice UI. I stay away from Picasa because it`s a Google app...hated their app since i've tried using google desktop...

Missing something 
DownTester
It works fine and is easy to set up, but does not test upload speeds, which is very important to certain people, especially servers or gamers who want to know where they stand for online gaming.

The best I have seen 
Hide Folders 2009
I've tried a lot of apps that hide or encrypt folders, but this one is THE best. It does everything you want it to, and much better than others I have tried. My only criticism is that I feel it is a bit overpriced. $20 seems much more fair and in line with the competition, considering there are FREE alternatives.

Happy to use it 
ImTOO iPhone Software Suite
I like it because it can manage iPhone files like iTunes and also it can transfer ringtones to iPhone directly. It saves time for me.

Very good 
Folder Marker
Works well and is easy to use; the icons are very well done. The only thing I dislike about the Free version is that the folder color settings aren't "portable" (what the author calls "distributable", the icon is located in the folder), which isn't a problem if you don't move your folders around (on the same machine or onto other machines)--you need the Home (shareware) version for that.

Pretty good mostly 
Rainbow Folders
The program itself is pretty good. The only place it really comes up short is with the icons themselves for the larger/tile icons--no transparency (ragged edges). A more precise color picker might be nice. All in all, if you want "prettier" folder icons with different colors, then you can download icon sets or create them yourself (and create your own desktop.ini file for each folder). If you want a simple, free process for colorizing folder icons and you use the list/detail views instead of large/tile views, then you should like this program well enough. Otherwise, I'd suggest Folder Marker (shareware) or "roll your own" icons.

Very nice, convenient burner 
Explore&Burn
Downloaded, installed on 64 bit Vista, no reboot, right clicked a folder and burned it to a DVD. Excellent.

Good idea, bad execution 
New Folder Wizard
I was actually looking for something like this a couple weeks ago and ended up simply creating a batch file which creates folder structures for me in a split second. This program is absolutely useless to me without the ability to create sub folders.

Great scanner! 
Spyware Terminator
Excellent application!! I have deployed this product to many PC's. It even picks up viruses and rootkits that Symantec Antivirus missed. I highly recommend installing it as a scanner. The "Protect" (real-time detection) mode may be too much for some users. There are daily definition updates so I recommend that you always make sure your definitions are current before doing a scan.

Perfect clone of Avant 
Orca Browser
I have used Avant exclusively on many pc's for years, it is hands down the best browser I have ever used. Now for you rebellious anti-MS troublemakers out there, there is a Firefox version, same great browser without the MS to annoy the kids.

Exactly what I needed. 
ClickOff
This program is exactly what I needed to automatically close or select answers to annoying persistent nag and dialog confirmation popups. I give it a good daily workout for several different programs and browser popups. To set and forget, just point at the window or button, operate the hotkey, then if necessary highlight the selection in the main window and click on the advanced button to modify. It handles program popups as well as browser popups. It is not intended to be a main popup killer for browsers, but it will kill windows that many popup killers miss. As far as I know, this is the only freebie of this type available. Try it. You'll like it.

Amazing for a free program! 
Undelete Plus
Works great on Windows 2003 Small Business Server! A user deleted their complete MyDocuments directory structure off the server and this program completely recovered all the files! It won't undelete an empty directory that was deleted, but why would you need that? It will completely restore the directory structure for deleted files in deleted directories with a "keep folder structure" option. I've been a computer tech for 21 years and highly recommend this program!!

Windows can do this a lot easier... 
Advanced Launcher
I've tried using apps that does the basically the same thing..launches apps that i use often..but with every clean re-install of windows you always have to set it up again...what i did was...create folder in another drive named "shortcuts" and in those are folders and named them into categories..ex..browsers, office, web, etc...and in those are shortcuts to my apps that i use often. after which i click the taskbar and add a new toolbar and point it to my "shortcuts" folder and voila..the same thing...and each time i re-install...since it was on another drive i can always point it back there...easy as pie. no installation needed.

A stunning program 
Everything
I was amazed when I found this little gem. I never thought it was possible to search one's file at such speeds. It's so fast to launch in the first place, that I really don't need to keep it resident and have it consume memory (though its footprint is pretty low). I've just set it to a keyboard shortcut and launch it whenever I need to find something. Honestly, Microsoft should hire these guys if they ever want an instant search that doesn't index your stuff in decades. Many more stars than five from me :)

Nice windows explorer alternative!! 
CubicExplorer
This is exactly what I have been looking for. One issue is my Windows Explorer keeps reverting back to the default, I prefer the list detail, not the icon view, also I like to have certain non-default file properties showing which I constantly have to keep resetting get them back in the view pane. Not sure if it is an XP issue or if the remote updates they do at work keep 'fixing' it back to the default, but I don't have to deal with it anymore! This has a very nice look and the features I need - I can open multiple tabs which is a great help, I am constantly having to open multiple Windows Explorer instances, also now I can bookmark the directories that I frequently navigate to. All in all a job well done.

Makes a boring task great fun 
SpaceSniffer
This is neat to use. Frankly, I think old-fashioned text-based space usage reporters with printable outputs are more practical, but I still use this more than any other just because the responsive graphics are so much fun.

Confusing, full of poor design choices 
FolderViewer
Ambitious, but too many design failures. Tooltips required to learn your way around, but instead of having fixed colours, they adopt colours from the current Windows scheme, freq. resulting in invisible text. The various panes are not well laid out, and use two completely different idioms to suggest controls to show, hide, or expand the various panes. One such is a bar w/ mouseover effects, but the arrows on the bar, meant to suggest the direction of the resultant action, are not consistently or correctly used. The drive bar is useless unless the *correct* pane is *already shown*. Some panes can be instantly maximized with a menu command (but not one of the two conflicting barstyles), while others can't be hidden at all. It all feels so random. It is heavily tied to Internet Explorer (w/ perm. toolbar links to services I never use), all other browser users are OOL. Impressive functionality, but awkward to use due to poor design, and not customizable.

This should be much better known! 
MAX`s HTML Beauty++ 2004
The creator brags that this is the best freeware HTML editor out there - and he's right! At least, if there is a better one, I have yet to find it, and I've tried over a dozen - and uninstalled all of them in dismay, disgust, or disappointment. Either the interfaces are confusing, or they add extraneous code, and are just more frustration than they're worth - even free. HTML Beauty, on the other hand, is sleek, simple, convenient - the Charmap function alone would be worth $$$ but then there are the simple wizards for doing all kinds of things that ought to be easy but aren't in most free (and plenty paid) editors. It isn't true WYSIWYG, but the convenient preview button works better than the unreliable WYSIWYG of other programs. I am a basic-level, self-taught web page maker with a lot of graphics program experience, so this might be a little beyond a just-starting beginner - but then again, maybe not. [/ravereview]

It works great 
WirelessKeyView
Like all of Nir Sofer`s software, it works great and delivers exactly what it claims. What more can or should you expect. Thanks, Nir!
