Dupe check the last page:

Ok folks, I have found a utility to spell check inside text boxes in IE.

Its called ieSpell

"ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). "

Get it from www.iespell.com.

Haven't tried it yet, cause I am at work.
Edit, I have installed it on my work computer, and it is great!!
I have been looking for this forever!!! Here we go!!! Check me out !!! (post #23)

shrek_abx · 03-30-2003, 06:07 PM

Well, firstly I must say 'thanx' to the boys for putting me onto PowerArchiver - easily the best all-in-one utility of its type I've used - excellent!

Now - my picks for cool utils:

> PopUpCop www.popupcop.com - pop-up killer. No, pop-up terminator. Sensational. I'm up to about 2500 stopped annoyances with only about 6 getting thru in all that time. It sits quietly in your IE Toolbar, and has many variables/configurations to really tweak your browsing experience. Mandatory part of my PC!

> Alcohol 120% www.alcoholsoftware.com - very comprehensive and accurate CD-burning proggy - especially with protected discs - possibly even better than CloneCD ... does depend on the burner you have - but if you're a recent Lite-On owner (or any '2 sheep' burner) then this program may be what you need for backing-up your protected discs. This or BlindWrite.

You're right! It is a cool little proggy. I might even give Version 5.0 a try. I've always wanted to be a beta tester!

Diskdata's the man. It shows you which folders on your hard disk(s) are taking up the most room.

As *Swannema* listed here

I know, Not new! (still makes the cool software list

) but a reminder for the folks that cant afford MS Office. It supports Windows/Linux/Mac/Solaris
OpenOffice 1.0.3.1 -Get it here-

Been working great on Win2K, so far I have had NO problems using Documents created with MS Office 2000 (Word) in OpenOffice.

For the price, it can't be beat!!

I always hated it to install and use PGP for encyption for emails. I also hardly needed to use encryption for this purpose.

However once in a while you want to send confidential documents/files (draft contracts etc.) by email. Without using PGP I was unable to encrypt files/documents for emailing.

I now found a nice little proggy! It's called Adhearo Transit ( a TERRIBLE name, but alah).

The beauty of this program:

it creates a self-extracting encrypted file with the .ex_ extension (so NOT .exe). The only thing is you've got to make a note or remember the passphrase you have used to to encrypt the file/document.

You send off your email and subsequently call the recipient by phone and inform him which passphrase to use to decrypt/self-extract the file. The recipient does not need to have Adhearo Transit installed on his PC! The encrypte file is automatically deleted from the system after being decrypted/extracted.

That's what is meant with Keep it Simple and Stupid.

Here is the link:

Highly recommended!
