BK Color Coder

Best thing about this groggy, no more guessing!

Be sure to un-check {DEFAULT} then use the {Snag Color} hover the mouse over any thing you want the color from then hit {ENTER} to snag the color, Oh ya, its free.

Ultra VNC is a nice little program especially if you have to maintain several pcs on a soho network.

I use this in the field when I get put in front of a machine that a Sys Admin cannot tell me much about. It provides a pretty comprehensive report on the Platform config, software licenses and HDD & Memory set-up. Great for getting a quick look at an unknown machine...

NAME: Photocopier Pro
USE: - does what it says.
SITE: Photocopier
TYPE: Pro is Shareware,Basic is freeware

IMPRESSION: Convenient and very good result in photocopying,works a lot better than my HP scanJet 3400C software.Tested also to a Mustek scanner.
ALSO
Ontrack Fix-It Utilities 3.0 is a various system optimizing and diagnostic program.Personally I liked it cause I managed to recover some erased files.
There`s also 4.0 version-I don`t have it though.It seems that site is down and maybe company also

Have you got any of these type utilities that work OK? (Basically for data recovering)

ATINUT · 11-12-2003, 05:17 PM

For me, it's TuneUp Utilities 2003.

http://www.tune-up.com/

Using TuneUp Utilities 2003, I tweaked and tuned WindowsXP, so I get the max performance I can out of WindowsXP. I also used it to tweak Internet Explorer, TCPIP, and get rid of that blasted QOS reservation garbage, and I now have faster download speeds than before.

I also like the registry cleaning applet, and file deletion utility in TuneUp Utilities 2003.

*Fraoch* · 11-12-2003, 05:41 PM

I like Karen's Cookie Viewer. Works great. I go in there, delete legitimate ones that I don't want, then go into IE6 and block any advertiser's or tracking cookies I find.

After a little while of doing this, I get no more advertiser's or tracking cookies...

I don't know if this falls into the category 'utilities' but the new Google toolbar is effective in keeping those annoying pop-ups away. Try it....

Jahandar · 11-30-2003, 11:38 PM

Hello! I just stumbled upon these forums when a google search led me to a thread from Feb, 2002.

Anyway, here are some utilities I swear by:

QuickMacros (www.quickmacros.com) - great macro program for windows. The syntax is easy to learn, and offers a lot of flexibility. Great for automating tasks. (shareware)

ReaConvertor (www.reasoft.com) - This is a great program for batch processing images. It has loads of features and supports HUNDREDS of image types. It is the only program of this type that can handle the proprietary Kodak DCS TIF format. (shareware)

RealVNC (www.realvnc.com) - someone suggested another VNC program earlier. This one is the most stable, so I prefer it. (open source)

POPFile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/) - This is the best mail filtering and spam handling software I've used. It is written in perl, and is very flexible and powerful. (open source)

CesarFTP (http://www.aclogic.com/) - A simple FTP server that has a small footprint, without skimping on features. (freeware)

Nice job ckit!!! Thanks!!!

KingTermite · 12-04-2003, 08:46 AM

I haven't used it myself yet, but a co-worker highly recommends this program and we are about to start integrating it into some of our scripts at work.

It's called BLAT, and its a command line email program to let you email messages to people (or groups of people) from a prompt/command line.

We plan to use it to do nightly automated procedures and email results to groups of people....also to have certain events in programs trigger to send email notifications.

http://www.blat.net/ - download from here

http://blat.freeshell.org/faq/ - BLAT FAQ

http://www.dynamic.net/support/nt/blat.html - more examples how to use

Best of all (according to co-worker) it has source code and is Public Domain.
