    pdf995 link

    Is it a stand alone program? (as opposed to a cutePDF type program.)

    Well, it needs to be installed as a PDF printer doesn't it? There are some other components avaiable that are part of the 995 suite and that are standalone and some integrate.

      Remus - I added Objectdock and like it quite a bit. Thank you!

      I suggest strongly using iGoogle for your home page too - add all your daily websurf links, weather, news, rss feeds etc...

      Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet.

              I know of a DirectX exporter for SU, but not an importer. IIRC you'll have to use some other conversion app and import that.

                Google Reader

                Not an application as such, but a really useful (and free) webpage for collecting your RSS feeds together. The usual easy to use google type layout.

                  SyncToy

                  A microsoft application that works (so far.) Basically its a syncing application, you select the 2 folders you want to sync, press go and they sync. Very useful for backups and synchronising laptops etc. Also has lots of useful options and very few superfolous options, im pretty impressed with it so far.

                    Truecrypt

                    A highly recomended method for encrypting your data. Free as well.

                      Ubiquity

                          Hopefully this doesnt sound too offensive, but have you actually looked at the link? its a really good app.

                          p.s. It runs on windows as well, so in my book that makes it a ueful win app.

                            honest
                            i thought it was about good win aplications that one wants to tell another because he has tried it already

                              Well i have tried it now, and it is pretty good. A bit rough around the edges, but very good none the less.

                                  Just a word of warning, ubiquity seems to stop flash form working (youtube etc.)

                                    Makehuman

                                    A rather handy modelling program, in which you can easily produce human model meshes that can be imported in to SU (with the help of the OBJ importer.)

                                    I havent kept track of it, but after reading through their blog quickly it looks as if the development team is pretty active. Always a bonus.

                                      Sizer.

                                      A tiny program that allows you to resize windows to exact sizes.

                                      I find it helpful when making screen captures to resize the application before recording.

                                        Q-dir is my pick of the year.
                                        Standalone(yes, it's portable), free, small (<500kb), fast.

                                        A true alternative to the win-explorer it has 4 explorer windows including quicklinks and favorites for dispositions.

                                        Give it a try! It's free and no need to install it. A true usb-stick friend 😄!

                                          I like a few of you guys use:
                                          iGoogle
                                          objectDock
                                          winRAR
                                          ccleaner [the best!!!]

                                          Not a fan of Synctoy, I use allwaysync.
