SyncToy 2.0
Beta
These days
its not uncommon to own two or more PCs, and if
you have family members under the same roof,
they probably have their own machines as well.
Why not create a "backup network" that leverages
everyones hard drives? All you need is the beta
of SyncToy 2.0, one of Microsofts free PowerToy
utilities. With it you can create "folder pairs"
between PCs, copying files between them with a
single click. This is a great way to sync, say,
disparate photo libraries between your PC and
your spouses, and create a backup of both in the
process...more

Daemon Tools Lite
Version: 4.12.3
File Size: 3074KB
License Type: Free
Operating Systems: Windows Vista, XP, 2000
It's a real pain--not to mention slow--to
continually swap CDs and DVDs out of your
optical drive. It can take up to half a minute
for your drive and Windows to mount a disc.
Gamers who must leave a copy-protected disc in
the drive in order to play a game are especially
affected. If you spend a lot of time swapping
and hence waiting on CDs or DVDs to mount,
Daemon Tools Lite is worth its weight in gold.
DUOtris
Version: 1.02
File Size: 4757k
License Type: Free
Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows XP
What if
the Russian programmers who gave the world 'Tetris' in
the late 1980s had access to psychedelic drugs? The
result might have been DUOtris, a free game which is
much less of a Tetris clone than its name indicates, and
is in fact a fast-action game of exploding colors with a
surprising degree of strategy.
Pitaschio
Version: 2.23
File Size: 61k
License Type: Free
Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows
2000
No matter how much you love your OS, there are always
things it could do better, more efficiently, and more to
your taste. With freebie Pitaschio (yes, that's spelled
correctly), making dozens of Windows tweaks is as simple
as checking boxes. You can snap windows to a grid. You
can disable troublesome keys like Caps Lock, Insert, and
the Windows key. You can disable minimize, maximize, and
close buttons.
AceMoney
Lite
Version: 3.10.2
File Size: 1812k
License Type: Free

Windows 9.x
Are you always asking "Where does the
money go?" If you're brave enough to find the answer,
AceMoney Lite will give it to you. The tool tracks your
spending habits, generating a report by category or
payor/payee. For example, you can generate pie charts
that show how much money you spent on food, hobbies, or
books. The program also lets you create and manage
budgets, with more than 100 predefined spending
categories. Finally, you can track the performance of
your investments, be they in a 401(k), stock options, or
an employee stock purchase plan. You don't need to enter
stock quotes manually, either: AceMoney will download
them from the Internet.
iTunes
Library Updater
iTunes has some built in problems For example, you could
accidentally import songs twice. Do this too often, and
your library will be overrun with duplicates, or, you
could throw your library into disarray by deleting or
moving songs on the hard drive. iTunes may not be able
to find files. This leaves dead tracks in your library.
Unfortunately, iTunes has no easy way of correcting
these problems. But there is a solution. You can use the
iTunes Library Updater. This free program will clean up
iTunes for you!
