0 CoolCatBad Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Office Application: JelloDashboard http://jello.wordpress.com/ There are many great applications out there to organize your tasks and your life using GTD. But when it comes to Outlook, a very popular application which manages mail, time and contacts, a user has only the option of plugins designed for GTD. Let?s face it. We all are reluctant to leave our favorite application and use another one just to manage tasks. And then? Another application for emails, another one for tasks? It can be really confusing.That?s why I developed Jello.Dashboard. It?s just a homepage for Outlook, easy to install and use and totally free. # Create and manage contexts and projects # Assign any type of Outlook item to contexts and projects # View your appointments and tasks with due dates # View your favorite Outlook folders from inside the dashboard # Define @Review and @Reference folders for email organization # Search for any type of Outlook item # View helpful lists of Outlook flagged and unread items # View all your items in a comprehensible Master list which you can email and print # Control dashboard?s behaviour through user settings # Inbox management including assignment of related folders to context and projects Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/522081-freeware-alternative-list/page/3/#findComment-588270689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CoolCatBad Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Photo manipulation and image design: Panorado Flyer http://www.panorado.com/en/index.htm?PanoradoFlyer.htm Panorado Flyer is a small, yet very useful tool for linking JPEG image files to the location where the picture was taken, using geographical coordinates. Technical metadata as described by the EXIF standard can contain fields for GPS data, like geographical latitude/longitude, altitude, and track. The Panorado Flyer tool enables you to get the coordinates of the place where the picture was shot and insert them into these fields. Later - on a few mouseclicks again - you can make Google Earth "fly" you to the location!

0 CoolCatBad Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Anti Spyware: WehnTrust http://www.wehnus.com/products.pl This gives you ASLR protection, which is implemented in Vista. WehnTrust is a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that provides secure buffer overflow exploitation countermeasures. WehnTrust implements Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) for Windows. While ASLR is a common security measure for UNIX-based operating systems thanks to the PaX Team, it has not been widely implemented for, or deployed on, Windows. When implemented properly, ASLR mitigates nearly all exploitation techniques.

0 CoolCatBad Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Partition Managers: DriveImage XML http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm DriveImage XML is an easy to use and reliable program for imaging and backing up partitions and logical drives. The program allows you to: # Backup logical drives and partitions to image files # Browse these images, view and extract files # Restore these images to the same or a different drive # Copy directly from drive to drive # Schedule automatic backups with your Task Scheduler Image creation uses Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services (VSS), allowing you to create safe "hot images" even from drives currently in use. Images are stored in XML files, allowing you to process them with 3rd party tools. Never again be stuck with a useless backup! Restore images to drives without having to reboot. DriveImage XML runs under Windows XP Home, XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 only. The program will backup, image and restore drives formatted with FAT 12, 16, 32 and NTFS.

0 CoolCatBad Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 General Utilities And Other Applications: Command Line shell http://tp.lc.ehu.es/jma/win95.html # If you are a power user you probably use old DOS or new Win32 programs designed to be run from the command line where the corresponding options are indicated. To start with, many file maintenance jobs are far easier when using command line utilities and batch files. The "user-friendly" way to do many simple tasks (comparing two directories or copying to the disk the relevant modified files of you current programming task, for instance) is boring and error prone. Unix-like filters also are still very useful. # Any advanced user has a lot of command line programs in her system, but if you do not use them very often it is not always easy to remember the right option to do something. Cmd Line Shell is designed to be a shell for any command line program. # It provides a common, easily configurable, GUI look to any program which takes its options from the command line. # It will help you to prepare the command line and launch the external program. (You may also copy the command line to use it, say, form a batch file.) # You do not have to remember the syntax: the available options and their use are displayed. # You may easily search through your system for the input and output files. # Your favorite options may be set as new default.

0 CoolCatBad Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Desktop Enhancements: Shell Tray Info http://www.voidnish.com/articles/ShowArtic...e=ShellTrayInfo The Tray Icon Info application lets you enumerate your system tray icons and rearrange their positions, so that you can have your more frequently used icons positioned to the left most side (or right most depending on your personal preference). I wrote this as I got used to having the MSN Messenger icon on the left most side of the tray and found it annoying and inconvenient when newly added icons pushed it to the right. I had to exit and restart MSN Messenger to reposition it where I wanted. This application simplifies things for me.
