  1. eWatch (watch all details of traffic flow in browser)
  2. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers where I manually bundle Java and Tomcat.
  3. TortoiseSVN + configure to integrate with Araxis
  4. Adobe Photoshop 7.01 - Small and light and does everything I need compared to the newer editions.
  5. Tail for Win32 - Nice tail utility which can watch files. Got it from Dimitri.
  6. JAD (JAva Decompiler)
  7. WinTask - Record Windows actions as macros. Great for repetitive testing of websites.
  8. Notepad++ - Recommend by Shawn. No installer required. No install necessary. There is also an option to make it portable so nothing is kept in the registry. It's on their FAQ. More neat options,
    1. "Alt + Left Mouse Click" puts you in Column Mode Select
    2. To select columns without using the mouse use ALT+SHIFT and the cursor keys

LDAP

Browsers

  1. JXplorer - recommended by Shawn who's a PKI expert so it must be good.
  2. Softerra - first one I found, did not like or understand it much, most likely will use JXplorer given Shawn's recommendation... eventually remove this off the list.

I am still trying to find a good one. http://www.razorsql.com/download_win.html - what I have tradtionally used but no Visual Query Builder. http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ManagementTools - looks promising

Power User Utilities Usually (Not Installed Until Needed)

  1. cpuz - find details on your memory speed ect...
  2. Partition Magic - When in a pinch this is good to re-partition stuff.
  3. Acronis Imaging - I used to use Ghost but you can nolonger create a simple boot disk. Acronis you can.
  4. Virtual Clone Drive - Mount an ISO file as a CD-ROM. Free and no spyware.
  5. AC3Filter - When playing video that only has 5.1 Digital Audio the automatic downstream to Stero Surround sound sometimes has issues with the voice channel (the middle channel) being too low where you can not hear the voice acting. Example, for Star Wars Episode IV - Revisited and even dvds you might rent. The following settings work for me: Main (change Master and Gain), Mixer (change Voice, Surround, LFE), Gains (no change), Equalizer (no change),SPDIF (no change), System (no change).
  6. Empty Recycle Bin - Empty your Windows XP recycling bin with a shortcut key. I hook this up with Winkey. Looking for a Vista version.
  7. Wink - Super easy way to capture screen clicks and turn into flash movies. Great for giving a visual tutorial.
  8. HTTrack - Use it to easily download an entire website for offline viewing. Open source and it allows you to define levels (how deep to go into the site) and limit external sites crawling. Links are also automatically adjusted for local viewing. In the 90's I used Teleport Pro which even back then was more feature rich. I have not looked at it since though.
