- HoeKey* - Make use of that Windows key and many other key combos. Here are my keys combinations.
- PureText* (Strips away formating when you paste using Winkey-V) As there is no install,
- Copy to the directory of your choice
- Start the program and it will appear as a PT icon on your system tray
- Right click the icon and choose options
- Check the box to "Automatically run PureText each time...."
- Araxis Merge 64-bit - Best diff tool I have ever found. (disable Ribbon Interface, check do not show splash window, add folder filter to ignore .svn folders and make the default encoding UTF-8 No BOM). DetalWalker looks promising and cheaper.
- WinRar 64-bit - better than winzip (does all the same stuff with zip files) plus allows you to create self-extracting splittable files and has a superior compression format called rar.
- Erase - with a right-click you can securely delete or move confidential file
- Disable running of scheduled tasks
- VMWare Workstation - allows you to virtualize operating systems. If you do not know what this means you are missing out.
- I map the host apps and vmdata folder and then generate c:\apps\ and c:\vmdata\ symbolic link using,
- mklink /D C:\apps Z:\apps
- mklink /D C:\data-vmshared Z:\data-vmshared
- I map the host apps and vmdata folder and then generate c:\apps\ and c:\vmdata\ symbolic link using,
- Metapad* - almost as tiny and fast as notepad but with unlimited undo's and a couple of other nice features. However, I do find I use notepad++ more often now.
- Snagit - screen capture utility. Most used feature, autoscroll, which scrolls to capture all contents of a window.
- FastStone - similar to Snagit but portable.
- Quick SFV 64-bit - use md5 or sfv files to ensure integrity during transport of files
- Synergy - Control multiple computers from one keyboard and mouse over your network.
