anyone.
I definitely haven't made the full transition to an
online office suite but I'm 90% of the way there thanks to Google Docs.
Even with such serious competition from the likes of Zoho, I've found
Google Docs to be reliable, fast and definitely enough for my needs.
Because I write a lot, I would love to see some form of online spell
checker, but the sharing ability, ease of use and organizational aspects
are just amazing. Whether you want to use this for serious team
collaboration or you simply need a 'note taker' that is accessible from
anywhere, you could definitely benefit from this.
InFormEnter: InFormEnter adds a small, clickable icon next to every
input field in a web form, from where you can select the item to be
inserted - no typing required. You can configure it to display your
frequently used information such as name, email, address...
Online
forms are one of those things that are time consuming but always
necessary. We see them everywhere don’t we: Blog comments, Shopping
site, checkout carts, Website registration forms…and everywhere in
between. There are a few possible solutions to this issue, but my
favourite is definitely InFormEnter. This
Firefox plugin means
that I can fill in any field of any form in literally two clicks,
especially handy for blog comments and other forms you tend to fill in
regularly.
Revo Uninstaller: The Uninstaller tool lists the installed programs
and components for all and current user. With a choice of views, as well
as a context menu, information on program components is available:
program properties, their registry entries and links to manufacturer's
web site, for a start.
The "Search" option finds installed
applications just by typing the first few letters of their name. Revo
Uninstaller Pro scans for leftovers with even more advanced algorithms
that are so precise, fast and very effective in search for leftovers of
Windows Services, Drivers, File associations, Shell Extensions, COM
components, Windows Installer components, program settings and more!
WinRAR: WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your
data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and
other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and
ZIP file format. RAR is the native format of WinRAR archiver. Like other
archives, RAR files are data containers, they store one or several
files in the compressed form. After you downloaded RAR file from
Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use it.
WinRAR
provides the complete support for RAR files, so you may both create and
unpack them. If you installed WinRAR on your computer and downloaded
RAR file from Internet, you may double click on RAR file icon to open it
in WinRAR, select all files, press "Extract To" button, enter a
destination path and press "OK". Another way is to click on the RAR file
in Explorer using the right mouse button. If you enabled "Shell
integration" option when installing WinRAR, the file context menu will
contain "Extract to ..." item.
SafeMSI: is a tiny, portable, freeware application designed to let
you uninstall programs in safe mode. When the computer is in safe mode,
the Windows Installer service isn't started so most programs can't be
uninstalled. It is also not possible to start the service manually, an
error message will come up saying "Could not start the Windows Installer
service on Local Computer. Error 1084: This service cannot be started
in Safe Mode". This tool will do a registry tweak so that Windows
Installer is made a safe service and it will launch the Windows
Installer service. The tool is meant to be used after you are already in
safe mode, it is a tiny .exe that just needs to be double-clicked or
run and it runs very quickly.
WinKey: Many of us don't like our mouses: Not only can they cause
repetitive strain injury, but they can slow us down. This program
returns you to the "old school" of computer operation by helping you
create keyboard shortcuts to access your favorite programs, documents,
and files. Once you've made a shortcut, simply press your desired key
combination to launch your program. This tool supports up to 200 key
assignments, giving you lots of choices and room to grow.
I'm a
fan of using keyboard shortcuts. WinKey allows me to set shortcuts for
commonly used programs and files so that they are only one keystroke
away.
VisiTimer: is a fun, new, freeware countdown timer app for Windows that
you can use to time anything from baking a cake, taking a break, or
rationing out time for kids to do things like play video games or use
the computer. The coolest feature of this timer is that you get
a visual representation of how much time is left as it counts down in
the form an image or shape being "filled-in" or "painted" progressively
in a radial sweep pattern in synch with the set time as it counts down.
This makes it great for teachers or parents of young children who can't
yet comprehend the concept of numbers counting down as time passes, as
well as for those who just want a quick visual indication of the time
passage without having to waste valuable mental resources processing
numbers.
