1.) Gadwin Print Screen – This neat little program allows you to print-screen shot and capture the activity happening on your system if you’re trying to document tech support issues, making a how-to guide/presentation and need illustrative pictures or show other co-workers what you’re looking at for comparison purposes.

  1. WinRAR is OK, but it can’t match the flexibility and power of 7zip.

  2. Probably the most worthless article I have read from geeks… most of the stuff he is spouting is crap, and really doesn’t help.  tyr defrag 2 and eusing registry fix… those are a must have for free software on a computer.

  3. A very cool app is “Keepass” - another freeware/open source application to keep track of all your passwords.  This, together with DropBox, you can share an encrypted password database between all your systems - home, work, laptop, Linux....

  4. A great list of useful apps, I even preinstall some on my clients computers but there is one thing I also offer my customers thats not on the list. You mention Microsoft Office as a vital element for any computer but it also comes at a cost of $100+. Its for the reason I often recommend Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/) to people as a free office solution. It has all the features of MS office and in some cases is actually better at restoring corrupted MS files. If anyone hasn’t looked into it, or maybe looked at it years ago, I highly reccomend checking it out.

  5. Good article. I use a couple of these apps myself (VLC, Handbrake, etc). Although, it’s funny considering most of the apps are built into my PC (personal computer) at the OS level with Mac OS X.

  6. I prefer Alcohol 52% Free Edition. It works just as well as 120, just with less virtual drives.

  7. You need to check out portable application - add these to the list as they can be loaded onto USB and go with you.  Good article too.

  8. Although I’m sure you already might yourself, I always suggest Mozilla Firefox as well.

    ANYTHING to save yourself from Internet Exploder. wink

  9. Problem: I tried to create a factory recovery disk for my Lenovo ThinkPad but it failed. Now, when I try again and I click on Create Recovery Media I get this message: “You can have only one copy of the Microsoft Windows operating system. The Product Recovery Media Creator will exit now.” My thoughts. Lenovo
