Recommend software
The idea of this topic is to recommend software and extensions you've bumped into and found useful or good alternative to a mainstream program.
Here's my advertisement:
Foxit Reader is supa light and fast pdf-reader when you find that Adobe one crashing and jamming and eating your system resources all the time just to lower the huge loading time a bit. (7.0 loads its libraries to memory on Windows start-up if not disabled)
Foxit Reader doesn't work as browser plugin which may trouble some. It's single .exe-file that's it. Free for non-commercial use.

MusikCube is a media library -oriented music player.
The tagging/renaming features are the best I've seen in a player and it has great plugin support, it's effective and very intuitively designed. You can totally see how someone came out to make a player that answers demand.

7-Zip is an excellent packing/unpacking program! It is under the GNU license, so there's no cracking or such needed It's very light, simple to use and I love it.
The only downside is that it doesn't open .ACE, because that is a licensed format. I currently have WinAce installed to open the occasional .ace files, and use this for the rest.

# Supported formats:
* Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
* Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM and DEB
# For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
# Self-extracting capability for 7z format

Firefox is probably the loveliest program ever invented.
I was wondering, guys, if you knew of any small program I could use to edit sound files? I just want a simple program that I can use to cut up .mp3's , that is better than Sound Recorder and less expansive than Cool Edit or any of those big programs.

What about Audacity? I havne't used it much, maybe Rax can give you more details about it, but for me it's very nice and simple =) http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder <3
The hot news is that it seems CDex and Audacity might be merging in some way. I personally like Goldwave (http://www.goldwave.com), but you have to register it.
New antivirus recommendation: ClamWin! http://www.clamwin.com/
It has recently been updated to no longer contain the cygwin layer which seems to have improved its speed and look greatly! I'm very pleased with it so far.

Thumbs up!

Dudes who uses ... or rather wants to use your bluetooth phone with your computer (with bluetooth) must check this software out. It's even better on a mac but, it now works with Windows. And be sure to post your feature requests to the forum, i got my request built into the 3.0.1 version which was really neat

Re: Recommend software
This thread is already pretty long, but I thought I'd like to add some more programs that I find incomparable! nobile's link, by the way, contains several tools that are very nice, including JKDefrag
CDBurnerXP is a very good replacement for Nero, with a sleek interface - granted it's compatible with your burner. ComicRack, on the other hand, is the best eComic reader I have seen so far, and is updated incredibly often.

Re: Recommend software
Here are a few browser-based programs that come in pretty handy. For some reason, Google Docs has never worked on this laptop, it just freezees and does nothing, but I'm glad to find a couple of others alike, I shall try them too http://www.smashingapps.com/2008/07/11/21-online-free-web-based-applications-that-you-probably-would-love-to-use-every-day.html

Three file tools by Piriform Ltd:
Defraggler, CCleaner and Recuva. The first cleans up the registry, the second defrags and the last one recovers deleted files. All free though not open source.

I tried this one once and the only problem was, the scan was really really slow, it took ages and actually I had to abort it since I didn't have the patience

You're right in that the program is slow, mostly due to its hacked-together nature... the UI is moderately poor and it performs less than stellar in terms of speed. Its primary appeal is in the fact that it is open source (a big plus in my view), though, so there probably won't be a change to the better any time soon
