Photivo

Not intuitive.

Powerful yet not for novices, as it has a steep learning curve.

Calme

By far the best of the lot

This Java based programme is extremely easy to use, and the packed templates are very easy to customize. Choose the calendar template you seek, and then customize various aspects of it from the sidebar (margins, images used, font, colour etc.)

Comodo System Utilities

Rudimentary application

What it lacks: 1. An uninstaller 2. A registry defragmenter 3. Duplicate file finder 4. A hard drive 'doctor' It's good for an average user only.

Greenshot

Good but not great

It lacks a magnifier and a floating bar. Other than these two key features, it has all the features I could think of. Perfect for a USB flash.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

Not that effective

It's recovery was just at par with that of the freeware Recuva. I wasn't impressed as it managed to recover 89 files from my Bin, while another shareware found 138 files, and completely recovered them.

GeoSetter

The best geocoder

It's the best geocoder. At first look it feels a bit overwhelming, but as you settle down you realise that it's loaded with rich functions that make other tagging tools simpleton. The author has done a great job!

YoWindow

The best screensaver

It's the only weather forecasting software that allows one to use one's own image as the background animation. I've recommended it to my mates. My favourite weather application!

MjM Photo Recovery

It saved the day

My friend accidentally formated the MicroSD card while fooling around with his Nokia mobile. He brought forth his predicament to me, as he considers me tech savvy (which I can assure you that I am not). The first software that I used to recover the photos was my all-time favourite, Recuva, and to my utter disappointment it failed to find even a single file, even with its deep-scan option enabled. Then read the review by 'dpqbdp' and used this REMARKABLE freeware, and presto: 268 JPG images recovered, and out of which only 16 images were corrupt. And now my friend has promised me a pack of Cohibas.

PNotes

Almost perfect

Finally a virtual sticky that bettered my all time favourite post-it notes software, Stickies (by Tom Revell), by being really low on resources when idle.

Window Ruler

Nfty tool for quick checking.

I use it more than often to see the actual sizes of the 'resized' images on the monitor. A nifty tool in every amateur photographer's arsenal.

AIMP

Almost on a par with Winamp

Those who are hooked on Winamp, would love this wonderful Russian audio-player too. It utilizes very low resources, yet houses some rich features that even an audiophile would appreciate. Give it a go.

RarmaRadio

The only radio player you'll ever need

I have been using it since it was a freeware. The only drawback I feel is that of the interface. A face-lift is needed, other than that, it is the best in the business.

MediaMonkey

A very effective music manager

It's a very effective music manager. At first instance it seems a bit intimidating but once you get a hang of it, it's far better than .... Give it a try if you have a large collection of music files.

Good file manager

The major con, even when it is idle it hogs a whopping 30 MB.

Privatefirewall

Free top-class security

It passed all the PC Flank tests. The training is a bit cumbersome, as it is with all the other firewalls. Coupled with my Eset NOD32, it's a great internet security tool.

Orbit Downloader

Not what it used to be

After using it as my default download manager for 3 years, I'm forced to say that it is not what it used to be. So find something else if you intend to download files greater than 400 MB.

Winamp (Full)

It's a hall of fame entrant

I have been hooked up on it since eons. The best audio-manager an audiophile can have.

VisualRoute

Excellent shareware

Though it's on the expensive side for such a utility, nevertheless, the mapping feature just provides hours of entertainment. The interface needs some face-lifting in order to be at par with the current software. If money can be spared then this software should be on the list of a power-user.

Xion Audio Player

Good but not great.

It's a very nice audio player for an average listener, but definitely falls short of catering to a serious listener. The skins are interesting, but not all components of the player get skinned. The plus point is that it uses very light resources.

NoteZilla

The best "sticky"

I've used numerous sticky utilities and somehow I am always unsatisfied, but this one's the ultimate sticky application. I can safely bet that you would not need any other.

ACDSee Pro

Extremely powerful photo-manager.

It is far better than Adobe's Lightroom, but if you don't have the latest and greatest PC then you'll have to live with somewhat sluggish performance. Nevertheless it is still my default image-viewer.

A world-class utility with lots of features, and that too free!

XnView

It's image-viewer is almost fast as windows internal image-viewer. It has all the necessary features of a top-class image viewer. However, I would like to see a "black" skin in its future version.

Transporter P2P

Very nice freeware.

It's very easy to use. I tested it and liked it, it's a very basic communication-tool.

IZArc

It beats the rest by miles.

I have been using it since version 3.1 appeared on the scene. And ever since then, it's my default compression tool. At times it (version 3.81 build 1550) does fail to open password-protected RAR files. I hope this minor glitch is fixed in the next build. It's a must-have, so don't wait, download it now!

ZipGenius

Compression tools champion.

Although I'm a staunch supporter of IZArc, I'm still compelled to say that ZipGenius is a must-have for every power-user. You will not need any other compression suite. The Italians are the FIFA World Cup champions, F1 champions, UEFA Champions Leaugue champions and now the Compression Tools champions!

jetAudio Basic

Very impressive indeed.

I gave it a test, and it fulfilled all of my needs without any hassles. Over all it's a great media-player. And to be honest it's very difficult for me to decide which one is the better, WinAmp or JetAudio. JetAudio has all the plug-ins bundled in, whereas, WinAmp relies on 3rd-party plug-ins.

Although it is very basic, yet it can create very nice text banners in SWF format. Moreover, it can also export the result as a GIF animation.

It's the ultimate application launcher for a power user. A must have for every keyboard user!

Lock My PC

Excellent.

It locks the system without any leaks. Moreover, it can even lock the CD/DVD trays. Personally I like the feature of displaying a VIDEO while the system is locked. Although "1st Security Agent" has more features, this software is much more simpler. Give it a try.

BlazeDVD Professional

Very good indeed.

The plus point of the player is that it is very light on the resources as compared to the giants like PowerDVD and WinDVD. I didn't experience any choppy results. Give it a try, it might become your default DVD playing software. Very efficient work by the Chinese coders.

BitMeter 2

A superb bandwidth monitoring utility.

It has all the features that a bandwidth monitoring utility must have, including a "click through" feature that enables a user to click through the graph. The only drawback in my view is that it takes a lot of memory (from 17MB to 35MB on my PC).

Show review details License: Free Details...

CaptureWizPro

The best of the rest.

I have tested a number of screen-capturing utilities but this is the one to which I revert again and again. It can also capture screen action to video file (AVI). I wish it had a freehand capturing tool too. This is the niftiest of them all. Go for it, you would not regret.

WebRipper

Very nice freeware.

Though it has not been updated for quite sometime, it still is a very nice image-downloader with basic features that an average user needs. Definitely a worthy download.

ClipMate

Super clipboard.

It has the most extensive features of any clipboards. And surprisingly it was easy on resources. The skinning feature is a plus point.

PicaLoader

Very nice image-downloader.

I have added it to my arsenal of image-downloaders. In my view, the interface needs to be a bit perked up - but the software does its main objective with finesse.

Sarbyx TrayClock

Excellent.

It's a worthy replacement for the tray-clock. Give it a shot as the skins are impressive and it's light on resources (about 2.5 MB). However, a time synchronizing feature would had been a plus point.

DiaryOne

Excellent digital diary.

The interface steals the show. It's the most impressive software in its league. Though at times it seems to munch up a lot of memory (particularly when images are inserted in pages), but that's not a big deal. The Chinese coders have done a wonderful job!

All My Movies

Very good indeed.

It's a very comprehensive movie database-manager. Its interface outshines all other movie-organizers. Having said that, I'm still hooked-up on EMDB since it's much faster (although very basic) and it fulfills all my needs.

Backup4all

Thumbs-up to the Romanians!

A wonderful application, it has all the features necessary for a backup-utility. It can even backup "open" files. If a backup-utility can backup Agnitum's Outpost then it's a worthy download. And Back4all did that!

Strangely it failed to display the license keys of softwares that were "unzipped". Personally I jot down every license key in a spreadsheet file for later reference.

Ashampoo UnInstaller

Very tedious.

All though I like Ashampoo products due to their speed, this one fell flat on its face. The snapshot method takes ages as it scans the directory structure before the installation of an application. This is the 1st uninstaller that I've "uninstalled" from my PC.

Star Downloader Free

Excellent downloader.

This is my very first download-manager. I upgraded to the Pro version (version 1.52 which also has a leecher) and have been using it ever since. I think almost three years have passed and it is still my default download-manager. It also has a built-in unzipping feature. The only two drawbacks I feel it has is that it supports just two protocols (HTTP and FTP) and that there is no automatic shutdown after the completion of a download session.

Atlantis Word Processor

The best!

It's a really compact and fast-loading word-processor with all the features that an average power-user requires. There are no drawing-tools and tables, but who needs them anyway in word-processing. I've been using it since version 1.5 appeared. The updates are without any hassles. One can also save a document in a 256-bit encryption file-format (COD).

EMDB

Nifty movie database manager!

At less than 1MB and free, this software is a definite download. It manages movie-collection in a very effective way. It sorts the collection in a variety of ways and provides a nice searching feature. The only con is that all of the fields are not visible (if screen size is 800x600) when adding a movie.

WinPatrol (Free Edition)

Nifty start-up manager!

This is the best start-up manager. I've used numerous others but I always revert back to it. This should be the very first application that one should install after Windows. At the moment I'm using the latest PLUS version (WinPatrol PLUS v12.0.2007.2).
