Windows Applications

Someone's own list

• Pixie - a superb, no-nonsense color picker
• MS Paint - great for drawing, comes standard with Windows. If you want a bit more, try Paint.NET (photoshop’s too expensive and complex)
• Convert wav/mp3 to amr for Nokia 6021.

• FreeProxy - can’t live without this one in a corporate environment
• Fiddler - A SOAP debug tool, but also great as HTTP monitor tools
• http://www.blunck.se/iehttpheaders/iehttpheaders.html - If you’re in IE, and starting fiddler is too much work…
• IE Developer Toolbar - Evaluating beta 2 (2006-02-15)

• Diamondcs - nifty little utilities like httpget and uptime
• Sysinternals - the bsod-screensaver rocks and the PsTools is a great TaskMan replacement. Much more to be found here…
• curl - retrieve URL‘s (http, https, ftp) from the console.
• cmdow - Commandline Window Utility. Hide buttons from Windows Taskbar (or use Hide-it, mentioned under “Other”)

• WinMerge - a nice diff-tool (for three-way merge and a lousy GUI use KDiff3)
• HTML Tidy - Command-line utility to clean up and pretty print HTML/XHTML/XML
• SoapUi - Automated test-tool for SOAP. Generate test-cases from WSDL and also perform load-tests.
• exec inline - for Visual Studio 2003. Select text and press button (like F5 in SQL Query Analyzer)
• inspect - Win32 DLL inspect (and more)
• Bitmap to Icon 3.5 - handig.
• Generate INSERT statements - SQL Server 2005 (2000 version)
• Fogbugz Bundle - a plugin for issue-tracker intergration for Visual Studio.

• Partition Logic - resize partitions and more
• TweakUI - I don’t like tweaking too much, but this one is just all right. Also available for XP/2003.
• CutePDF Writer - create PDF files by printing to this PDF printer device (needs Ghostscript)
• FinePrint - create booklets (A5); this is buyware (is there freeware?)
• Hide-it - hide windows and keep them hidden.
• PureText - WinKey+V = Paste-as-text
• Launchy - Quicksilver-like application starter for Windows
• WhyReboot - displays postponed delete/move operations and RunOnce actions.
• Unlocker - bestandenlockergernisoplosser
• http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon - mount iso images as drive
• SIW - System info (oa wachtwoorden bekijken)
