Windows 7: FREE Great Programs for Windows 7

For those that, like me, use 7zip but hate how it looks, here's a very handy app that can change both the interface icons and filetype icons on your PC:

7-Zip Theme Manager

Version 2.1 works perfectly on Win7, but if someone decides to download this for XP, use v2.0 instead (2.1 doesn't seem to work).

Wizmouse works on Win 7
Prismatic Software Dup Detector works - duplicate IMAGE detector (mirror, resized, flips etc
Bullzip PDF printer Driver
FeBooti Property Sheets
Faststone MaxView - browse images in zips & rars
LinkShellExtension - junction, hardlinks and symlink tools
GumNotes - associates by window title like Stickies, but a bit easier to use.
Reckonwonder StreamViewer, view contents of alternate data streams
Taskbar Eliminator - hide/show taskbar with Alt/T toggle
PhotoMe - Image metadata vewer
Phil Harveys ExifTool, and the ExifToolGui, hence jhead & jpegtran
z-o-o-m file & image uploader

Daum Pot Player x86 (English)

More info...

PotPlayer (aka "KMPlayer Reloaded") is an amazing free player from the same developer who made The KMPlayer* (*sold to Pandora.TV and now a shadow of what it was). Features include; resume playback from last position , hide mouse pointer, shutdown computer when completed, use own decoders/filters, powerful A-B repeat, automatic playback of all/similar files in a folder, seamless playback (move from one file to the next seamlessly), capture a screenshot, record the file currently playing, and a serious degree of flexibility for manipulating subtitles. Set window size and position on start (no switching like with VLC). It's highly customizable with loads of skins and with your own background images. Like VLC it comes with internal decoders that are able to play pretty much anything, and has internal DXVA video codecs (H.264/AVC, VC-1, MPEG2) and EVR. I'd recommend this to both novices and advanced users alike. It just works, is very intuitive, and for those with greater demands there's plenty to tweak. Available for Windows XP, Vista and 7(x86 and x64).

Even better than VLC in my humble opinion.

Thank you. Added. :)

Always a pleasure

Gotta try out 7-Zip Theme Manager, thanks.

Updated to v. 2.0.0.0. Control-down arrow with Explorer window active centers the window and sizes to 60% of desktop work area. What's new is then the mouse drags the window to enlarge a few pixels. At least on W7 this should reset the default Explorer window size.

I'm just trying this out today. I'm skeptical of Explorer toolbar addon thingies since the ones I've tried before have been flaky. Been using this for a few hours and it seems solid. The thing I really like is I can set it to pick up all the USB drives in docking stations that are powered up. I like to use multiple Explorer windows for drag & drop and this just makes it possible to do everything a bit easier.

Nice freeware.

Shawn, the link for "Beep Codes Viewer" on the first page needs to be updated. Here's the blog post with the link to the program, and more; not much explanation for the action, though:
