Quite so. I am running ObjectDock on Windows 7.

Kado I know I am just really a ordinary plonker but does it make any difference if so what? I am just curious.

 

[kado897]

I wouldn't think so. The storage it uses is more dependant on the program than the OS.

Did not see this one in your list.

AndreaMosaic Download

You can create a mosaic of 1 picture out many other pictures. It's pretty neat! and it's free.

Added ANOMEI Backupper and ANOMEI Partition Assistant Standard to the list.

The description of IrfanView leaves out two of its most important features; its graphics editing abilities can be applied in bulk and it can be used to do bulk file renaming. When renaming, it can be set to sequentially number the new filenames in a specific range and number of characters. I use the renaming feature far more than the graphics editing features.

I like Introduction - Bulk Rename Utility for bulk (batch) file renaming, it's in the list already.
The GUI is a bit fiddly but has many variables one can change.

WARNING If you download it do it VERY slowly and keep an eye out for the add ons make sure you decline them all as you go through the pages. see pic for finished app / gadget

A couple of baby programs to help parents.

First up:

Owlet Baby Care | The Wireless iPhone Baby Breathing Monitor

This is an iPhone app that in conjunction with an ankle sending unit, the parent can monitor the baby's vitals from their iDevice; Heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature, sleep quality, and sleeping position are all available in one view.

It is on a pledge system with 14 days left.


Next:

(Windows) Baby Smash!
(Mac, IDevices) AlphaBaby

Baby Smash essentially locks down the entire system and consumes the screen. While it’s running it shows up as a fullscreen application, but it also disables several well-known Windows hotkey shortcuts. The Windows key, CTRL+ESC and ALT+TAB shortcuts do absolutely nothing. To further clarify, if they are pressed nothing at all happens. The application doesn’t minimize, close or disappear. Only two shortcuts work: ALT+F4 to close the program, and SHFT+CTRL+ALT+O brings up the options menu. While it can happen, I’m willing to bet that no child is going to simultaneously press ALT+F4 so you’re in the clear there. It’s also worth noting that the CTRL+ALT+DEL shortcut still works.

Source, a review from: [Windows] Protect your system from harm when used by little children with Baby Smash | Reviews, news, tips, and tricks | dotTech

I can see a secondary use for this one if the user has pets that "love" to be around a keyboard and you have to be away from your machine.
