FREE Great Programs for Windows 7 [2]

Folder Colorizer

Folder Colorizer is a nice free applet to play around with. You can download it at Phone Stick, Folder Colorizer, Memory Optimizer, Volume Concierge and others.

I earnectly request Brink to add it to his list.

I haven't been able to get on the site.

Maybe try again - I have no problems getting onto the site and it is a well recognized free application.
It's only an app if you need to calibrate your monitor for consistent output for printing photos or web display. As I said before I find the inbuilt MS capability very poor.

Win CDEmu is another great CD emulator that mounts .iso images... I didn't see it on the list...

WinCDEmu - the easiest way to mount an ISO. And more...

Hum Brink didn't notice the ADWCleaner there or the free BitDefender the latter is very picky though. Maybe is because the ADW is from bleeping computer?


AdwCleaner Download


Free Antivirus Software - Download Bitdefender Antivirus Free < very quick and light on but like I said "picky"

I noticed comodo firewall was up on that list, should add comodo internet security up there also. They have a free version of it which is the download to the right called comodo antivirus free. Has two other paid versions but the free version is pretty good and comes with a anti virus and there famous firewall. Antivirus - Download Free Antivirus Software From Comodo

I think it already is MIG as I might have added it a while ago but I stand to be corrected. Oh nad be VERY careful with those utilities they can be very intrusive and hard to get rid of. I mucked up my latest test machine for a while with the cleaner feature.

I have since switched to the BitDefender free - very light on and no nagging . Free Antivirus Software - Download Bitdefender Australia Free Edition

the program Types should have a warning that it can make a system unbootable an unrepairable. I just did a full reinstall because it changed the file association for ALL .exe files.

Ouch, downloading and merging the .reg file for the EXE option in the tutorial below may have been able to fix that without reinstalling.

[Britton30]

Well Shawn, IE is an .exe file too, as is regedit, Task Manager, system restore....
Believe me I tried it all, even a repair install could not fins a w7 installation. Safe mode wouldn't start with the install media. I have it all back to normal now though. (normal in my world )

Oops nasty. No image to restore?

 

[Britton30]

Well, it was an image from a fresh install with updates and a few programs installed. Kari's idea, I think.

 

[kado897]

It's applying the hundred odd updates and necessary programs that puts me off a clean install.

 

[Britton30]

Yup, me too. Kari's idea was to do the install, updates, drivers, and thenl your software but don't make a User account, then it's still pristine from the image.

 

[kado897]

It's a good idea. Next time I'm forced to do an install I will do that.

you might also want to try Bandicam instead of CamStudio. the file size is much smaller and seems to work much better in general

Do you have a link for it?

[Britton30]

Ahh, it looks like it a free trial and costs to use.

 

[GmWisp]
