FREE Great Programs for Windows 7

[swarfega]

is Not free if you want to write Data to DVD

Dunno where you got that idea from, its donate-ware so there are no restrictions.

I'm sorry Coldout, but just where did you read this?

Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly straight out of the box, advanced users will appreciate just how configurable it is.
Oh and let's not forget the best thing about it.... it's 100% FREE

They do, however, welcome donations. Incidentally, I myself used a copy of this program in Vista to place the download ISO of W7 (the version I am now using) onto a DVD, so I can vouch that it DOES work.

 

[Coldout]

Hmm, I was told by my older brother along the lines of ... he couldn't write a data DVD in the free version, said he would have to pay to get the advanced version that allows it.
I will get on the phone to him and confirm. Sorry if I have it wrong, he is normaly reliable on such things, so I thought I'd pass on the info, thinking it was correct.( but then he is getting old ..so I'll try it out myself too.)

Edit. Yea just looking at their site it does look like he has it wrong, god knows what he was using. Sorry for this mix up. I will confirm myself in future, won't happen again.

...I'll get me coat.

LOL, no worries Coldout.

HashTab HashTab... is the coolest thing ever!

HashTab is a Windows shell extension which adds a tab called "File Hashes" to the Windows Explorer file properties. The tab contains the MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32 file hashes. These are common hashes that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of files. Many download sites list the MD5 hash along with the download link. The HashTab makes it very simple for Windows users to check these hashes on any file on the system without using external tools

Works in 32 and 64.

Hi Shawn,

There is a problem with the Adobe Flash Player Direct Download. The file downloads without a problem, but when you run it the following error message appears.

 

[Brink]

Thank you Dwarf.

The direct download link has been removed since it can be installed directly from Adobe's website without problems now.

TreeSize Free V2.2.1

Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system, can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report.

Download Link (select TreesizeFree.zip (Zipped Executable, 970.02 KB)): https://www.jam-software.de/customers/downloadTrial.php?article_no=80&language=EN

Once extracted to a folder of your choice, the executable can be run directly from that folder in either normal mode or by running as an administrator.

Tested and works with W7 build 7068 64-bit.
