What are the softwares you love to use and can't live without?
Mine (Not in order of importance):
Hi-Net Recorder- For recording those pesky streaming files, but it doesn't always work.
Windows Media Player/Realone/DivX Player/Quicktime- How else am I going to watch movie clips?
Winamp- Accept no substitute. However, I play just single files on Realone, so that my Winamp's playlist doesn't get erased if I associate mp3's to it.
American Heritage Dictionary- I can't tell you how much I love this software--it's got definitions, history of words, Thesaurus, and real human voice pronunciations..etc.
ACDSee Classic- Fast and simple.
Compupic Pro- For perfect zooms without any pixelation--much better than ACDSee 4.
XnView- Gives me the best compression/quality for pics.
Advanced Disk Catalogue
Ad Aware- Damn all that spyware shit.
Cute FTP Pro
Dreamweaver
Final Draft 5- I'll never write another screenplay in MS Word.
Kazaa Lite- This thing is like crack. Too addictive for finding good shit.
Nero
Painter 7/Photoshop 7- The magnificent Duo.
Pop-Up Stopper
JV-16 Powertools- For cleaning out all the crap in your registry, and other goodies.
Teleport Pro- Forget about click through a site with lots of good stuff. Just rip the entire site onto your hard drive. Saves time so you can get more work done.
Trillian- I'll never go back to using multiple apps again.
Daemon Tools- Virtual Drive for .bin files. So convenient.
Alto mp3 maker
Download Accelerator- Tried others. Still like this one better.
Winzip- I'm so used to this app that I rarely bother with Winrar or Winace, even though I've heard the other two are better?
Maya 4/XSI 3- The magnificent 3D duo.
Counter-Strike/UT 2003- For relaxing after a long day of hard work.
Norton Antivirus- Saves my ass. |

Well, I used to use Commander Norton in the DOS times, and when windows came out, using the Explorer was really painful.
Today, I can't live without
Win Commander
It has all you could desire in a disk browser utility, and it's just great, period.
