Firefox is somewhat of an opposite of Opera. When you’ve downloaded and installed this browser, you will find a piece of software doing little more than browsing the net. You’ve got a bookmark manager alright, a password manager, but there’s no email client. Firefox is what you call a ‘slim’ browser initially focusing on one single task: to browse the net.
Without doubt – our favourite. Possibly for all the wrong reasons – as ImgBurn comes with a very Spartan, minimalistic look and feel.
Most certainly our first choice. The most impressive capability of this program is its tolerance toward read errors on your probably old (and sometimes dirty) Audio Disks. Very rarely indeed will that result in an error in the sound file as Exact Audio Copy (EAC) interacts very closely with your hardware. On first use a fine tuning is performed to achieve the best possible results, and alas, sometimes, a CD/DVD drive may not be supported.
If you want to play a movie or listen to an audio file, if you want it simple, easy and clean, if you just want it to work ...
The main feature list of freeCommander is a complete wish list for any decent filemanager, as a matter of fact for any filemanager that may rightfully be called: excellent!

Do install Spybot Search & Destroy! It is very easy to use, offers an Easy Mode for beginners, real time protection and an on-line tutorial. This tutorial will help you to understand many of the tasks involved with securing and protecting your PC.

This freeware has its origin as an ersatz, a replacement for MS Paint. The features now entitle it to be classified as advanced image and photo editor. The interface is simple, intuitive, and impressive. It presents the pics you’re editing in tabs that display a thumbnail preview of the image.
This functionality can be extended by plugins, which are provided and maintained by the Paint.NET community. There you also find an extensive help, and many, many tutorials.
This one is not for the immediate beginner. First get your feet wet with the ones above, find out what image editing is about, what you like about it, what you want to do with it. Then come back. The GNU Image Manipulation Program – GIMP surprises with an unusual user interface which is adventurous at least for those learning the basics of image editing. It will take you a while to realize its benefits - which will be easy when using this professional image editor under Linux.
Why is my new hard drive full?
Where has all the free space gone?
A rule of thumb many of us found to be true over the years is:
Any hard drive will be full up to 90% of its capacity within three months completely independent of its factual size.
Our tool of choice. This freeware offers a simple, intuitive and well organized interface. On start-up you decide, what you’re going to scan: a complete drive or just a folder structure – a folder tree – on your hard disk. After the scan – which can be saved for reuse - a two pane window opens, giving you the well known folder tree view of your hard disk in the upper left, and in the right pane a depiction of the used space in a form of your choice – a pie or bar chart, or a plane table view. So on first glance you see immediately your biggest folder on your hard drive.
Another excellent tool! The scan of your hard drive is displayed in a combined view. The program window is split threefold. In the upper half (left) you find the tree view integrated in a sortable table view, so you can easily find the biggest folder, biggest files, folders with the most files etc etc. This window also integrates basic filemanager functions, and allows you to open the selected file, delete it, or access its properties – yes even open a dos prompt here! Of course, you can use your filemanager directly from within WinDirStat.
If you are the minimalist type, RidNacs is your program. It offers a “sortable folder tree bar chart table view”, informing you about the tree/file sizes, percentage of usage, and number of files. A right click on an entry lets you open this entry in your filemanager, and do with it whatever you wish.
In November 2002 the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven – University of Technology – approached the problem of representing folder/file sizes in the folder tree view.
