Recommended FREE Software (for WinXP and/or Vista)
NOTE: I cannot, of course, take any responsibility
for any damage or other trauma that the following programs may cause to your
computer and you download them and use them at your own risk. However, all of the programs listed below are
ones that I have used for over a year and found them to be virus-free and they
have not harmed my computer.
PC
Inspector File Recovery will restore deleted files (if you haven’t
over-written the deleted file by saving other data). It is highly recommended that you download
and install this BEFORE you need it.
Acrobat
Reader is the essential tool for reading PDF files—be sure you have
the most recent version to avoid errors when loading PDF files.
PrimoPDF will create PDF files
from any program that can print. It
installs as a separate printer that you can select in the printer dialog box as
the target printer and it will print to a file.
(Note: nitroPDF pro is not free;
look for PrimoPDF which is the free version.)
IrfanView is the best picture
viewer around with almost every feature you can imagine; be sure to get the
“plugins” as well. It can re-size
pictures, save an image in a different format, do batch conversions, adjust
picture settings (e.g., brightness, color tone, etc.) and now you can even use
some basic tools to touch up images (e.g., add text, draw shapes, flood fill,
etc.).
DoItAgain is a macro recording and play back
program. WARNING: These can be dangerous if you accidentally run
a macro when you are in a different program!
However, if there is a set of actions (either mouse or keyboard actions)
that you have to do over and over again, this is a handy program to record the
actions once and then play those actions back with just the click of the mouse.
Audacity is a great program for
editing and manipulating WAV and MP3 files.
VLC is a great (albeit
complex) program for watching video of almost every variety, including DVDs.
SUPER (scroll to very bottom of the SUPER page for
the download link) is a great program for converting video from almost any
input format to almost any other output format (e.g., convert from FLV to MPG,
etc.).
WinKey is a convenient program
that lets you assign programs or tasks to Windows-key combinations (e.g., start
Microsoft Word by pressing the ˙+W). (NOTE: The software is no longer available
from the original developer who discontinued its development in 2005, but, it’s
still an awesome program that works great.)
SXC-HU is a great web site
(sorry, it’s not software) for finding royalty-free images of just about
anything by simply typing in what you’re looking for—after you have an image,
you can use IrfanView [see above] to make it exactly what you want! (BEWARE:
The first row of pictures displayed after a search are links to the not-free
pictures that you have to pay to use.)
