GigAlarm – alarms, timed shutdowns, daily wallpaper changes

This software is invaluable. It is written in machine code to is really compact, 251 KB so doesn’t load down any resources.

You can set most programs to run at given times. I use it to run YPOPS (see other post) on a daily basis so I don’t have to remember to start the program myself. I also use it to shutdown my computer a few hours after I have started a batch process before going to bed. It can also wake up the computer and check emails etc and then shutdown again before I wake up if I need to get them first thing.

Handy I tell you.

Rocket Dock – launch like a mac does from a cool line of icons

Rocket doc looks a lot like the mac style of program launching. So you can have your favorite programs all in one place that pops up when you roll over the part of the screen you want it to.

This is the link to their download servers as their main site is currently down.

Launchy – alternative to searching through program files

This is a great program that you activate by pressing ‘alt + spacebar’ then you type the name of what you are looking for and it quickly shows you matching program names that match what you have types.

YPOPs – allows pop access to Yahoo mail

This is a great piece of software that allows you to receive yahoo mail directly into your regular pop3 style email client.
So much easier than checking all your emails in different places. Comes straight to you inbox with all the others.

Freemind – mindmapping

Fantastic software, used it forever. Its possibilities are endless for organising everything you do. I always use it to plan websites before I write a line of code.
It can be used on anything from a shopping list to a training manual as well.
