+Fates Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I wanted to start this topic to discover what little program you use that is free and you use often. Something that is a useful utility that assist with everyday computing.

+Brain32 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Well for me it's GOM MEDIA PLAYER Plays pretty much everything, it's small, compact and has all the options I want, add some codecs and you will rarely need anything else...
+JediMaster Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I use DVDVideoSoft, Notepad++, and WinMerge a lot. http://winmerge.org/ Also I use Calibre for my Kindle, which isn't everyday but still very useful. http://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows
DARoot Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) You will all laugh .... Well, go ahead .... The Utility Program I use most often is "Paint Shop Pro" v. 6.0 or so. Downloaded free, years and years ago. [i'm now on like day 1,678 of my free 30-day trial period, but it still works a treat, and I use it every day, with every sim/wargame/computer program I'm still running]. Some things never go out of style .... DARoot Edited July 12, 2012 by DARoot
+Wrench Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 one that Fubar told me about, that I use is CleanUp http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=69 removes cookies, deletes temp files (you all know why!!) frees up disk space
+Stary Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 oh the freeware PSP version, had it for years too DARoot!
Jug Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I kinda like the Regular Expression editor called Expresso and the Linq editor made by Microsoft called LINQPad.
+whiteknight06604 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 some really great and useful stuff so far. I was hopeing that someone would post a utility that was mentioned in a post prob 5-8 years ago and that I just can't seem to track down. it was a program tat compaired text files and hilighterd the differences. Apples to oranges or something similar was in the title.Anyone remember that one?
+JediMaster Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 LOL, that's what the one I posted the link to does, WinMerge!
+whiteknight06604 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 JM I don't think thats the one I was thinking of but this looks like it should be great so thank you for the heads up.
+JediMaster Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Oh, I figure it's probably not the same one, because when I got WinMerge a year or so back I was also looking for a totally different program. I only have vague recollections of it, other than I believe the two files had different colored backgrounds as you looked at them. It was nowhere to be seen, though, and I found this one readily enough and it seems to work for the limited stuff I've done so far.
+Major Lee Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 RKill is a handy squash running crapware programs so you can deal with them utility... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/
