Shareware that don't have freeware replacements
sri:
f0dder: Rapget is a dedicated manager to download only from rapidshare, not any others. Also it lacks several features that other standard DL managers like Internet Download Manager, FlashGet have.
Carol: PSTF isn't like FBE (which, by the way, I also use).
PSTF will collect the specified tray icons and arrange them all under one. Check out this small flash movie:

It will remember which icons you want managed by it and will present you w/ a nice clean tray every time.
Carol Haynes:
True I had forgotten it did that too - but to be honest I got irritated using it as it just adds clicks and leaves stuff loaded without actually seeing what is there. I actually prefer to see what is in my tray at a glance and to access it with a single mouse action. That way I remember to exit stuff! - plus it is quicker to access applications.
I use FBE to access folders - sorry I think I was getting it confused with PS HotFolders !

Interesting thread, although at first I thought from the title that it was about shareware that didn't have any freeware replacements. Comparable or better freeware is a more interesting subject. :up:
PSPad has been mentioned, and Notepad++ can also do this (through regex, as was pointed out).
I've never used pstrayfactory, but AFAIK it hides systray icons? I don't know other tools that does this, although I've got this feature in my shell, LiteStep (technically in a Litestep module). But I guess that's kinda "cheating" ;)

i'm not sure whether it's the same but discussions about tray utilities are quite popular here at DC. maybe in one of them, there could have been a mention of a viable freeware alternative to "PS Tray"..

Would seem to me if anyone does make a freeware tool that will put all the icons in one list then PStrayfactory will very quickly disappear, seems way too much to pay for that functionality in my opinion,
