No site does as good a job of helping you choose a freeware tool for a specific task than Gizmo's Freeware (otherwise known by us old-timers as Tech Support Alert).
The site is simply unrivaled in terms of recommendations for freeware, and if you ever find yourself asking what the best free windows utility is for a given task, it's *the* site to visit.
In each well-organized category, top alternatives are reviewed, rated, and ranked, and then discussed by all -- and reviews are frequently revisited and updated, which is a rarity.
In addition, Gizmo Richards himself has also long been a friend to freeware authors, helping to shine the light on new freeware tools, and a friend to us from the early days, helping to tell people about DonationCoder and our software -- and I am extremely honored to have had some of my tools recommended on the site.
I can't think of a better site to receive the first entry in our list of our Favorite Websites.
Mars Project Stage1Mars Project Stage 1 - v1.0.61230.15 - December 30th 2006
What is Mars Project Mars Project is a long term project, to be a replacement for the Ares Galaxy P2P network focusing on chat instead of file sharing. It is being developed in multiple stages, so far only a few stages have been planned out. Each stage will be fully usable. Stage 1 Stage 1 is an Ares Galaxy compatible chat server, it works with the Ares Galaxy official client. Stage 2 Stage 2 is separated into 2 sub stages. Stage 2a will be a custom Mars Server which will NOT be compatible with the official Ares Galaxy client, but instead will use it's own client. Stage 2b will be the custom client which will be compatible with the official Ares Galaxy server, and also be a client for Stage 2a. Plans on the stages for the file sharing part of Mars Project hasn't been made yet. |

AD SearchWHAT IT DOES:
This program allows an administrator to navigate and search Active Directory, to retrieve only the objects that are of interest. The search refers to should be returned in a query, not what should be query should be looking for, ie this is not like a search in Windows Explorer, that will search folders and subfolders for matching results. (However, this may become part of the feature set in a later release). Yes, there are other tools out there like this, but the reason I did this particular program is because it is something I needed to learn as part of a larger project. This is also, my first ever C# .NET application - which began as a proof-of-concept program about 3 months ago, approximately 1 month after taking up C#. Previous coding experience was limited to Borland Delphi (7 to 2006), so this is a big change for me! Having become very excited by the challenges that real object oriented programming presents, I am now studying to become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer!! |

Fixed Run DialogFixed Run Dialog - v0.97ß - December 15, 2006
Program Description: Fixed Run Dialog is a minimal enhancement to your Windows desktop. It will add a 'command box' that can be always on top or not. It acts just like the Run Dialog, which you would get by clicking 'Start > Run...'. Fixed Run Dialog can handle all commands that you normally enter in the Windows Run Dialog, plus more! You can define custom commands for your frequently used applications, documents, folders or websites. You can set the Fixed Run Dialog command box to be transparent (customizable level of transparency) to make it less obtrusive. The command box is quickly accessed by pressing a (customizable) global hotkey like CTRL+SHIFT+R or WIN+A for example. This application is aimed at people like me who don't like to use their mouse so much. The application is fully customizable to suit your personal needs. Features:

Backup Revision FolderEver made a mess of a file by saving something you were not meant to, and not being able to undo the disaster you created.
I have, lots of times. so i went in search on google for a simple 'incremental revision save' of files. To my dissapointment, most systems just seemed to complex for what I needed. I don't work in a team, or have the desire to setup up a client/server. Booking In and Out is not required. and I don't always have access to the internet. I just wanted something really, really simple. To work as a standalone, small, single user. Did I mention Simple, like 123 simple. It can do two things that will monitor a file for changes. -Create a new file in the same folder as 'Backup Revision Folder.exe' -Create a link from the tray menu, (the link is actually stored in the same directory as 'Backup Revision Folder.exe') Features What File Revision Folder does when executed and running
You can now continue to work on your original master file, knowing that there is a version saved to a backup folder. You can run Backup Revision Folder.exe straight from a Thumb drive folder, which means it will save a version of the changed file to the current machines mydocuments folder. (or configured location) |

TPClockDescription
The program is a substitute for Windows clock in notification area (tray). Needs a bit training to use, though. The colours are adjustable. Looks good also on XP view, and in Win9X. The time can be displayed in hint of TPClock. (The thing between Thunderbird and ZoneAlarm, of course. Now the seconds are displayed on top so it's 17:21:54) |
