Mouser's idea of Donationware -requests- money, but does not -require- it.
Shareware -absolutely- requires money, often with threat of legal action.
Mouser seems to have hit on a new paradigm between freeware and shareware. OK, I see that the nature of the "requests" irritates some people, but they still don't have to pay anything, and payment's what I take to be the prime criterion for shareware or commercial software.

Folder View http://www.folderview.com/folderview/ is freeware, and enhances Explorer in several useful ways to help find often-used folders easier. It's very configurable, and I've found it quite useful once I got used to it.
It "rebounds" back to the last item that you opened in a folder. You no longer have to browse through the file listing for a particular document you were working on before - the list scrolls to the last opened file.

For instance the fact it requires a default reply-to address, which makes it nigh useless when working with multiple accounts... It seems old-fashioned and clunky to me, and I would certainly choose Thunderbird over it, and possibly even OE.-m_s (November 11, 2005, 05:11 AM)

the moment we have a nag that cannot be removed until you dontate, or limit features, then the program ceases to be freeware.As a personal comment: I think the problem with donationware is knowing how much to give. If I give a couple of dallars I feel rather stingy, but if I start giving $15-20 I start thinking 'do I really need this program?' and as a newcomer to the site I also wondered 'is there a cheap commercial version' or a 'free' version with no expectation of a donation? Don't misunderstand I think donationwar is a great idea but it takes some adjustment in the mindset.-mouser (November 15, 2005, 04:53 AM)-CarolHaynes (November 15, 2005, 05:34 AM)

a program that could sit in the system-tray and which would, on a mouseclick, drop down a list of running processes, so that the user could simple click, say, a red x to close any particular program or process? Where would this be useful? Well, I would find it handy for-m_s (November 14, 2005, 05:15 PM)
