Do you have Adobe Photoshop? If yes I'm sure I could write an 'action' for you to install which could do this?

I'm suggesting we start a new thread with ways to improve or add new features to this great free software we're finding?

This is a great thread - one thing that I haven't seen mentioned is free website forum software... Is there anything like this available?

Many thanks,

phpbb is free. I think you can get it from Sourceforge

You can get phpbb directly from https://www.phpbb.com, where you can see it in action.

You can also see it at https://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/ where you can get help using OpenOffice.org. Their CD (http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=531#531) also has a lot of the software that has been mentioned. Plus there are USB Keys with software preinstalled.

I know it's been mentioned on these forums, but I don't think in this thread, that the Opera Web Browser is free now too

are we allowed to mention this? Does anybody believe it?

Apart from the Anti-spyware that they bought from Giant a few months ago, there are plenty of others ...

I've only just taken an initial look at their Powertoys
I downloaded Tweak UI, the calculator, and the image-resizer
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Current PowerToy options:

SyncToy
With new sources of files coming from every direction (such as digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops), SyncToy can help you copy, move, and synchronize different directories. Download or learn more.

RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer
Are you a serious photographer? Now you can organize and work with digital RAW files in Windows Explorer (much as you can with JPEG images). This tool provides thumbnails, previews, printing, and metadata display for RAW images. Download or learn more.

ClearType Tuner
This PowerToy lets you use ClearType technology to make it easier to read text on your screen, and installs in the Control Panel for easy access.

HTML Slide Show Wizard
This wizard helps you create an HTML slide show of your digital pictures, ready to place on your Web site.

Open Command Window Here
This PowerToy adds an "Open Command Window Here" context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.

Alt-Tab Replacement
With this PowerToy, in addition to seeing the icon of the application window you are switching to, you will also see a preview of the page. This helps particularly when multiple sessions of an application are open.

Tweak UI
This PowerToy gives you access to system settings that are not exposed in the Windows XP default user interface, including mouse settings, Explorer settings, taskbar settings, and more. Version 2.10 requires Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2003.

Power Calculator
With this PowerToy you can graph and evaluate functions as well as perform many different types of conversions.

Image Resizer
This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.

CD Slide Show Generator
With this PowerToy you can view images burned to a CD as a slide show. The Generator works downlevel on Windows 9x machines as well.

Virtual Desktop Manager
Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this PowerToy.

Taskbar Magnifier
Use this PowerToy to magnify part of the screen from the taskbar.

Webcam Timershot
This PowerToy lets you take pictures at specified time intervals from a Webcam connected to your computer and save them to a location that you designate.

Hi Gromituk

Is that last post aimed at my post or is it for someone else as I dont understand it, sorry!

It seams that the link you provided doesn't display on certain browsers or operating systems as it should. On my system for instance your page comes up completely blank. It appears that when gromituk views it ALL gromituk sees is the text <%@ Language=VBScript %>. It looks like either the page is not beeing processed on your server properly, or that the JavaScript in the page is not cross browser/standards compliant?

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can anyone please recommend a good freeware Password manager and form filler?

I used to use Roboform until it limited free version users to 10 sites. Don't suppose anyone knows how to obtain a copy of the last version before they made this change?

There are several others around including Password Keychain but I would welcome a strong recommendation.

Any suggestions please?
