3. Mike Lin's Startup Editor (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) - A Better program than "msconfig" it allows you to disable all the things you dont want to at startup, it shows lots of things and is one of my favorite programs of all times. **FREE*

4. Dreamweaver MX (http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/) - Best HTML and Web Page Creator Ever, it has allowed me to make the Black Hawks (http://www.bhhq.com) website.

You have seen mine, now lets see your favorite programs!

Neat website. I'll have to agree with you on Fraps and Dreamweaver. Both awesome.

I'll also have to go with Winamp.

Though the program I probably use most at of all, is Finale: http://www.finalemusic.com/. I have the full version, as you can do little with notepad :( For those who don't know, it's music notation software.

[Derfud]

Photoshop 7, we all know what that is used for.

Maya Personal Learning edition (http://www.alias.com/eng/products-services/maya/maya_ple/index.shtml) - Use maya for free!

All Seeing Eye (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye) - Great program for finding online gam servers, though I'm sure most of us already use it.

[Onizuka]

Guys, just a quick question; does making a website with Dreamweaver involve coding? 'Cuz I can't code worth crap, want to make a website, and think that Frontpage is only mediocre.

[Derfud]

Dreamweaver = frontpage on crack.

[Neon Apocalypse]

i dont like all seeing eye, it doesnt "see" all the servers that the browser that comes with the game sees

ps7
winamp
irfanview (plays almost any medie file there is)

Avant Browser (www.avantbrowser.com) - Great browser and better then Internet Explorer and any other browser that I've tried.

Photoshop - Image editing and makeing :duh:

I also like Daemon Tools, technically the program itself is legal, lets you mount CD images so you don't have to burn 'em. Fanceh.

[Vick]

Omfg seriously?

[JetRaiden]

StrokeIt (http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/). Not only is this program called StrokeIt, which is funny, but it's actually very useful. It allows you to draw letters on the screen with your mouse and then performs some action based on that. For example, you draw a W and it will open your web browser. You can make your own actions too, and it has different actions depending on what program you're currently using. So maybe W opens IE while you're in windows, but while you're in photoshop it opens a new file (don't ask me why you'd use W for that, but you could). It can also learn new symbols, so you don't even have to use letters if you don't want to. Oh yeah, and it's free.

Alcohol 120% (http://www.alcohol-software.com/). This is by far the best tool ever made for backing up your games. It can write and read every major CD image format. It can create mulitple virtual CD drives on your computer and mount image files too them. It beats deamon tools hands down.
