Hi,

While posting the important software, could you also give the links to their webpage respectively..

'cause that's actually sufficient for finding most of 'em. Expect for maybe a few of the more obscure ones. Especially if the product names is used by more than one company/vendor/developer.

I run a fair amount of what's already been posted but I also could not live without Y'z Dock and the tons of pngs for it I've collected.

Nero Burning ROM
WinRAR
MSN Messenger
Sygate Personal Firewall
Partition Magic
O&O Defrag

aim
foobar2000
kazaa
mirc

Everything already stated plus Ad Muncher.

I got carried away

and how did that help?

Trillian, K++, Y'z Shadow, Daemon Tools, Partition Magic, BitTornado, RealPlayer (For all my South Park), Reshack, Resource Tuner, HEdit, Goldwave
