Glad you volunteered ;D
Justin
P.S. I’m just kidding, but the collection could use a good sorting I think.
hear hear 
ps: not volunteer…
Strangely useful
Standalone search submission utility that show page previews and simultaneously searches for pages, images, on ebay and at Amazon.
How do I do that? there are so many requests the most I could do is put them all in a text file, send them to the Comodo team and create a new wishlist ;).

If I knew I wouldn’t have volunteered you ;D. The last one was compiled by Elfstone, posted by Melih.
No problem, it needs to be compiled anyway, I compiled Wishless v2 and Elfstone compiled v3, now its time for v4 to be compiled.
I went ahead and closed the v4 wishlist, I will make a v5 wishlist after I’ve finished compiling v4.
Then I will move onto the Comodo Antivirus wishlist.
Looks like I have some work

Vista Transformation Pack
Vista Transformation Pack will give to your Windows XP system the new and cool look of Microsoft’s future operating system: Windows Vista. The pack changes most of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements to your desktop such as a dock bar or a different system tray clock
You forgot one important thing though , It is required that you have your original XP installation disk for this thing to work…
The trans pack overwrites certain files in your system…
Not only for gamers. I have a system that travels mobile. It’s not a laptop, because laptop is waaaay to expensive and limited-expansion for my need. Not to mention not rough enough. So it’s a small-ish desktop PC with all-steel casing.
Since it has a biggish hard drive (80 GB) and no audio files (e.g. MP3s, OGGs) will go into it, I have acres of HD space to burn. Partitioned it into 20GB and 60GB, and rip all installer CDs used in that PC into the 60GB space as .iso images. Now the system can travel anywhere and I don’t have to carry any CD except the RyanVM-integrated Win2003 CD. If the worst happened, I can just hose the 20GB partition and install everything from scratch.
I’ll post my fave freewares shortly after I finish reading the whole thread 
I know this is old but…
For my ‘alarm’, I use foobar2000 with the foo_scheduler component. Then I create a playlist full of hard rock songs and heavymetal songs. Then I configure foo_scheduler to play that playlist at the exact date/time I want. Then I crank the volume up to 11. Then I go to sleep.
Never fails.
Okay, most of the freebies are already listed in the Collection. Some corrections:
- You listed firefox twice
- You misspelled Bulk Rename Utility as Bluk Rename Utility
Now for my goodness:
EverNote - Integrate all your note in a freetext database with a papertape interface. All notes are fully-searchable can have multiple categories. Surely beats keeping a bunch of .txt files for your notes: They are not searchable, and you’ll have a royal pain trying to categorize them.
In addition, EverNote also can “clip” text from documents, spreadsheets, even webpages and emails, with the formatting (and images) intact, and also provide a link to the original source.
Totally utterly ultimately changed my life!
MP3tag - IMO the greatest tagging program. Despite its name, it is not limited to MP3s only, but also Oggs, WMAs, AACs, M4?s, MP4s, etc.
Launchy - Instead of spelunking up and down the start menu, just type the keywords and this program provides you a list of matching programs. Just select, and next time your keyword will default to this program. I rarely use the start menu nowadays…
MediaCoder - converts between various formats of audio files.
OptimFROG - ultimate lossless compression for audio (.wav) files; because it is lossless, it decompresses perfectly, i.e. will not change what you hear. Very slow though.
WavPack - if you don’t need ultimate compression ratio, you can use WavPack which still provide quite good compression but does it a whole lotta faster.
Ogg Vorbis - not really a utility, just a public domain, open, patent-free, and royalty-free format that is far far far better in quality and compression than MP3. Use the Lancer Vorbis suite to encode your audio (.wav or CD) into the Ogg Vorbis format: The Lancer suite is extremely optimized, very fast. You’ll end up with a file that’s smaller than MP3s with better quality.
www.ryanvm.net - not really a utility, but a site where you can get the latest bugfixes from the last MS Service Pack release - and integrate the bugfixes into Windows installation. Saves a lot of time downloading MS’s bugfixes. Very useful for corporate (i.e. multimachine) deployment. Site also contains “add-ons”, i.e. programs you can integrate into Windows installation. Which means that when you install Windows using the “enhanced/augmented” CD, not only will you have a Windows with the most current bugfixes, you also don’t have to install those programs one-by-one. Use the “RyanVM Integrator” free utility from that site.
HashCalc - freeware GUI-based hash (MD5, SHA1, CRC32, whathaveyou) calculator.
dvdisaster - CDs and DVDs are prone to scratches and cracks which will make you lose your data. This utility is able to create Error Correction (.ecc) files which you can carry in a USB disk. With the .ecc files, dvdisaster can recover your lost data.
InfraRecorder - freeware CD burning. Also capable of ripping a CD into an .iso image.
Burrrn - freeware audio CD creator. Supports MP3s, Oggs, etc. as its input.
Allway Sync - very good, easy-to-use synchronizer. I use this to synchronize files from my home pc to my USB disk, from my USB disk to my office pc, and back again.
GnuPG - Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), the freeware alternative to PGP. For a WindowsUI interface, use GPG4Win. You can integrate GPG with Thunderbird using the Enigmail plug-in.
MediaMonkey - another audio player. If you’re an organizer-freak like me, you’ll love its very systematic and organized presentation of ALL audio files in your hard disk (you can limit its search to certain folders).
FreePascal - who says Pascal is dead? With FreePascal, it is not dead; it is alive, cross-platform, and very fast, to boot! Also use the free Lazarus graphical IDE - which looks very much like Borland’s Delphi. I found programs written in Pascal to be easier to understand, easier to maintain, and usually bug-free by the third compile. Quite unlike C/C++, which are usually still not bug-free by the 50th compile…
Okaaaay, I think that’s all for now. These are the freewares I actually use on my PC. I may left some inadvertently, and I don’t list what’s already listed. I’ll see what I can dig up later…
I just updated the collection fixing the issues you posted and adding all of the programs you suggested.
Justin
Interested in converting all your DVDs and family Videos into dvd quality, yet small in size files. Then this is the tool for you. It has an easy to use user interface unlike some of the professional (yet free) programs like virtualdub. This is developed by the DivX labs itself and you can find help in their forums.
The best theme windows has ever released for XP(for me it is :D). It’s a Windows vista lookalike [blackish brown] and yet it’s very light.It was released for the Zune media player yet it’s free. You can direct download it from here
I can’t believe I forgot this one:
HTTrack - offline browser utility; which means that if you feed it a URL, it will try to download the contents of the website, HTML-graphics-and-all, including other pages linked to from that URL. You can specify how deep & how wide it sucked the web. Downloaded pages can be “refreshed”, i.e. checked for updates.
I now remember, there’s Webaroo - http://www.webaroo.com/ - same goals.
Never used it, but heard good things.
Just now remembered this…
Wanna install XP without all the trouble …(Now where did i Keep my office CD…Oh man I gotta update yet again) ya…the list never ends…
this tool will help you to create one cd/dvd with all your favorite programs. You can even enter your user information like name, country, etc to the unattended cd. You just have to sit and relax when the installation starts. And the good thing is you can use this in any computer you want…Help is available in their forums…
Free Useful Programs collection has been updated.
Go and watch all your favorite tv programs. Don’t know how long this will continue though…
I have updated the Free Useful Software Collection.
P.S. Thanks for that link, it will be very useful to me and many others I’m sure
The collection is nice. However I just realized that it is very hard to find unless you browse this thread.
Could someone edit the first post to include a link to the collection?
And Justin, I hope it’s not too much a burden, but I suggest when you post that you’ve updated the collection, you also include a link to the collection in your post.
Cheers to all! The collection is growing into something of a reference in the Internet; I’ve spread the link far and wide. And hopefully people will also try to see what Comodo is, try it, and fall in love…
