I tried other FOSS accounting programs and I'm really liking HomeBank. The first thing was to configure a Checking account from the previous month and it was pretty easy. Other softwares did not allow me to enter in month old transactions without a lot of hassel or not at all. You can create your own categories in addition to what is provided. The interface is easy to use and is well laid out. It has bar, circle, and time charts. I check the accounting values with my statements and the math was exact. Even performing a transfer from Saving to Checking check out. This is the most important for any accounting program! Everything else is a bonus. So, I'm pretty happy with HomeBank!

This is a great SQL utility and has been around a long time. It has all the functionality and supports all the latest databases; MariaDB, MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Interbase and Firebird. If you a user of any of these databases then this program can assist in the creation or modification of any SQL database. I've have been using HeidiSQL for years and has proven to be my go to program which is reliable, is being kept up-to-date by the author.

I used to use another program that would follow TV shows for me, but the author abandoned it so I tried DuckieTV. If you want to use Duckie I HIGHLY recommend you set up the optional Track.TV integration. This is where Duckie gets its data from. Log in to Track TV and create a watch list of your favorite shows, and then follow the instructions in DuckieTV to link to Track TV. This makes sure you get the most accurate updates to the Duckie Calendar. A bit of work, but well worth it. Duckie also allows you to create a backup database that can be installed in another copy of DuckieTV on a different computer if you need it for another TV location, or are setting up a new PC. Make sure you set the background images to be a little dark so that you can read the calendar. A little learning curve for all the settings, but well worth it in the end.

Just a note that the is a newer version of this program on their main site 4.0.1.5 (08.02.24). If you have devices on your network that you want to know if they go down or their unable this program is a way to get updates instead of guessing. You have clear indicators if that device (i.e. NAS) is not able to be pinged. The Network Indicator is RED and you can assign Sounds or Show a message. The Pro version is better for business but their free version is great and easy to configure for anyone to use. Enjoy!

Nirsoft's NetworkOpenedFiles is another great tool to help track network related issues and potential bad guys moving files across the network. You can change where files are looked at either from your computer or from the network by pressing F9 for Advanced Options. Pretty awesome!

EditPad Lite is an editor whose main purpose is to replace Windows Notepad, and it does that very well, adding a few extra features. It is free for personal use. If you expect more than that, you are in the wrong place.

If you prefer WinXP-style cascading menus, this is the program for you... It has many skins available, almost endless configuration options, and still works beautifully, even in Win11 ...

I'm using Windows 11 in 2024 and this software is still amazing! I've never tried it before, but I needed something and almost bought a program. This one is free. I almost didn't try it since the last reviews were in 2011. Since it works great, I thought I'd leave a review in case anyone else was leery about trying it.

There are other programs like IDM that are good. However, I chose to buy IDM because it is a complete download manager, with several features, configuration options, an easy-to-understand interface, it works efficiently, the support works, and the price is fair.

First of all, downloading/updating was a nightmare. I've tried 3-4 times. And when the program started, there is no FREE option to record the sound from the screen, only from mic. Sorry... but... uninstall!

I wanted to trim off the front of a video. I set up the trim marks, then the app would automatically switch and trim the end of the video. I repeated the steps many time. 100 failure. I then shut down, tried over and tried starting from the last first so not repeating same problems. I attempted to trim, the lines jumped and again cut of the wrong end. I gave up. I jumped online, searched trim video. Found one that looked appropriate. I loaded video, set trim lines, clicked save. Took 10 SECONDS. I spent over 1.5 HOURS FUSSING with LOSSLESSCUT. The program is TERRIBLE, does not have intuitive settings, has a mind of its own, and long learning curve for what it does do. Repeating, I gave up. I wasted over 1.5 hours on LOSSLESSCut, and did the job in less than 30 seconds with a free online service. LOSSLESSCUT is GARBAGE and needs a redesign.

I have been using this software for well over a decade and it has been invaluable for storing information and keeping up with what needs to be done. I have been very pleased with the upgrades and the integration with Google made it even better. My two top features I use is the calendar and notes function.

I've been wanting a software that would do this for 24 years now, and I finally stumbled across this. Darkens everything but the window your working on. You can click on the taskbar and the whole screen dims with just the taskbar lighted. This program comes in real handy at night. Very little resources used. I haven't fooled with the options yet, I don't think I need to. I wouldn't know how to anyway, since it doesn't explain how to set them, or I may be stupid. Anyways I love it.

I updated to W10 and discovered that my Canoscan 8600F would no longer work. This was because Microsoft, in all its wisdom, decided that it didn't want me using Twain modules anymore and that I should buy another scanner. This program bypassed MS's nonsense and allowed me to use my scanner again. Unfortunately, NAPS2 shuts down the twain module after I only do one scan. I have file folders of documents that I need to batch scan and that limitation prevents me from doing so. Because of this limitation, I can only recommend this program as a last resort. If you want to do batch scanning, download Irfanview which does allow batch scanning. It even autosaves the scans.

HandBrake make it easy to do video conversions. They keep updating the software so it is good to see that that author is maintaining it and adding features. It has tons of video setting to match the type of video devices you may want to play a particular video on, so cool. Great Utility!

Nirsoft has updated their easy to use tool for uninstalling software. The interface is simple to follow with some visual preferences for displaying the rows in different shades. If you want to get things done this tool is for you. No install necessary and supports both 32 and 64 bit platforms. This utility can be run from a USB stick. Enjoy!

A wonderful tool to help remove applications from your system that are no longer needed. O&O has really made it easier then Windows Program and Features to remove software, especially Windows apps that are never used. The program doesn't require installation and so just click on it to run. Also, recovering extra disk space is always a plus. ;) Two-Thumbs Up!

There are several PDF file manipulation programs, most of which are good. PDF Shaper is an example of a very practical program, easy to use and with sufficient and useful features. It stands out as one of the best and it's truly free (without "fine print" and surprises). Congratulations to the developer.

Just what is the point of having this software? My scanner does every bit of that without me having to install another program, and I'm sure most modern scanners do too.

I criticized a previous version of this program because it did not support actual cascading menus, as I required. However, I eventually contacted the author and discussed this and several other issues with him, and he put a significant amount of effort into improving the program... it now has options for true WindowsXP-style cascading menus, and many other options as well. I was incredibly impressed with how much effort he put into updating the program for my requirements, and we had several useful discussions about various aspects of how the program might operate. I highly recommend this program now!
