Mike Ryan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well, if you are here chances are that you use Paint.NET, often. So here is my question: what other programs do you use on a daily basis or what programs do you think are essentials? For instance, a few months ago I discovered defraggler, and soon after I found Ccleaner. These are MUST have programs for any Windows user and I cannot imagine a day in which I am not using them. To the Moderators: I searched and did not find a thread similar. I apologize if this has been posted before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The topic calls for programs, sabrown... Following the format of BoltBait: Daily Firefox 3 Windows Live Mail Paint.NET Inkscape MediaMonkey Notepad Almost daily OpenOffice.org - Writer, Impress and occasionally Calc (MS' Word, PowerPoint and Excel respectively, and would be if I had Office) FastStone Image Viewer/Windows Photo Gallery CCleaner MyPhoneExplorer VLC Media Player Calculator Adobe Acrobat Reader 7-Zip PNGOUT Every so often ProDesktop Audacity Windows Clipping Notepad++ 4OD BBC iPlayer Opera IE7 - I can't be bothered to have a 'rarely' subheading The GIMP That be about it, more or less. I do have more applications installed; none worth the mention, too trivial or a given that I use (anti-viruses).

becauseilearn Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 No one uses Irfanview? It even allows the use of Photoshop plugins, and has for several versions. Before I found out about Paint.NET, it was the only image editing program I used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3VENGE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 well i dont use pdn much no more but ill use it now and again to create my ps3 themes well my list: rocketdock firefox 3 i tunes pdn gimp and other stuff not worth mentioning like anti virus stuff etc Quote psn id: R3V-fiR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think not many people know IrfanView What I commonly use (not in any order): CCleaner µTorrent FireFox Opera Windows Live Messenger (personally had to hack it to be able to install it on XP x64) Windows Live Mail (same) M$ Visual C# Express 2005 (also have 2008, but it complains a lot for some reason) Notepad++ PDN of course CFF Explorer Liquid XML Studio (nice but full of fatal bugs, and seems like it's written in C#) Daemon Tools Pro Wireshark DivX converter XVI32 (hex editor) 7zip x64 VLC VirtualBox x64 Unlocker WinAmp µAmp x64 Reflector (Lutz Roeder's .NET reflector) UltraMon x64 (if that can be called 'using') RenderMonkey LateNite (you'd have a hard time finding it with google, it's an IDE for z80 assembly) Brass (z80 assembler) PindurTI (TI 83(+) emulator) VolumeLogic (though that really can't be called using.. it's been discontinued so if you want it, you'll have to get the torrent, it's abandonware anyway) (Windows XP Pro x64) and my own programs probably missed a thing of two.. and of course there are lots of programs that I have that you can not "use" (like games, and passive things like AVG) Quote I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

ShadowsOfTears Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 FF3 PDN(it does open DDS files just not NIF) WMP PowerDVD MediaMonkey Picasa2 Irfanview Unlead PhotoImpact 12 Blender Nero AVG anti-virus Kea Coloring Book(for my daughter, nifty little coloring book, and its free ) I use 3 different music/movie programs. PowerDVD for movies obviously, and WMP and MediaMonkey for music. MediaMonkey is kinda neat and it reads tons of file types, but its buggy and sometimes slow.
