To use it, you simply launch the installation program from Total Uninstall interface and select the system areas to be monitored. The program will then create a snapshot of your system before it installs the new software and an additional snapshot after install completes. It then compares the two snapshots and displays all changes in a graphical tree view, marking all registry values and/or files that have been added or changed. Total Uninstall will save these changes and if you decide to uninstall the application, it will reverse the changes to the previous state.

I use this one regularly and highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, the author has removed the download page for the freeware version.
Thankfully, it has been archived here:

I prefer the look of it to the way Firefox looks.

Other than looks as far as I can tell it's basically a difference between the old 4.x Netscape Navagator and Netscape Communicator, one was a package, the other was a single program.

I think its funny how everyone obsesses over firefox! i mean it is a FANTASTIC program compared to internet explorer...but for the people who haven't tried Avant Browser, or Maxthon Browser....they're missing out!

I've tried many web browsers and came to the conclusion that those two are absolutly the best!

But keep them on the hush...i don't want too many people to know about them!

My List Top Five (in order from best to least best)

1. Maxthon
2. Avant
3. Firefox
4. Opera
5. IE

That's my two bucks

Fold 'n drop: a new way of interacting with your windows

How many times have you been in this situation? You start to drag a file with the intention to drop it on a specific window... then after painfully crossing half your screen (stupid finger pad!), you realize that your target window is hidden by zillion others. You stop the drag and drop operation, minimize or close all the cumbersome windows, and start the drag and drop operation all over again. Not cool at all in this era of UI gadgets. Pierre Dragicevic has a very nice way of solving that specific problem: fold 'n drop. An implementation for Windows XP (with C++ sources) can be downloaded here. Another cool gadget on the same page is the SpiraClock, displaying all your outlook events on an analog clock.
