gaim - an opensource instant messanging client. If you are used to aim the switch will be very easy and you'll love the lack of ads and added features.
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Firefox - everyone knows by now, but it should be on the list. Free browser.

Those are the two I use every day, there are others I may add later.

Just curious .. Spybot tells me when ever somethin writes to the reg I think. Does Regprot do the same thing or does it do more?

Thanks

Don't forget Karen's Power Tools

I use Karen's Replicator For backing up my system to another Hard Drive.

Space Cowboy, I wasn't aware that Spybot did that. How do you set that up?

When an entry is written into the reg, RegProt pops up and tells you what is being written. You have the option of clicking Yes or No. It's a real small utility, and you never know it's running until a change is made to the reg.

It may be that Spybot only warns you for added startup entries.

I'm not sure?

I don't have access to my computer right now so will have to get back to ya on the settings..


Very nice and small FTP Client .. I've been using this for a few years and it works great

I don't even have IE on my system and it works for me?

Still though I don't think it blocks all registry entriies. But everytime I try and install somthin spybot goes crazy and keeps poppin up askin if I want to allow whatever it's doing to happin.

This deserves to be mentioned. I've always liked CCleaner.

USE WITH CAUTION !!! Not Recomended unless you like livin on the edge

XPize is a resources transformation pack for Windows. It replaces most of the non-XP icons, avis and bmps that Microsoft has always overlooked. The installer simply automates the process of replacing resources in critical system files, making your XP's look better. XPize is compatible with Windows XP, 2003 and MCE Editions.

Version 3.0 ships with an optional Royale oriented look and also with the "i386 Patching Feature", which lets you create a XPized Windows installation.

I've been using this for about 4 months now and LOVE IT
