I know its asking alot but hey never hurts to ask

I have been using notepad for the last 2 years and its getting just a little old

Have any names? I don't subscribe to PC Magazine and I really would like to avoid just getting this to try and find it. IMHO finding "freeware" that you have to pay a monthly subscription for isn't really freeware.

so far I've noticed a few differences, I suspect that everything won't be working properly until it's tried on Vista, and then all it's new features will be more apperant.

XnView
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enhome.html

http://www.download.com/XnView/3000-...-10067391.html

The program does much, much more than just convert images (including Adobe formats) into dozens of different alternatives, including commonplace JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and so on.

Once files in those Adobe formats are converted into these other image formats, the Pictures and Fax Viewer built into Windows as well as many other programs will display them. You can find XnView at XnView.com where downloads are free for individuals, but there's a charge for business use.

This software creates a display like the Windows file explorer and lets users select photos, music, sounds and video files for playing and conversions of photograph formats. A batch feature handles huge numbers of conversions at one time. Other features like customized slide shows, red eye correction, resizing and mode changing make this a freebie for which to pine.

I got the zip version kidcnote of it and then the zip plugin version too.
That way if any newer version comes out I just delete the files in the XnView and unzip the new version there.
Then if all works ok I deleted the pass version zip.
I always keep the zip around of what ever version I have because if you get the newer version and it does not work right I can always go back to the last version.

Still lots of things in XnView I don't know how to do but I like it.

Another program is Graphic Workshop.

Got a older version I can even run from a zip. I did have to install it but then I just copied the folder to a zip. Now if I run it, it works and it just adds a .ini to the windows folder that remembers your settings

http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gwspro.html

I did not have the Pro version. The Pro version was new back then. The one I had was shareware and he hee when you close the program it said "please register Graphic Workshop". It still works so time never ran out on it.
But that was years ago. So do not know if there software is still like that.
Do not see the older version at there site anymore.

kidcnote,

Some is still shareware there but you have to look.
Like Ultimate Screen Clock says shareware http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/clock.html if you look at the bottom.

I got the Electronic Greeting Card Construction Set 2.0 and had not used it in a very long time. I just open it and it counts down 20 sec's to make you wait to use it and it said I have used it 1024 days. But it works still. Get a box to buy when you close it. Never really used it so should take it off.

But the Graphic Workshop I have opened right up and just played the sound file when you closed it about buying it so it was not a bad nag.
It let you covert so many formats was what I liked about it. Seem to me that Graphic Workshop Professional was shareware at one time too. I may even have that on a zip some place too.

For what it's worth, I have SiteAdvisor on my pc's and it indicates that there are some LINKS to Freeware-Guide.com on the above site which they consider to be distributors of adware, spyware or unwanted programs. Proceed with caution.

He hee I found it and look what it said when I opened it.
Opps that was the install.exe I clicked on and there is a zip too that is 1944 KB that has the gwk32.exe in it.
Now I know I got the graphic workshop folder I copied after the install on zip too.

Anyhow you can download it from here. It will be here for 100 days and the it will be deleted.

http://www.filegone.com/6eg7

OK I found the installed graphic workshop folder on another zip and it is 4.73 MB and I just opened it up and it works. Was a little slow doing it from the zip drive but I can copy the folder to my hard drive. Running the program from the zip put a Gws.ini file in the wndows folder.
