The following links lead to some cool FREE stuff that I have on my computer and couldn't live without.
Free Launch Bar
The free verion of True Launch Bar, it enables the quicklaunch area to have popup menus. I've used this to clear my desktop of ALL icons (Except the Recycle Bin).
Rainlendar2
A desktop calendar. It allows you to set events and reminds you when one is coming up. There is also a TODO list. Not to mention, it shows you what date it is.
WinSCP
A program used for uploading files to a website. I used it for this!

Miranda Instant Messenger:
|
|
|
Miranda is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. This means that all of your contacts from AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and many more can all be on one contact list. It is an open source project, so it is always being improved and changed.
If you download the executable from the official site you may be disappointed. This is because the majority of Miranda's functionality comes from it's huge library of plugins. Finding the ones you want and using them can be quite daunting. This is why I have provided a zip file with everything the average user could want.
This is an ALPHA version (Because all the most recent versions of plugins are for the alpha builds). This may mean instability; however, I believe the increased functionality is well worth it.
Download Miranda with most usefull plugins.
INSTALLATION: Simply extract the Miranda folder to a location on your computer (e.g. C:\Program Files\Miranda). Then rename Profile.dat to your name (or not, it doesn't really matter). To create a desktop icon for Miranda, just right click miranda32.exe and create a shortcut, rename it, and move it to your desktop.
Once you start Miranda you will need to go to the Options and fill out your information under the Networks category. The plugins category has all the different plugins (NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THESE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING OR ARE JUST TURNING AN IM PROTOCOL ON OR OFF).
If you have any questions feel free to contact me via the Web Chat.
