I put this up on another thread...........

If you are looking for a good free utilities program for XP.........Which is usually paid for............Here you go..........

Here's another big tip to help your XP machine run quicker........Don't go fiddling around trying to find different programs to make your XP machine quicker and leaner.........Use, most probably, the most popular and very respected 'paid for' Utilities package around...........FOR FREE. Grab TuneUp Utilities..........2008 version for free. Yes, FREE.......it appears legit and there are no time bombs nor is it a partially disabled version.......The 'full monty'..............I'd run a virus scan on the downloaded file as a precaution but it appears legit and my guess is TuneUp have allowed this hoping that people will like it so much that they'll eventually upgrade and pay for the 2011. The 2008 version is just great for XP and is a work horse and will really keep your XP machine moving..........Grab it here  http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/04/23/free-tuneup-utilities-2008-download-with-registration-serial-number/

If your software config allows, I'd suggest AVG LinkScanner....it's proactive rather than reactive. You can read about it here -  http://tinyurl.com/4bjcd2b

WOT puts a small green ring next to the url pane. It lets you rate each website you visit. Wincustomize has an excellent rating.

WinDirStat is a very good utility. I prefer Ashampoo Snap 3, Jing and The one I use most often is Snagit 10. All three are free.

clipcube is interesting, but theres better one.

It saves last n (configurable # of entries) that was copied into clipboard. Many data formats is supported. You can also create permanent entries out any of supported formats too.

 

Yes, it's old. It still works on 64 bit windows 7. It's sad that its not being worked on anymore, but theres hardly anything to be added anyway.

I use to have Windirtat. But looking at a bunch of squares and rectangles of all different colors, especially the tiny ones, nah. I prefer to have text to go along with it.  Diskspacefan is good. I don't remember if it was mentioned in this thread but in case it was not. Basically it gives you a circular image of your drive and lists all the categories in different colors. Almost 3D like.

Yep...I remember posting that one...and it's very good.
