'Giveaway list' deleted

Their wasn’t enough noise on it. Quite boring if it’s all payware stuff. I’m also adding to my ‘essential software list’:

- Launchy

I saw this on the front page of Cnet. It’s an opensource background applet that you can *wait for it* launch things with! It’s not in the form of an annoying window, either, so it can’t get in the way. You push Alt+Space and a nice looking gloss-black window with a rounded square and a text box fades into the screen. You type into the text box which application you wanna launch and hit enter. Usually you only have to type in the first few characters before it realizes what you want to do, so its cool in that sense also. The app launches and the window fades away.

-Recuva

Really good undelete software. Beats ‘unerase’ any day for speed, looks and capabilities.

-Defraggler

Great Computer defragmentation tool. It seems more powerful than the built-in windows defragger, because it does it all in one blow, so after you finish defragging once with defraggler, it’s totally defragmented.Unlike the built in one, where it just does a few files than says 100 percent while there is clearly some left.

-CCleaner

Good disk cleanup application better than the windows built-in. Makes your computer run smoother and faster. Usually I run this before a defrag.

yup, anything from Priform is great.

I also got it all in alphabetical order and gave it a new format.
