DAEMON Tools What is it Virtual CD/DVD emulation software Why I have it installed So I can mount ISO images I download What I think of it I think its great, I have used quite a few but this one seems the most reliable as easist to use.  Virtual Disks can even be shared over the network! Where is the installation media http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&;catid=5 In my local SW Library 7:27:47 PM      comment [] Creative Jukebox Driver What is it Desktop software for my Creative Zen MP3 player Why I have it installed Downloading Music and Conferences What I think of it It's OK seems to work reliably but I would prefer to manage everything though one product. Where is the installation media on CD somewhere! 7:12:43 PM      comment [] CmdHere Powertoy For Windows XP What it is Freeware utility explorer that lets you open a command prompt open in a directory you write click in explorer Why I have it installed Useful What I think of it It works Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it 6:55:55 PM      comment [] ClipName What it is Freeware utility for grabbing the name of files and folders in Explorer, encoding them and putting them in the clipboard Why I have it installed Useful What I think of it It works, I used it to grab all of the links in this blog Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it 6:52:56 PM      comment [] BlackBerry Desktop Manager What it is Desktop software for Blackberry emailer Why I have it installed So that I can configure my Blackberry and do client synchronisation What I think of it I hate it, the synchronisation is not reliable, it is very slow and not that stable.  I hardly ever use it because I use wireless sync.  The only time I ever use it is when I get a new Blackberry and need to configure it, or need to update the Blackberry Software. Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it I also have Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 which includes Notes 6 support.  I installed the base and then each SP in turn If you don't use the service packs then you also need the Notes 6 Add-on   6:50:24 PM      comment [] Avance AC'97 Audio What it is The audio driver for my on board sound card Why I have it installed No audio without it! What I think of it It works Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it 6:44:24 PM      comment [] Alcohol 120% What it is CD & DVD burning and copying SW.  I got it free with my DVD writer and its a fairly simple to use programme, which makes a change. Why I have it installed I only use it when I have an ISO image I need to burn to CD, which is not very often What I think of it Don't use it much Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it Where the license is, so I can re-install it 6:38:28 PM      comment [] Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional What it is The best SW available for publishing to PDF files, downloading web sites to PDF and manipulating PDF documents. Why I have it installed I do quite a bit of the above What I think of it The best there is although because it's so expensive I don't tend to recomment it to customers.  I also have a variety of other alternative, cheaper but simpler products available as well and use these for comparison. Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it Where the license is, so I can re-install it 6:26:49 PM      comment [] Installed SW I n s t a l l e d   P r o g r a m s   I intend to go through this list, prune it and add a blog entry for each piece of SW explaining:   What it is Why I have it installed What I think of it Where the installation media is, so I can re-install it Where the license is, so I can re-install it   For the moment this is just the raw list ripped from the Registry, i.e. the same list showed in Add Remove Programmes.   Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional Alcohol 120% Avance AC'97 Audio BlackBerry Desktop Manager 3.6 ClipName CmdHere Powertoy For Windows XP Cooktop 2.5 Creative Jukebox Driver DAEMON Tools DivX Player eWallet for Pocket PC eWallet for Windows PCs ExplorerXP (remove only) Fugawi UK Getmapping Viewer Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer Hermes hp officejet d series HTML Help Workshop IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook Installed Program Printer InstantCD/DVD Intellisync® for Yahoo!
