Clever freeware/shareware/cheapware PC apps & utilities

I am not trying to repair, replace or resume the previous "Build a PC" or "Ask your PC support questions here" topics that we had in the old forum structure. This is something a little different. With the new "comment and reply" tiers that we have to use, it seems (to me) that a topic to allow the community to mention, share, find, and discuss various tools and applications would be potentially useful. The idea of this topic is that anyone can create a reply to this OP, link to, and then have followup discussion for a website, a service, a utility, a shareware, freeware or other application that they have found to be useful, helpful or indispensable. It's worth a try. If you have programs that you can't live with out, feel free to comment and share your gems with the community. Hell, if this gets really popular, I may have to index some permalinks in the OP. [b][u]ProTip for commentors[/u]:[/b] While it may be tempting to just paste your listing of favorites, the forum structure is going to allow/encourage us to make comments that are a single app (preferably with a link) and an explanation of not just what it does, but why it is so helpful to you! If we can keep the comments to single-app review and link, with the replies then focused on that app, each comment will become its own sub-topic.

  • [url=http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx]TeamViewer[/url] For anyone who is the "default tech-support" for their family, friends or other people who have PC's that you can't easily get to physically, TeamViewer is a great (free for personal, pay for company) app. It's also available at http://ninite.com. It allows you to make ad-hoc remote control sessions, or if you'd like and your "clients" are frequently needing your remote support, you can create an account, and build a list of PC's that you frequently contact and remote. It also has conference, file-transfer and other features. As someone who travels a lot on business, I have this setup on my home PC's (so I can contact them while I am on the road) as well as the PC's of friends and family who rely on me for tech support. It's a nice, free, and solid tool. Check it out.
