As it's been a bit quiet around here the last couple of days...


Name a useful and free application or utility that you use.


Rules:
Must be free and with "no nags" - i.e. No spyware, ads, etc.
No duplicates
We all know and like AVG, MS Antispyware, Ad-Aware & Spybot.
EDIT: Please don't just link to a general download website - be specific, try to name an actual application that you use, find useful and would like to recommend.

Here's one of mine to start:

DeskPins
DeskPins allows you to keep a window "on top".
i.e. You're pasting and copying something into notepad and you want to keep a small notepad window visible while you edit another document; or you're watching the BBC news and don't want to lose the video while you get on with some 'work'.

Open source HTML editor to rival FP & DW. Has been getting better over recent developments.

InFranview - [URL]http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2192-10021962.html[/URL] Handles anything image wise you can throw at it. Great for Icon work/conversion.

Tons of free open source software for you to use and download.

A lot of it is Linux based mind, but you can find a few decent Windows compatible products, although I haven't really checked/used them as I don't use Windows.

EDIT: Damn link system

Veyr similar to Microsoft Office, but it's free and will run on any operating system as far as I am aware, but because it's Linux-based, it might not run on windows. I haven't actuall checked out this site - I've just heard about it, and I;'ve only ever used Open office on Linux, so give it a go. It's free.
