Great PC Programs

Have a great new software installed on your PC. Share it with the rest of us.

(not the program, just a link to the program site)

I'll start it off with a small little program some of you may already know.

PROGRAM NAME: SysMetrix

DESCRPTIPTION: SysMetrix is a skinnable clock and metering application. It's purpose is to provide system metrics in a variety of interesting, useful, and cool ways.

It supports Themes to change it's look and functionality - you pick the size, shape, and even what area will be transparent
It has an integrated theme browser complete with automatic preview generator
It can display the time in an analog clock
It can display various statistics like the time/date/memory/disk/uptime/CPU/IP address/Network Traffic, etc in textual form
It can display various statistics in a variety of different graphical ways using histograms, bargraphs, sliders, multi and dual-state images, etc.
It can draw the histograms and bar graphs or paint them using images
It can monitor multiple POP email accounts and report on number of unread messages and sizes
It can play a sound once every hour or when there are unread email messages
It can be used to display and adjust the system's volume and mute state
It can be configured to refrain from playing sounds during specified periods of the day or night
It can graphically depict whether the recycle bin is empty or not and whether you have unread email messages
It can graphically depict whether the computer is connected to the network or not (LAN and dialup)
It can auto-scale the network traffic histograms based on past history
It can synchronize your PC's clock to an NTP server (atomic clock) on a configurable schedule
It can anti-alias the analog clock hands, so they look smooth instead of "jaggy"
It can do varying levels of transparency for the form if run on Windows 2000 or XP
It can be fixed or movable, and supports multi-monitor desktops
It can auto-adjust its position when the reserved screen area changes
It can be on top of all windows, and even disappear on a mouseover (to work on whatever window is underneath)
It can automatically startup with Windows
It can be used to remote-control a WinAmp2 compatible media player (play, pause, open files, adjust volume and position, etc)
It can be used to control the system, wave, cd, MIDI, line, and microphone volumes
It can be used to mute the sound card, or adjust the volume from the mouse wheel.
It can have skinnable buttons that show/empty the recycle bin, run your email client, etc.
It can show animations that run always, or only when the CPU usage is high, you have email, there are files in the recylebin, etc.
It can show the mouse position and the color of the pixel under the mouse, A CTRL-C copies the color to the clipboard.
It can hide the desktop icons, and reserve screen space for itself
You can drag and drop files onto the trash button to send them to the recycle bin
It can check the web for possible updates and report on recent changes
It has a configurable update interval
When used in combination with the Motherboard Monitor, it can report on motherboard/cpu/drive temperatures, voltages, fan speed, etc.
It can report on weather conditions such as temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, etc. via METAR reports
It can display the time and date all over the world in dozens of timezones, even taking into accout the practice of Daylight Savings Time
It can display any information from the Windows Registry
and more...

Re: Great PC Programs

just a question to avoid another negitive rep point flood like on the Xbox live thread (2 negs why people why?)
do computer games count or is it strictly internal things like gfx cards and other assorted upgrades?
