Outlook Linker http://www.teamscope...ties.asp#linker

Outlook Linker™ provides the ability to generate links to other items in Outlook. It is a system tray applet that automatically generates a hyperlink for the current folder or item (message) and places it on the clipboard. The hyperlink can then be pasted into any MS Office document, Web page, e-mail message, etc This is fundamental to the efficient and productive use of shared items in a Exchange public folder system. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not provided a convenient way to get access to these links.

Whitney Defrag http://www.whitneyfa...ks/?item=Defrag

Command line and a bit slower than most, but ruthlessly efficient.
The zip contains Defrag.exe, DefragPS.dll- put these in a new folder anywhere
and bootdrg.exe which you put in System32.
For common defragging tasks, create a desktop shortcut of Defrag.exe and add the switch

Defrag.exe -d c

Both incredible packages with features galore.
Perhaps members and guests should be reminded, while perusing this list, that the developers of these fine products should be actively encouraged....that is, where they ask for PayPal donations or such, be generous.

Photo manipulation and image design:

Recolored ( http://www.recolored.com )

Recolored is a software application that helps you with the otherwise difficult and time consuming task of colorizing black and white photos. Based on the latest developments in computer assisted image colorization, Recolored makes it possible for anyone to achieve professional looking results.

To add color to a photo, all you have to do is add markings to the different regions of the image, indicating how it should be colorized. Then click the Colorize button and let the software do the rest.

Currently in its BETA stage, Recolored is available for download free of charge for non-commercial use. A commercial version will be released in early 2006.
