What program has proven most useful?

[Penfold]

Two for me :

Log me in (free) - which lets me connect to other computers over the internet. Great for looking at the office machine from home and /or troubleshooting other people's pc problems. its free and it's great.

Foldershare folder sharing and synchronisation over the internet. Share/synchronise your folders between machines - add or amend a document for example and within seconds it's transmitted to the other machines on the same list and updates them accordingly. its free and it's great. - great for real time backups as well!

They look like something I should look into. Could come in handy when we work on documents but sit at 5 different places.

I really love them - they're both free!!

Logmein is similar to PC anywhere or GoToMyPC just a free version and foldershare makes people sharing remotely a brezze without having to set up a server and access permssions etc.

Thanks for the information. Will check out foldershare.com.

A good free alternative to Logmein is also VLC. I used to use PCAnywhere but as that version got too old (had some compatibility issues) I switched to VLC.

RegHeal: Got a thing about crap being left in the registry. I actually paid for this.

The Easy mode is rubbish, it doesnt detect everything thing then doesnt fix all of what it detects. Advanced mode is pretty hot though, I have just invested in a license as well!

Do you mean VNC?

If so then yes,. i have used that but found it didn't work so well when trying to get to or from a dynamic IP. You need a static IP address for it to work. That's why I switched to Logmein.

In addition, you can connect to logmein from any pc without having to install any software. just type in the url, udername and  password and anyway you go. Handy for those internet cafés when abroad

Oh yeah VNC. You are right, Logmein sounds well-featured. Will give it a go.

For compressed files I just use Total Commander. No other app needed - and then it also handles ftp, file and folder syncronisation, massive file renaming (never done better), splits and combines files with crc-checking, decodes and codes MIME, BinHex, UUE and other directly, handles folder shares and drive mappings - but the best is the excellent two-window way of handling of files combined with all kinds of short-cuts to remember folders you just were in etc.

Also the integrated text-viewer/video player (which supports text, binary, hex, multimedia, html and unicode and both ansi and ascii) is a plus. The viewer is basic, but loaded instantly as you swap through files. Also, tons of extra plugins are made, like incorporated cd-burners etc. - for free.

I have to agree with Delan that Total Commander (cool name, huh?) is one of the greatest progs there is. It's the first thing I install after a windows install.

Other than that, ACDSee classic - loads fast, and have almost all features you could need.

Oh, and of course Winamp
