It depends of every experience. If i see some unusual stuff i will tell them. It includes a search box, bookmark support, spyware removal and anti-spy and a popup blocker, check your yahoo e-mail and more.

Yahoo Multi Pack (PART I) - Yahoo Messenger and many tools for it (including multimessenger)

Yahoo Messenger pack As many of my friends and readers requests, i added a pack with some explanations to yahoo messenger and related software. I wanted to make a pack with most useful programs. I did not added arhive reader, sniffer or password recovery from some reasons, maybe i will add sometime. As advice, you'll have to know that former versions of yahoo messenger does not work properly from some reasons. It is possible or it is mostly intended that last version of yahoo messenger to be promoted and not be functional with other versions. So, from what i see, having older versions of messenger, like 8.x and in some cases 9.x, will bring you errors, like having login problems, crashes, incompatible with other services ... etc. For best performance you need to have the same version like most of your friends in list. Not always is best to upgrade to last version untill it takes some time to test it and bug fixed. It's your choice, but take notice about that words. It is recomm

File Renamer - Renaming your files very easy

I found very useful this program for renaming files or folders. I tried many of them and this one was the best choice until now, for me. Let's see what it does: First you have to choose files or folders you want to rename. Optionaly you can filter the results from the interface, for show files with specified extension. Next box is for the strings you want to use for replacements. A good thing is that will remember next time you open it, the last string you used. You can also add more file extensions to be in the list. For adding files there are two ways. You can use Choose Files button or just drag&drop files directly in the interface from windows. You can select individual files from open dialog box, remove or add individual files from file list. One other nice thing is it has "infinite undo" function. So if you want to redo, you can do a lot of steps back. For the one who want to go deeper or to automate some actions it has the option to make your own scripts for mo

You can quickly see image filename, location, type, size (units), resolution, attributes, print size, dpi, EXIF, Histogram, jpg comment It is a very flexible program that allow us to do many things. It uses less resources and don't load any craps into memory. It has a menu in every side of the screen. Just reach with the mouse at the end of the screen (up, down, left or right) and it will appear that menu. When move the mouse away it dissapear.
