MemoKeys v1.8 [793k] W9x/2k/XP FREE
http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=105496
MemoKeys allows you to create shortcut key combinations (hotkeys), like F5 +
A or ` + W, and associates them with any text information of your choice.
You can use it to store your address, name, e-mail signature, or any other
text you enter. Then, instead of typing "Webattack is my favorite download
site," every time you e-mail your friends, you could just press F10 + W and
the text is instantly typed for you. MemoKeys works with any software
application, including word processors, e-mail programs, Web forms, and any
other window that accepts text input. You can specify a default function key
or use the one suggested for your specific keyboard layout. In addition, you
can also print a list of all your MemoKeys as a quick reference. [MWA]

AM-Notebook ~ free
http://aignes.com/notebook.htm
Keep your notes, don't forget your dates
AM-Notebook is a fine system tray utility that provides an easy way to store
notes, TODOs and other data.
Another nice features are the integrated Address-Book and the Alarm-Clock,
which doesn't let you forget entered dates. Important notes can be
encrypted, when you open a note you must enter the password.

The Tank PC
http://www.driesbessels.com/hdpc.htm
The whole object of the project was to make an original 'case-mod'. A
case-mod is a PC with a modified case. Sometimes they have extra lights
added, sometimes they are custom painted and i have even seen one made out
of an empty beer-crate. I thought it would be funny to use an old petrol
tank but the main problem was obtaining the Harley bits, plenty of PC bits
lying around.

This is an MDI browser that scans each site page-by-page,
frame-by-frame for objectionable material before page rendering.
Parents can use the calendar to view all of a child's navigations
and surfing habits.
Options include disabling of the "mailto" feature that invites
kids into e-mail exchanges, default homepage, enable-disable
filtering, blocking of IE Favorites (optional), recording of
navigation, and an allowable domain list.
When an objectionable site is detected, a bell rings and a
padlock is displayed. You can allow the site to
render by clicking the lock and entering the correct password.

Creating a Template
If you frequently use WordPad to do your word processing, you're probably
getting tired of formatting every document (changing the font, typing the
same heading, and so on).
Does this thing come with templates or what?
The answer is no, but that doesn't mean you can't make one. Just take a few
minutes to do the formatting once, and you'll have an instant time-saver.
Open WordPad and make all the formatting changes you'd like to include in
your template--for example, you might
change the font and point size of the text.
(Tip: Type at least one character and then assign these settings to it.)
When you're finished, save the file in a convenient location using a name
such as "template.tpl."
Now instruct Windows to open any file with a .tpl extension in WordPad.
Open any Explorer window and select View, Folder Options.
On the File Types tab, click the New Type button.
Next to Description Of Type, enter a description, such as "WordPad
Template."
Next to Associated Extension, type
tpl
Click New, and in the Action box of the New Action dialog box, type
Open
Under Application Used To Perform Action, type WordPad's path, such as
C:\Program Files\Accessories\Wordpad.exe
Finally, click OK three times to close all open dialog boxes.
Ready to try it out?
Double-click template.tpl and it opens in WordPad, complete with all your
formatting.
(Tip: Be sure to save it under a new name before creating a new document
from the template.)

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses,
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
