01. PROTECT THAT EMAIL ADDRESS. Ways to do it: MINT EMAIL. Want another disposable email address? This one at http://www.mintemail.com/ gives you a quick temporary three-hour address. MAILEXPIRE. Yet another service at http://www.mailexpire.com/ will provide a free email alias for any period you choose from 12 hours to three months.

02. JUST GESTURES lets you create mouse gestures with user-defined actions by combining mouse movements and clicks. Download free at http://justgestures.com/ .

03. NOTEPAD2 is a text editor with syntax highlighting. It can be run without installation and makes no entries in the Registry. Download free at http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad2/ .

04. BLOCK KEYBOARD AND MOUSE can come in handy if you have a toddler in the house, or, as in my household, some inquisitive cats. It locks your keyboard and mouse until you're ready to use them. Download free at http://keyfreeze.com/ .

Time is running out to get the WinPatrol PLUS 2011 at a special Neat Net Tricks price. That's the software that guards your computer and does just about everything except make the morning coffee. If you've forgotten what I said about Bill Pytlovany's brainchild or misplaced that report, you can see it at http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs065/1101458487892/archive/1104753267707.html . At the very least, don't wait any longer to get the free version, but the PLUS version is definitely a winner and it's nice to save a few bucks as well. You can order that one, but only for a few more days, at the NNT Store, http://www.neatnettricks.com/store .
