01. IMAGEGLASS takes the place of Photo Viewer in Windows 7 and Vista and
overcomes difficulties in displaying PNG and GIF file. It resizes/reorients
image in the main display and promises to load images faster than Photo
Viewer because it uses RAM to preload the next image. Download free at
http://imageglass.codeplex.com/ .
02. JPEGMINI at http://www.jpegmini.com/main/homereduces the size of your
photos by as much as five times while keeping the original's quality.
03. FIXBEE offers to clean and repair your hard drive errors, remove junk
files that slow down your computer, speed up startup and slowdown times, and
improve overall system performance. This one works OK although claims such
as these are often exaggerated. Just be sure you uncheck the installation of
Searchqu during installation to avoid installing unwanted software. Download
free at http://fixbee.com/index.html .
04. SHUTDOWN AGENT offers an automated way to shut down your computer, with
a range of customizable options. Download free at
