WinHotKey allows you to assign "hot keys" that do various things. Actions that can be done with a hotkey are: 1. Launch a Program 2. Open a document 3. Open a folder 4. Automatically type something 5. Control other windows on the screen The main goal of this tool is to be easy to use. There are many other hotkey programs out there, but most of them do not provide a sufficient level of "ease of use". This walks the user through the options, while remaining a powerful tool. When running, the program sits in the system tray. Double-clicking on the system tray icon will bring up the main window. Works on Windows versions up through and including Vista. While not a 64-bit program itself, it works fine on 64-bit editions.

Open Source Software for running Windows applications on other operating systems. Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software. Any Windows replacement must run Windows applications The dependency is not so much on Microsoft Windows as it is on Windows applications. Boxed off-the-shelf applications, games, in-house applications, vertical market applications, are what prevents users, companies and governments from switching to another operating system. Even if 90% of the needs of most users are taken care of if you can provide them with an office suite, an email client, a browser, and a media player, then there will still be a remaining 10% of their needs, potentially critical needs, that are not met. Unfortunately these remaining 10% are spread across a wide spectrum of applications: thousands of applications running the gamut from games to specialized accounting software for French farms, via Italian encyclopedias, German tax software, child education software, banking software, in-house software representing years of development, etc. It is the availability of all this software that makes Windows so compelling and its monopoly so strong. No platform will become mainstream unless it runs a significant portion of that software and lets individuals, companies and governments preserve their investments in that software.

Stereo Tool is a free Winamp plugin that can manipulate sounds. It contains a powerful stereo image manipulator, an 8-band multiband compressor/limiter and a singleband compressor/limiter, FM pilot tone filtering and more. Currently, Stereo Tool offers the following sound processing options: * 10-band multiband compressor / limiter / clipper If one song contains a lot of bass, and the next contains a lot of treble, this filter can make them sound equal. The volume is also kept at the same level. Many people have reported that music sounds better on their equipment when using the multiband compressor. The clippers reduce sudden bursts of loud sounds, without causing pumping or other artifacts. * Stereo channel separation widening / narrowing With this you can move the instruments to the center, or further away from each other. This can be used among others to let both speakers play all the sounds at the same level (so if you only hear one speaker, you don't miss any sounds), and still keep a part of the stereo effect. * Stereo phase shift widening / narrowing Phase shift widening makes the stereo stand out more, which can make music sound more powerful. The instruments do not change position though. Phase shift narrowing can be useful if you have a mono output channel: Sounds converted to mono using this filter sound just as full and powerful as the original stereo recording. This enables transforming any recording to mono without audiable artifacts, and achieving better quality encoding for low bitrate MP3 files. * Phasing error (AZIMUTH) correction filter. Old tape recordings and many cheap CDs often suffer from severe phasing errors. These phasing errors can make listening very unpleasant, and when the phasing error changes over time the sound can seem to "float" around you. It can also cause severe artifacts when converting the sound to mono or when playing it on a surround system. This filter automatically detects and repairs such errors. * Center bass speaker filter * Hiss reduction filter * 3-level overshoot protection If your goal is to make the sound loud, the 3-level overshoot protection filter can remove the remaining peaks after all the other processing has ended. By using 3 levels, any pumping artifacts that would normally be caused by such a filter are reduced as much as possible. * Loudness filter This filter can make sounds up to 5 dB louder, without causing higher amplitude peaks in the signal, with very little effect on the sound. Especially useful for radio stations that want to sound loud. * Lowpass filter Useful if you want to feed the Winamp output into an FM transmitter. This filter can completely remove any FM pilot tone interference. Also useful to hear how a recording would sound on an AM station etc. * FM transmitter support The following options can be used to prepare sounds for broadcasting on an FM transmitter. * FM pre-emphasis filter * FM stereo encoder The software FM stereo encoder enables broadcasting in stereo using a simple mono FM transmitter.

Guru3D - Driver Sweeper is a fast tool to remove driver leftovers from your system. It's very important to remove your drivers on a proper way, because driver leftovers can cause problems like stability and startup problems. You can use it if you want to update/remove drivers from your system. There are two methods to use Driver Sweeper. Both methods achieve the same results. This method is always able to clean all files. This method will delete remaining files upon reboot (if deleting failed). You can clean your drivers this way: * Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall. * Reboot your PC in Safe Mode. * Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean. * Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected. * More drivers can be selected for the same cleaning process...
