Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once
Handy when you've just built a new Windows machine.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Not a freebie, but Beyond Compare has saved my sanity more than once - compares content or file structures and allows you to update and downdate (a word I have just made up meaning deleting a deployed item...)Originally posted by Scrag Meister View PostCouldn't live without UltraEdit and UltraCompare.
Is UltraCompare a similar thing?Comment

Yes it is, I have used Beyond before but am an Ultra convert in the main.Originally posted by Bacchus View PostNot a freebie, but Beyond Compare has saved my sanity more than once - compares content or file structures and allows you to update and downdate (a word I have just made up meaning deleting a deployed item...)

Clientco is locked down like mad - no google apps or mail or any web mail or even forums inc valid ones.
So I slapped OSGD (formerly Tarantella) on a VM at home, ran it on port 443 and get what I need that way.Comment

PFE, Notepad++,Multipad, Textpad,Windiff - most will be familiar with those. Other really good free ones:
InfoRapid Search and Replace - can do multiple replaces in various files, either choose or do all.
Webmatrix - Microsoft tool. Set up website pointer to your site, click on any file to edit. Shows all your HTML errors. There are various add ins, some free, some not, that let you see how a page looks in all browsers/different versions, iPads etc.
Anything. File search that uses existing hard disc index, find any file in under a second.
Apart from those I make my own things in Excel, VB.net or or VB6 which still works great in Win7 if you open as admin.bloggoth
