ACDSee is a fast image viewer with built-in file-management capabilities. It supports .BMP, .GIF,
JPEG, .PCX, .TGA and TIFF files as well as many others. The installation gives you the option of
automatically associating these file types with ACDSee, so a simple double-click on the image file
from Internet Explorer will launch the viewer. It also includes scroll, zoom and slide-show features.

EasyCD2
EasyCD includes features that are standard on many other audio CD players (random play, track
programming, intro play, etc.). But what separates EasyCD from the rest is its ability to download the
track list for your CD from the CD Information Database, which can be found on any of several
servers on the Internet. If your track list is not in the database, you can enter the list manually and
submit it for other cybersurfers to use. Latest version: 2

MS-DOS Prompt Shell Extension
Here's a convenient utility for those of us who still find the DOS prompt useful. Right-click on any
folder (or shortcut to a folder) and choose the MS-DOS prompt; you get a DOS window with that
folder as the current directory. Installation couldn't be simpler; it only requires a single double-click
on the program file.
