Express WebPictures is a tool for downloading pictures from Web galleries. It makes browsing the Web for pictures, and presenting them, as simple as possible – you drag the URL of a page, drop it on the Drop Basket icon and the program explores it and downloads all images to your hard drive. You can immediately see everything you downloaded and delete unwanted pictures. You can also set the program to explore the entire Web site and retrieve only those images that you want.
Other features include image filtering, image preview, a built-in image viewer and the option to set the selected picture as Windows wallpaper. You can also keep selected URLs as projects, complete with your settings for the individual sites so you can access them quickly in the future without having to change the program options or re-enter the URL.

Powermarks is a feature-rich bookmark application that integrates with your browser and lets you organise, search and categorise your bookmark collection. The installation process finds bookmarks from all main browsers (Netscape, IE, Opera, NetCaptor, Mozilla) on your system and integrates them into the program. IE 4+ users get a new menu bar which allows quick access to the program's features.
The three-paned interface provides a search field, dictionary and URL listing. Powermarks uses keywords to locate links. When adding URLs, you can choose between a quick add feature and allow Powermarks to create a keyword set from the page's title, or add a link with your own comments and keywords. The program also checks URL status and reports whether the bookmark has changed or moved since last checking.
