Many of us don't like our mouses: Not only can they cause repetitive strain injury, but they can slow us down. This program returns you to the "old school" of computer operation by helping you create keyboard shortcuts to access your favorite programs, documents, and files. Once you've made a shortcut, simply press your desired key combination to launch your program. This tool supports up to 200 key assignments, giving you lots of choices and room to grow. Download

Encryption Plus Folders
Do you have multiple users on one PC, or are you concerned about the security of the data on your notebook? Encryption Plus Folders protects the contents of a single folder on your computer, using the well-known Blowfish algorithm and a 64-bit encryption key. Enter a password and select a folder to apply secure file encryption to its contents, and each time Windows loads, you'll be prompted for the password. When the proper password is supplied, it takes up residence in your system tray and grants access to the contents of the folder. An added feature lets you lock and hide your desktop when you step away from your PC. go to download site

LPJ-Slideshow
Perhaps you'd like to share the images of your honeymoon or road trip, distributing them via CD for portability (and coolness, of course). If you'd rather not have to worry if they know how to open the slideshow (or have the correct software), try this tool. With LPJ-Slideshow, you can share your images by creating a slideshow that automatically executes when someone puts the CD in the CD-ROM drive. Options include the ability to play MP3 files with your slideshow, as well as change the background color. The program can also start with a command line if you want it to show a specific image library. Download

Mighty Fax
Sending faxes via your computer is as simple as clicking the Print icon in Word with this shareware program. When you download the program, a printer driver is installed on your PC so that you can fax directly from Windows. A cover sheet contains all of the relevant fields you need, or you can pick from one of four templates that come with the program. Flag a message as urgent, for review, or for additional comments. You can also archive faxes for later reference. A phone-book icon that's part of the interface lets you add names and numbers to a fax by simply clicking on a contact's name. The program has a friendly wizard, and because I hate getting annoying "retry messages," I used it to set the send mode to 90 seconds. It also walked me through the configuration process, helping me set up my modem settings, as well as the way I wanted to send and receive faxes. The only drawback is that a transfer rate of no higher than 9600 bits per second is recommended for sending faxes, instead of the 19,200 that the protocol will allow. Download
