Vista - Short List of Utilities for Vista

sorry, didn't mean to step on any toes here! Never said it ws the full version by the way, I just said it was fully functioning.

Hi Day24,

Johngalt is new and didnt mean to offend anyone, you have nothing to worry about

Steven

Thank you Steven!
Not worried about a thing really....I just wanted to help. To be honest, I really liked spyware doctor when I used the version that came with the google pack....util I got vista 64 that is.... and it stopped wanting to work! Thanks to this thread I have finally found a replacement (spybot), and I'm hoping it is as good as spyware doctor....

Hi Day24,

Spybot S+D hasnt failed me yet, If it does its ususlly when I need a reinstall

Steven

Cool, thanks, I shall use it with absolute confidence then!

Bah! He joined after me :P

And you weren't stepping on my toes, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that it was not the full version that you were getting. The features that are included with that version are not crippled, but it does not include *all* features of the full version.

Hi I have been using the free version of Net Meter for a couple of days now on my Windows Vista 64 System, and it does not appear to have any problems, though 64 bit Vista is not mentioned as being supported.

Net Meter - LAN Net Meter, WAN Net Meter, Broadband Meter, Broadband Usage Meter

I've used this in the past with XP. Just looked at their web site and see that they have it now working with Vista:

Anonymous Web Surfing

I let the subscription expire after the first year because I really didn't need that level of anonymity or privacy... but some others here might...

Brink, take a look at this and see if it has some appeal. I added a
Monitor Option to my FavesSA launcher that cooperates with
MRO most recently opened folder utility. The same background
process that updates the MRO task tray app will also send a
message to FavesSA if it sees its window. So now instead of
having to right click the Tray Icon to open one recent folder,
you can leave FavesSA open or minimized to the tray and it
will scroll up the list of recent folders. Much more convenient
to select multiple folders to reopen. Plus you can just let
the list build up, then cut out unwanted entries, and save
to a file. That cuts out the need to drag & drop a bunch
of folders onto the program to populate the listbox.

I had to make some changes that break backward compatibility
so if you use MRO 5.3 you should update FavesSA to 3.4 and
Faves should be updated to version 3.3 or later.

MRO 5.3

FavesSA 3.4

Eventually I hope to update Faves with the same Monitor option but
catching WM_COPYDATA messages in C# is a much bigger PITA
than doing it in Delphi 5.

Let me know what you think.

I upgraded FavesSA to no longer need MRO. It installs its own folder monitor.
Cleaner design with no write to a temporary file. Just sends a Windows Message.

Toggle of monitor option loads/kills the monitor exe.
The nice thing about the Faves Stand Alone version
is it's done in Delphi 5 so it should run on anything
from Win98 2nd ed. to Vista.

FavesSA 3.5
