eBoostr started out as a Vista�s readyBoost for Windows XP, but in time (now at version 4) got lots of improvements. I am using this program myself and I must say that it works really well. The free version allows you to use the program for the first two hours or so. For purchase it comes in 4 flavors ranging from $20 up to $40. The price might sound high, but compared to the speed you get in return (that is if you use proper high-speed USB drives and SSD cards), it is well worth it!
VReveal is a program (free with limitations) that makes it very easy for you to create professional looking footage. It has a set of one-click video optimizing filters such as resolution doubling, sharpening, video stabilizing and more. The free version adds a few seconds of the VReveal logo on the lower-right corner and some features are not available (double resolution, HD export, and more�). The free version allows you to stabilize the video and do some sharpening and auto contrast, good enough for sharing your videos online. However, if you wish to make high quality footage (re-edit your wedding video) for DVD, then you might want to buy the full version as the price is very worth it (compared to the �proffesionals� who can clean up the video for you). I really love the interface too, as it looks modern and simple.
Here is how you can edit the Favorite list in the file dialog boxes you get when you open / save a file.
FolderIco allows you to set custom folder icons and colors using a right-click menu. This can be very useful if you need to quickly identify a folder because it will be �standing out�. This version is designed for Windows Vista and Windows 7. For Windows XP click here.
Note that if you have Windows7 64-bit, you will have to use the program itself to change the folder instead of the right-click menu.
Easeus Partition Master (Home Edition) is a free partition manager. Partitions are sections on your hard disk dedicated to a specific drive letter. For example you can have drive C and E on one and the same physical disc. With Easeus Partition Master you can manage your drives and partitions with ease(us) :)
Firefox Throttle is an addon for Firefox that enables you to slow down your download and upload speed within Firefox. This might not be useful for most users, however it can be very useful for web developers, specially Flash developers. With this you can test your flash preloader as it would appear on the web and simulate a slow internet connection. You can also use it to test how your overall site loads on a slow connection and optimize it.
