Most of those are provided in Windows, or I don't need them. The only one that interested me was DVD Flick. Good find, though!

Yeah, good find.
Although I don't see the use for all these Windows Explorer-type programs.

I found an application that I will probably never be able to live without - and I really didn't think I would. It's PicPick! Since I take so many screenshots to help me help other OCN members, this is going to come in quite handy. My favorite part is how I can capture the active window. Nice.

The active window capture has been a Windows function for over a decade. Hitting ALT+PrintScreen will do it.

I love it how many people don't know about that.

Decent finds there. Wonder how the Maxto would work, might have to give it a try later.

But, I may still try PickPick as it has some features that I think I might be able to take advantage of (other than capturing the active window, of course). Thanks again, though. I'm really glad I said something there. I'm going to use the crap out of it now.

I used Launchy until I got Vista in mid 2008. The startmenu search is good enough for my needs(occasional search for application that is not on the desktop)
But anyway, it was an awesome app.
