Selected Win32 applications
In these spyware-ridden times, the idea of finding decent and trustworthy Windows software without getting yourself diseased with malware seems very daunting. Hence, I have posted a list of some of my favourite Windows applications to help you on your way. In alphabetical order:
-
HexEdit
A decent freeware hex editor; version 2 will be open source.
-
IcoFX
A free icon editor, that supports icons up to 256×256 32-bit as well as custom sizes, and has a built-in disc browser.
-
mp3DirectCut
Lossless crop, fade and gain adjustments for MP3 audio; freeware.
-
Mp3tag
Comprehensive ID3 tag editor; freeware.
-
Media Player Classic Homecinema
Slim open source media player that resembles Windows Media Player 6.
-
NoteKeeper
Hierarchical notepad editor with support for styled text. Freeware. For me, it is the spiritual successor to lili_Pad.

Xenu’s Link Sleuth
Link checker for your Web site: run it and find all the broken links you need to be fixing! Freeware.
-
Zoom+
Nifty screen magnifier tool: fast and efficient. Also has screenshot and colour capture capability. Open source, but the site is gone and I never downloaded the source.
