I went to the "graphics" computer lab at UCSD today. It has semi-fast machines and windows 2000. They always set the refresh rate to 60hz, but I can see the flickering at that rate, so I always change it to 85.
I log on as usual, open up the display properties... and discover that they've taken out the tab to change refresh rates, width/height, etc...
This program lets me change all that even without the tab
Nice simple to use command line utility (I just made a shortcut to it and put the command line parameters in that).

It's another much better interface for IE. It uses the IE rendering engine but you can use tabbed browsing and other cool shit.
Don't worry, it won't nuke your IE, though you shouldn't use it with Win98.

I use it for online genealogical research organization.
NetPad SE

Welcome to the home of NetPad - The Web Notepad for Thinking People! NetPad is specially designed for writers, researchers, or anyone who needs to collect and organize notes and information. NetPad is extremely easy to use, but has unique and powerful abilities to collect and organize information from Web sites and text documents along with your own notes and ideas.
Our Review:
An interesting program for compiling information and thoughts. You jot down ideas by pressing on 'idea' and then entering everything you can think of regarding your idea. Ideas are then placed in an index so you can flick between them. NetPad SE integrates with your web browser so you can attain information online and then cut and past it onto the program. Very easy to use in a familiar Microsoft Word-style interface. Great for anyone who constantly gets bursts of inspiration but doesn't have anywhere to put them (would also be handy for anyone doing research).

Damn right! Pretty much the best proggy that can fit on a single floppy. I use it at work heavily, it's a superb file manager, excellent ftp client (can be made ftp server with a small add-on). It can open just about any compressed file as if it were a directory. I remember it once opening corrupted zips and deleting files that Windows refused to.piotrr said:Total Commander
(it used to be Windows Commander for 14 years until Microsoft, well you probably understand what happened).
- File and directory management tool
- Split / Combine files
- Compare directories, files and contents, find dupes
- Create / Verify CRC checksums
- UUEncode / Decode
- Powerful file rename tools
- Synchronize directories
- Opens several archive types like directories
- Handles FTP connections like drives
- Editable button bar
- Quickview panel fully compatible with IrfanView
et cetera.
It's also multi-renamer, but the ultra-fast file search and directory synchronization feature rocks. It never crashes, period. Here's my copy 'at work'

This text editor is the fucking best I've seen. I've been using it for awhile, and I use it to view all possible txt files.

Been using this since '98, best "little" program of gigantic useability for windows. If I had to pick one program, this would be it. Can't live without. Would sell my mom for it. I rather use this.... oh well you got the point.

Any way to run this without a command line or editing shortcut properties? The refresh rates are painful on some of the computers at school and I'd love to be able to change them but they have a lot of stuff disabled. No new shortcuts and no run dialog among other things.Somec said:http://www.12noon.com/reschange.htm
