Misschien toch een idee om wakoopa voor dat lijstje te gebruiken om het bij te houden? Super, Speedfan, Nettransport, Nero, VMware, DivX

Het bijhouden van een lijstje is me altijd een teveel gedoe geweest, een full backup en reinstall op demand (afwachten wat je nu weer het meest gaat gebruiken).

Misschien toch een idee om wakoopa voor dat lijstje te gebruiken om het bij te houden?

It is a bloated software. I use FoxitReader instead. You don't even install this, as far as I remember. It just workes as an exe. Instead of installing another Media Player, I use and download a codec pack - I play anything with these, including flv files, and it makes your Windows Media Player play .mov files. hehe K-Lite Codec Pack is awesome. For audio ripping, another freeware is great, and that is Exact Audio Copy. Or if you want 1-stop rip & convert solution, DBpowerAMP is THE thing. FileZilla, Putty, EditPlus and uTorrent are also my favorites. Surely I have a different list :)

I use WinAmp instead of iTunes, Foxit Reader instead of Adobe PDF Reader, Notepad++ instead of EditPlus, EasyPHP instead of XAMPP and SmartFTP instead of CuteFTP. For the rest I would add MessengerPlus (with boss protection and tabbed windows), UltraMon (for multi displays), The Regex Coach (a regular expression help tool), WinRAR, Gtalk, Flickr Uploader, MyPhoneExplorer (for syncing my Sony Ericsson phone). Obviously ALL browsers even IE6 for testing. I guess everyone has a slightly different list.
