Spotted a bunch of threads in the past few days here and it almost reads exactly what I've been doing at work for the past week... going to put them into one place:

Backup: Cobian Backup (opensource)Sound/Music: AirfoilCPU Overclocking/performance testing Realtemp - self explanatoryPhoto management Adobe Lightroom 3 (Mac/PC)Cloning drives Clonezilla - free linux based ISO, makes cloning drives/partitions quite easy |

Its a must if your fault finding network issues local or remote |
what we need is a wiki really.

My Top 5 (today)
PuTTy WinSCP netcat kismet ossec-hids (not really a tool as such, but I sure do use it a lot) |

:D |
nmap
putty malwarebytes zulupad ultravnc pstools |
Xplorer2 Lite (tons better than Windows Explorer)
IrfanView (small and quick picture viewer/converter/resizer with batch processing ability) CutePDF (free PDF printer) Process Explorer (see what's running) Synctoy (great for syncing tools/apps on your USB drive with a folder on your HDD) Cobian Backup (good freeware backup software) Everest (formerly Aida32, great system information program - good for IDing the RAM or M/board or whatever without having to open the case) VMware Player (you can create a VMware machine with VMware Workstation and then install the free VMware Player on the custmers PC to run that machine) |
http://www.xmarks.com/ - synchronise bookmarks between computers, browsers.
www.logmein.com - easy remote access to your machines (free, saves the need for freedns or pinholing) www.teamviewer.com - quickly and easy way to log into someone's machine when they need help |

Fantastic thread.
I just have a couple here to list. as a lot of useful tools I use have been listed or are commercial/enterprise level. TightVNC Diskimage A few here I've never heard of (clonezilla for one. which I'll try out when I upgrade my laptop's HD tomorrow), be neat if this turns into a huge list of free/open source tools that work on as well as some commercial products. |
http://ninite.com/ - huge time saver
|
whoa... ninite being one of the best new ones for me in this thread, nice!
|
|
Also - For you command-line warriors that know & like the Posix tools available in *nix but are forced to work in Windows: UnixUtils.

What do people use for just certain files/directories? Ideally with versioning/incrementals etc. |
Quote:

Quote:
Although that leads to problems if you wanted to restore a chain of incrementals. Is there a better way to do this than extract the Full then each Incremental to the same place, overwriting each time? |
Quote:
Is there provision for installing the apps to non-std locations (e.g. a drive other than C:\)? |
Quote:
Possibly with Ninite Pro - I haven't looked into that. EDIT: Apparently not. |
nice thread.

ninite review with alternatives:
http://www.techandlife.com/2010/04/s...are-installer/ sounds like AllMyApps might be better |

Does anyone have some links to good server auditing/documentation software similar to what AIDA64 spits out?
|
|
http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...list-world.htm
most comprehensive list of free security tools / firewall / network / useful applications / computer fixing / backup / encryption / everything |
does anyone remember a certain network program that had a bunch of buttons for various tools across the top including tracert/ping graphs and the like, along with lookups and the likes? each tool would open in a new subwindow. quite a few years old now
