TextSTAT v2.7
Description:
TextSTAT is a simple programme for the analysis of texts. It reads ASCII/ANSI texts (in different encodings) and HTML files (directly from the internet) and it produces word frequency lists and concordances from these files.
This version includes a web-spider which reads as many pages as you want from a particular website and puts them in a TextSTAT-corpus. The new news-reader puts news messages in a TextSTAT-readable corpus file.
TextSTAT now reads MS Word and OpenOffice files (OOo 1 (.sxw) and 2 (.odt)). No conversion needed, just add the files to your corpus...
In TextSTAT you can use regular expression which provides you with powerful search possibilities. The programme is multilingual. Because it uses Unicode internally, TextSTAT can cope with many different languages and file encodings.
This version includes everything you need to use TextSTAT with Windows. It comes as a single installation file. To install the programme, just unpack the file to a directory of your choice (you will be asked for the programme directory). To run TextSTAT, change to that directory and doubleclick on 'TextSTAT.exe'. That's it. If you decide to have a shortcut from the desktop or the start menu, you'll have to create the shortcut yourself.
Uninstall: Since TextSTAT doesn't change your registry or other system components, you can savely delete the directory in which you installed the programme. After that, TextSTAT will be completely removed from your system.

Folder Jockey v1.3
Description:
Folder Jockey is a Windows shell and desktop utility designed to save you time with easy-to-use shortcuts. Instead of always hunting through Windows Explorer to find the folder you need, just use Folder Jockey to go there immediately!
Folder Jockey lets you organize as many shortcuts to folders on your hard drive as you want. You can click the Folder Jockey tray icon at any time to go right to what you need. You can assign hotkeys to your folder shortcuts, too - for example, you can make Ctrl+Alt+D open your downloads folder instantly, instead of clicking Windows Explorer, clicking My Computer, clicking C:, clicking... you get the idea! With the Folder Jockey shell extension, setting a folder shortcut is as simple as right-clicking the folder.
Akamai Folder Jockey - Get to your folders fast.
How it works:
* Folder Jockey sits in your tray, which is where your clock is on your taskbar. Folder Jockey's "golden folder" icon lets you know Folder Jockey is active.
* Right-clicking the Folder Jockey icon on the tray gives you a fast menu which includes all of your folder shortcuts. Clicking a shortcut opens a new Windows Explorer window at the folder. This is sometimes called a tray launcher.
* You can add folder shortcuts from within Folder Jockey. Just left-click the Folder Jockey icon in your tray, then click the "New Shortcut" button on the folder shortcuts display. You can paste in a path, type it in, or select the folder visually. If you visually select the folder, you can also make shortcuts to network folders.
* Or, from Windows Explorer, right-click a folder you need a shortcut for, and select Add to Folder Jockey from the context menu. This is typically the fastest way to add a new shortcut. This is known as a shell extension.
* At any time you create a new shortcut or edit an existing shortcut in Folder Jockey, you can optionally specify a hotkey for the shortcut. A hotkey is a combination of keys that you press anywhere in Windows to immediately open an new Windows Explorer window at the folder for the shortcut.
Requirements:
Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP.

Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

Autoruns works on all versions of Windows including 64-bit versions.

Taskbar Button Manager
Description:
Taskbar Button Manager is a simple utility that helps you arrange the buttons on your Windows taskbar in any way you want by using drag and drop. Moving your task buttons is very easy, no hotkey needed.
In addition to drag and drop you can also use a special program window for moving the taskbar buttons. You can hide running programs too, so they don't show on your taskbar. The program works in all situations – even when the taskbar buttons are grouped or when the taskbar is not located in the standard bottom area of the screen.
This program is free and does not contain spyware or adware of any kind. The maker of this program, Innovative Solutions, is strongly opposed to spyware or adware.
This program is designed to run on Microsoft Windows XP, including the first edition and Service Packs 1 and 2 (SP1, SP2).
Here is how to move a taskbar button using drag and drop:
* Move your mouse inside the taskbar button
* Press the left mouse button, and keep it pressed
* While keeping the left mouse button pressed, move the mouse to the place where you want to put the button
* Release the mouse button
The taskbar button will be dropped into the new location (where you have released the mouse button).
Note:
While moving the mouse you will see a blue bubble which informs you about the place where the button will be dropped. Please note that the bubble doesn't always appear - it appears only when you perform the operation slowly. If you drag and drop the taskbar buttons quickly, the taskbar buttons will be moved according to your drag-and-drop, but the blue information bubble will NOT appear. This feature is designed for expert users who want to quickly rearrange the buttons without visual noise.
How to arrange taskbar buttons using the Taskbar Button Manager window
If you double-click the Taskbar Button Manager icon in the system tray, the Taskbar Button Manager window will appear. This is an alternate way to move taskbar buttons. The window contains a list of taskbar buttons. You can select any taskbar button and press the green up and down buttons to move that taskbar button.
Each taskbar button has a checkbox which is by default checked. If you uncheck the checkbox of a taskbar button, that taskbar button along with the program window of that taskbar button will be hidden.
