The Wonderful Icon v2.2

{Free} [282k] [Win98/ME/2k/XP]

The Wonderful Icon is a small program that adds a single icon to your system tray, from which you can perform dozens of very useful functions. You can minimize any program or folder to the system tray, bounce windows to the edges of the screen, set windows to be on top, adjust the volume, empty the recycle bin, start your screensaver… you name it!

The program comes with a large selection of pre-configured actions from which you can easily build a custom tray icon menu that includes all the functions you want to use. In addition, The Wonderful Icon can also act as a hotkey launcher to start applications, adjust your volume, emulate keyboard and mouse actions, and much more.

M8

{Free}

M8 is the simplest of all multi-clipboard programs. Just have it running minimized and it captures everything you cut or copy from other programs. It keeps the last 30 clips. When you want to paste one back, all you have to do is restore M8 and click on the clip you want. If you prefer to work entirely from the keyboard, you can choose a function key to restore M8 and then paste any clip by typing the letter shown next to it. When you move the mouse over the clips, you can see them in the viewer. If the clip is text, you see several lines and if it is a graphic, you see a thumbnail.

Freewebs
by: Brandon Doyle

Freewebs.com
I’ve been running an Internet business since 2004. It has been a fun, profitable venture.

One thing I’ve learned is to find a good hosting service and stick with it.

I signed up with Freewebs in 2001 and later purchased two domain names. A good company will make you reluctant to deal with the hassles of moving web sites. Believe me, the tweaking involved in moving sites to different servers will make you pull your hair out.

Profit is the bottom line. Your profit depends on uptime, easy-to-reach tech support who will help you put out fires, and a reasonable fee.

Speaking from five years of experience, Freewebs provides all three. I fully recommend it.
