Nich... 739 Posted June 24, 2009 Going to suggest teracopy - http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php - for doing large file transfers. Trying to migrate a bunch of data to a new drive I've purchased, and the windows/explorer command is shitting me up the wall. When there's a problem copying one file, in the midst of 200,000 others, I don't want the whole process to crash and burn : | Teracopy just skips problem files.

TheSecret 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Nich, you could possibly just use xcopy /c or robocopy? I'll add in JFileRecovery, which I've had luck with when I haven't had access to better tools. It's Java though, not specifically windows... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowiee 12 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Another file recovery program that I have used many times is pcinspector Oh and Webshots I have been using their program for years to display my photos as wallpaper/screensaver. EDIT: Here is a free converter so if you ever want to extract photos from webshots you can. I only use copies of my photos for webshots but some people may forget and find it hard to extract their photos back from webshots, because it stores them in an unusual file type, and this program does it with no fuss.

bu14-1 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Softpedia maybe? (has other licenses) PortableApps.com Safari? Real Alternative? Lightnigh/Sunbird (Calendar) aMSN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSecret 0 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I'll also add in Daemon Tools lite, which allows you to mount ISO images as virtual CD drives in Windows, among other things. I quite like ISOBuster as tool for manipulating ISO and some other image formats. Also, I think IrfanView should be under Graphic Management rather than viewer, as it can be used for batch conversion, renaming, sorting..viewing would be the least of its features.

robzy 132 Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Is TMPGEnc free? Last time I checked it wasn't. [edit]: It seems as though it's free-ish. The MPEG2 encoder in it is not. Rob. Edited July 5, 2009 by robzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSecret 0 Posted July 6, 2009 I'm going to go ahead and ask that mIRC be included in the list. It is not mandatory to register and pay for the software, and you are free to continue using it if you choose not to. This is no different to some of the other software in the list, which is free but bugs you to register. I submit this screenshot as my evidence... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
