Here's Phil Kreiker's compilation of Windows Dressing you simply must have.

Attachment Options is an add-in for Outlook 2000 SP3 or higher, Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2003 that provides a user interface for changing which attachment file types are hidden by Outlook, and thus cannot be seen, saved or opened from Outlook.

If you want to receive .exe files from someone you trust, this is the way to go.

Buying Symantec's Norton GoBack 3.0 was the best investment I ever made.

You can roll back your system to a healthy state after a viral infection, system problem,  or user error. I'm no longer afraid of installing software downloaded from the Internet, because I always know I can put things back the way they were.

You can retrieve deleted files files, restore a previous version of a file, and recover files or a an entire hard drive. When developing software, it's easy to GoBack to before things started going bad.

I will never own a PC without GoBack; at $39.95, neither should you

Buzof

Are you annoyed by the continual assaults of spurious messages and confirmation prompts? Would you like to get rid of dialog boxes such as these?

Buzof, by Basta Computing automatically answers, closes or minimizes virtually any recurring window including messages, prompts, and dialog boxes. You just teach Buzof how to click the button that you would normally click to get rid of the annoying window.

This shareware program has a 30-day evaluation period. The price of a single end-user license to is US$15.00. I purchased my license the first day I tried it.

Attach!

If you've ever sent e-mail without attaching the attachments,  Attach! from KMGI is for you.

This freeware add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002, and 2003  automatically scans your outgoing email for 'trigger words' that you can define yourself.

If an attachment is mentioned, but there are no attachments, you're given the options to attach a single file, or to send the e-mail as is.

AllChars for Windows

If you use special characters not on your keyboard, such as ®, ¼, °,  è, or ñ,  AllChars for Windows is for youl

This freeware add-in for Windows maps user defined key sequences into special characters; e.g., <ctrl>,c,o for ®, <ctrl>,~,n for  ñ. I regret I hadn't found it sooner.

PrintKey 2002 Version 5.10

This freeware add-in for Windows, by Alfred Bolliger, is activated when you press the PrtSc Key.  It allows you to capture the entire screen or any portion of it.

You can then edit the screen capture, and save it in a number of graphic formats, and/or print it.
