    Greenfish Icon Editor[^] is another free and simple one I've used in the past. Also there is a free icon plugin for Paint.NET available here[^], which is currently my icon tool of choice. It does everything I need, and integrates really well into Paint.NET.

    Alfaclock[^]. I use this and although I've only had a superficial look at stoicjoker, this offers similar functionality. Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

    Or you could try Microsoft Movie Maker 2.6[^], this is the version for Vista if the computer could not run the version that shipped in Vista. My son had to use it for an assignment over the weekend and when it wasn't in Windows 7 I found this in my searches.

    Lots of pieces from "Top 10 reasons" are outdated. They reference VS 2002 or 2005. Now we have 2010 and I think some of them are not valid anymore.

    AutoIt has been both a blessing and a curse for me! While it started out as a small scripting language for automation, it has since grown into a full programming language. It makes it so ridiculously easy to create Windows programs, including all / any controls and menus, that I used it almost exclusively at work for almost 2 years. I used it to interface with COM objects in MS Office apps to create reports from Mainframe data harvested using the COM interface of Attachmate's Extra! terminal emulation software (BTW, Attachmate did a better job than MS). I'm talking Word documents, Excel spreadsheets with graphs, Powerpoint presentations, you name it. The pointy-haired ;-D types loved it. Unfortunately, it was so easy to use that I didn't write anything in C (or anything else) for quite a while and got a little rusty.
