    I was just discussing with a new programmer and I always install the following. Virtual Clone Drive 7-zip System Internals WinDirStat What do you use? That might be good for him. I am so used to these they are just my stand by utilities on any windows machine. http://rnbergren.blogspot.com

      I use winrar, since I have had it for some time and simply do not wish to change something that still works.

      I use magic disk for this one. works quite well. I also like to use notepad++ for quick viewing of code or comparisons when I do not wish to fire up the full IDE. Notepad++ will color the code similar to an IDE and lets you open multiple tabs etc etc. Also has a lot of plugins and stuff supposedly that I have not even touched yet.

      Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

                        It's hard to categorize firearms. They cool be tools, toys, sporting equipment, or even sexual aids. :)
