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

                                      Google and sometimes Bing.

                                      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

                                        Visual Studio 2003 SP1 and 2008 SP1. Inno Setup[^], probably the best installer tool set ever made. Paint.NET[^] Process Explorer[^] from the SysInternals tool set. ZoomIn.exe from Visual C++ 6.0. Trace Viewer, an in-house debugging tool for distributed applications.

                                        ah Paint.net I use GIMP. But is does stand to reason that you need some picture editing tool. I also love color picker. http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/[^] I was already assuming Visual Studio and the assorted MS tools that most of us use anyway. SQL Mgmt Studio etc...

                                          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
