:omg: That's pretty scary, Rex.

I am that way too :) Its odd because I HATE the XP feature that groups like apps together.

I have really enjoyed the use of two applications recently that fill a very small niche for me. One is Taskbar Manager by Askarya (he's got some other cool stuff to): http://www.askarya.com/index.asp[^] This application allows you to drag/arrange programs down in your taskbar. For really anal-types like myself (yes I'll admit it) the taskbar applications must be ordered and placed. {Explorer}-{Outlook}-{Browsers}-{VS IDE}-{Iron Speed}-{OMEA Pro}-{Yeah You Get The Idea} Invariably though, something might go wrong. I could click a close button on accident, an application could lock-up etc... So then when I re-open it it's now in the wrong place. TBM by Askarya lets me drag it where it belongs on the taskbar and is rock-solid and stable. (Never tried it with Window Blinds but that's a product I won't use in the same sentance as rock-solid or stable.) The other product is Genie Outlook Backup: http://www.genie-soft.com/products/olb/default.html[^] I'm *SO* lazy when it comes to administrative tasks. I don't want to have to copy my .pst files, my email account settings and all that jazz manually. I just hate it and I forget something. The above program backed up my 1.6 GB .pst file and all my pop mail settings in less than 10 minutes. It even builds a self-installing .exe file for me and within 10 minutes all my mail, folders and settings were on my new machine and ready to go. I make zero money from this. I don't have a clue who these companies really are and if they test using animals, lead-paint or depleted uranium. I don't have a clue. I know I enjoy their products and thought I'd share them here for anyone needing that niche product. Anyway two programs I enjoy and both reasonably price. If you know of free equivalents I'd be very happy to investigate them for comparability. - Rex

I just started using FogBugz[^] and it definitely is my favorite application of the week. :) Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

yup.. the group button feature is the first thing that I disable on every "format c:" of my desktop :) After that I enable details listing and "show hidden files" in explorer and classic view in control panel :D TBEditor: a pandapowered app!

That's awesome. Can customers go to it an enter cases or is it strictly a team-side application where a member of the development team has to create the bug report?

A project can be set up either as internal or public and if public you do NOT need customer licenses for them to add cases, which is sweet. For example, I bought a single license version for my website and people can use FogBugz to enter bugs for all of my articles. Hmmm. That may not be desirable. :-D Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

Very cool. I just registered at your site so I could submit a sample bug but couldn't find the bug submission process. Admittedly this isn't a bad thing from your perspective :laugh: but I'd love to see it in action. I requested a trial on the site but they said 72 hour wait... Direct email me a link if you want some help testing. :) I've been itching for a product like this for a while. - Rex

I haven't provided a direct link yet. This is hot off the press. In fact, you're the second to know. Here's the URL[^]. There's a public "Test Project". :) Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

We use FogBugz at work. Very cool stuff. :)
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson

SciTE and Trillian are two apps i'd be very unhappy without.
My god, you're a genius! - Jörgen Sigvardsson, The Lounge
And GreaseMonkey[^] ;)

Okay, I'm sold. That's a pretty cool product. I think I'll be picking up a license. You might have to add a FogBugz Tips & Tricks section because I imagine both you and I will want to customize that a bit. :)

Ah, if we're including Firefox extensions, then the WebDeveloper extension also ranks pretty high in my book. And Sage. And SpellBound.

Ditto on WebDev. I'd have to toss in All in One Gestures and the Gmail Notifier as well. Oh...and the delicious extension...way cool stuff. :)

Lets not forget turning off the option to 'hide extensions of known file types'! UGH I hate that one.

Firefox is becoming less of an application and more of a container for other applications to reside in. I mean you can use it as a browser, editor, FTP program, mail client and I've only covered 4 of the several hundred fully-blown application extensions that are available for that application er uh container.

Gives a whole 'nother take on the "Browser as a platform" idea, eh? Wait 'till we start seeing web apps that use Firefox-specific forms (XUL)... ;)
