What I use

This is a list of my favorite software I use on my PC.

	Microsoft Windows 7 A new revolution in user eXPerience, with the technical improvements of Windows Vista, optimized performance and new features.
	Windows Media Player Very good software for listening to music, and since Windows 7 good for videos too, thanks to preinstalled codecs and light-weight user interface for reproduction.
	Windows Internet Explorer 8 Not  as many plugins as Firefox, but it is faster, supports web-slices and accelerators, less cluttered UI and SmartScreen filter works better than Firefox one (anyway I hate IE6).
	Microsoft Office 2010 The best office suite, now with advanced collaboration features and web interface.
	Windows Live Writer The awesome tool I'm using to write this blog.
	Windows Live Messenger Good instant messaging application (without Messenger Plus or other dumb extensions, and with emoticons disabled)
	Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 It's a paradise for developers. Intellisense, real-time error checker, the beauty of the .NET Framework, Language Integrated Queries, perfect user experience.
	Windows PowerShell A wonderful .NET scripting environment. "Everything is a file" in linux? "Everything is an Object" with PowerShell.
	Windows Live Mail Good mail and RSS reader.
	VirusTotal I don't use a real-time antivirus. Just a bit of good sense: I use Windows Updates, I don't install scareware and fake antivirus, SuperMagicVideoCodec.exe, Serial.exe, etc. If a program look suspicious to me, I upload it to VirusTotal, where it will be scanned by 30+ different antivirus products.
	Notepad2 Advanced text-editor. Uncluttered UI, zoom with CTRL+mouse wheel, syntax colorization.
	WinDirStat Very useful tool to understand where the disk space is used
	AutoRuns See everything is loaded on startup: drivers, shell extensions, etc. Makes possible to filter Microsoft entries and can check digital signatures of these files. Every entry can be disabled or deleted.
	Smart Sniff Program to see the TCP/UDP traffic of running applications, I use it for HTTP automation tools.
	Resource Hacker Extracts or replaces icons, bitmaps and dialog boxes from Win32 files.
	Process Explorer Very useful task manager from Microsoft. Makes possible to understand exactly what is happening on a computer.
	ArtIcons Icon editor. Many features, light-weight, good user experience.
	AutoIt3 Handy scripting language to automate tasks, set customized hotkeys and create simple Win32 executables.
	CMenu Organizes the context-menu in sub-menus (Unlocker, VirusTotal, PEID, TrID, Universal Extractor, Notepad, Copy path, Change extension))

FreeTinker

FreeTinker is a clone of Microsoft Tinker (available as Windows Ultimate Extra for Windows Vista Ultimate users)

It is a puzzle game in which the player controls a robot through various mazes and obstacle courses. It includes 9 levels

 

 

How to play

See http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/629c52bd-257b-4d5b-a53a-c04d41262ee51033.mspx for original Microsoft Tinker help.

Differences from Microsoft Tinker

• Lasers, mirrors and magnets don't exist
• Unluckily I had no time to reverse-engineer Microsoft Tinker levels, so the two formats are incompatible
• No high-quality 3D animations and sounds
• Minimalist UI, just a menu (Restart level, Load level, Help, Exit) and the battery energy on the top-right corner of the screen
• Some bugs

This projects has been my high school thesis, here is the XPS file (in Italian): Tesina Tinker.xps

Software Settings Backup Tool

Software Settings Backup Tool saves (and restores) the settings of your programs in a folder. If you reinstall Windows, you don't need to reconfigure manually your programs.

You can also export the settings from an old computer and import them to a new computer. The program works also if you restore the settings in a computer with different language, user name or system folders (eg: "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data" and "V:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Dati Applicazioni" are the some thing for the program). You can choose the program settings you want to back up and add other programs.
