I'll avail to mention you an app which i think you haven't mentioned and which i find extremely handful, since it saves me a lot of clicking when looking for something within folders and it is KO Approach ( http://www.koapproach.com ).

From the Koapproach website:
Just click on any folder in Windows Explorer, hold down the mouse key and a menu will appear, displaying the contents of the selected folder as a list of items. Highlight folder icons to expand sub-menus and move further down your directory structure, or select a file to open it in the same the way you do it from the Start menu. It's that simple.

Have you ever been at http://www.pandora.com? This is a nice site because apart of playing one's favorite musicians it introduce new ones based on similarities to the ones one selected, therefore there is a grand opportunity to get to now new music of, more or less, one's taste.

I've been there and I like it. It was mentioned in this newsletter by Tiffany, who wrote in to tell me about it on Jan 22, 2006

There's a great number of Notepad's replacement in the Net, some great and some less great (for everyone taste), but there is one that is worth to look at due to the time that should have taken to make such an original and detailed work, it's DocPad (http://gammadyne.com). And as you recently made reference to ZuluPad i use Xpad that is similar but a bit nicer (question of taste), have a look at it at http://www.mcrenox.com.ar/xpad.

DocPad

From the DocPad page:
DocPad is a superior alternative to Notepad. Although it fills the same role, plain text editing, it has many advantages: 10-level undo, alphabetization, block indent/unindent, bookmark, case conversion, encoding conversion, file history, jump to line, jump to offset, keyboard macros, print preview, search and replace, spell checking, statistics, variable pitch font, and much more. It also includes a built-in calculator, calendar, and character map.

XPad

From the XPad page:
Powerful and simple text editor, with multiple clipboard and automatic copy selection to clipboard feature; links, e-mail and file path managing, capable to open Windows, Linux and Apple text file formats. Supports UTF-8 encoding. Much more complete than the Windows Notepad, a good replacement for this.

Thanking you beforehand for your reply and your time and wishing you too are having fun i leave you for the moment. Adieu.

More tips - Oct 2006

Hi Clif!

I thought that i got to know about NoteTab Light ( http://www.notetab.com/ntl.php ) from you, but looking through the Reviews I noticed that it isn't among them. It's worth knowing this program exists.




OpenExpert ( http://www.baxbex.com ) is an app that eliminates the monopoly that certain programs impose on files, thus it brings variety to play a role when working with files.



FKeys ( http://www.max2k.com ) brings actual functionality to the function keys, making them work as launchers and to want more than that (one push (press) launcher) is just stepping into the realm of slothfulness.



Finally, to put some visual spice into the conventional uniformity of windows comes Windowpaper XP ( http://www.sodabush.com ).



Adieu.

Nob
