for me (not in order):

winamp 2.x (usually running)
reshacker
miranda im (usually/always running)
winremote (always running)
hideoe (always running)
windows notepad
e-php
jeskola buzztracker
dscaler
utorrent (but still cant find working unPECompact 2.x, so cant reshack it)
inCD (always running)

For me, probably biased, because its the order I thought of them:
Foobar 0.9
BBlean
vi (I used to be a fan of notepad, but then I figured out how to use vi)
Notepad (I still stick to it usually, because I hate windows commandline..)
Miranda Im
AlephOne (for playing the 1st person shooter Marathon games)

Nice list beaker.
Honestly though, I prefer Azureus to utorrent, and also Exact Audio Copy over CDex, though I don't know if current versions have become crippleware or not.

Nice list beaker (esp. as 2 of my progs are on there!), although I'd add Windows Grep and <shameless self-promo>Viewtify</shameless self-promo>

Notepad-wise, I'm currently using Crimson Editor (although the icons are crap) - before that I was using Notepad++.

Does anyone know of a text editor with all these functions?

• Syntax-colouring (preferably extensible and modifiable)
• Macros
• Programmable plugins
• Insert commonly-used strings (I'd like to have the DOCTYPE strings and some lorem ipsum ready to insert)
• Tabs
• Column-mode
• Find/Replace in files with re
• Multiple charsets and linebreak options

I haven't found a notepad with everything yet... have you?

grigri,

I think PSPad does most of what your after..

http://www.pspad.com/

thanks loonsta, just downloaded it... checking it out now [looks good so far]

i see most of my apps are allready listed by beaker.

but let me add:

- toolbox (nice way to organise desktop icons. alltho i know its more or less a shooting offense to have any kind of desktop icons around here these days)

- find and run robot (sometimes its faster this way then looking thru the start menu)

- prosess tamer (just to be on the safe side)

- teatimer (part of the spybot package)

- samurize

- speedfan

- ubericon (simple feedback for clicking something in explorer)

- free download manager

- hydrairc (i must say i prefer this irc client over mirc)

that should just about cover it, or there are some others. like the combo of currports and ipnetinfo to check up on stuff from time to time.

edit:

heh, forgot about powerpro. mostly used for hotkeys. but after i found a plugin that allow me to take over the multimedia keys, i could finaly ditch that crappy creative package...

Let me think of a few off hand. I'll do a fancy full list with links later.

LiteStep, bbLean, metapad, firefox, equalizer, reshack, gimp, taskill, AVG, ad-aware, winamp, foobar, miranda, CDex, wackget... and there has to be more.

Those are all freeware (or have free versions), btw.

Hey Beaker, I'm having some problems w/ your apps. I REALLY loved HTML Dock, but I cant seem to make it work on most of my systems.. Additionaly, I can't make alot of the rest of them work. I get the following Error: Aplication Failed To Initialize properly (Oxc0000135) Click on OK to terminate the application

Any Idea what I'm missing?

OzonesDeck , which app(s) are you having trouble with? Do you mean the stuff from my top 20 list, or stuff from beaker.vp.net? If it's the stuff from beaker.vp.net, then you need to install the .NET framework. I didn't create HTML dock is why i'm asking...Toolbar Control was my first app.

hobgoblin, I use hydraIRC for IRC as well. I just don't IRC much! I'll have to look into powerpro.

grigri, I think a blend of notepad2 and notepad++ would be perfect. notepad2 is lean but missing some key functionality (sorting, column highlighting) while notepad++ feels a bit clunky to me. The fact that notepad2 bumped Araneae off my list is a strong testament to how much I like it.

Blackened, I used to use Azureus, but after I tried uTorrent I was hooked. It does everything that I did in Azureus (bandwidth limiting, auto-scanning for new torrents) but with a MUCH smaller footprint. I have an old machine that I use to do my downloading, so resource usage is big on my list for BitTorrent clients. I know CDex and EAC are almost identical in functionality, you could toss a coin and be happy with either of them I just happened to find CDex first...

See, these lists are awesome. They're grerat at pointing out undiscovered and similar applications.

Yeah you need the .net framework for HTML dock. I'm considering converting it from C# to C++ but I don't know the API's enough for that.

beaker, you will be surprised at the power of powerpro

hell, just now i found that i could use it to hide tray icons i dont need, but still have them listed in a floating bar by clicking a tray icon

no more need for traymanager for me. and it even managed to take care of a tray icon that traymanager could not handle (ubericon. for some reason traymanager only had a totaly blank entry for it).

still, this involves me editing something like three diffrent places each time i need to add or remove a icon from the list...
