ClipTrakker
| File Size: 1.09 MB | Cost: US$25
ClipTrakker is a must-have clipboard enhancement/replacement. It automatically tracks
every piece of data that goes onto the clipboard for later use, generates graphical
thumbnails for each clipboard snapshot, and support complex OLE data types natively, not
just text or pictures.MenuSnap
| File Size: 21 KB | Cost: Free
If you have IE4 (or later) or Windows 98, you should have noticed that you can sort items
on start menu or favorites folder in the order you want. But unfortunatley, all future
items will be added at the bottom and won't be sorted alphabetically anymore. MenuSnap
fixes this problem.
Hace
ShellGem
| File Size: 329 KB | Cost: Free
This is one of the most useful tools for me. Hace ShellGem will add serius helpful items
to the right click context menu. When you right click a folder's icon, you will have a
submenu that shows that folder contents, so you can access any file without opening that
folder!! such convenient!!! You will also have several more options like: copy, move,
extract zip files to any folder you want. All that just two or three clicks away. It's a
must have. Download now!! |

Answering Machine
| File Size: 107 KB | Cost: Free
Voice mail was a Godsend for those of us dialing up the Internet with only one phone line.
You can enable call waiting to kick you off when someone calls, but that's not always
practical (especially when you don't want to talk to the caller). What about a pseudo
caller ID that alerts you when someone is calling without breaking your connection?
"Callers will hear a brief greeting after which they can leave a short message."
You'll hear it instantly.

Pointix Pop-Mouse
| File Size: 2.1 MB | Cost: US$16.95
Pointix is a unique way of operating your mouse that increases screen space and cuts down
on repetitive movements. Rather than relying on toolbars or buttons, this program
uses mouse movements (glicks) to trigger floating menus for your most frequently used
commands. With Pointix, you don't need to move from one screen point to the next
to reach the commands you use most -- those commands appear instantly with only slight
mouse movements, such as circles and back and forth motions. Pointix interprets four
glicks, which in turn can be combined with the Control and Shift keys to trigger up to 12
different commands. The assignment of glicks to commands can be customized to cover the
needs of different users. All Pointix commands are stored in modules, and you can store
groups of modules programmed for specific applications. This program has a slight learning
curve, but it can increase your efficiency. This update includes 32-bit technology, making
the program run smoothly in Windows 95.ToggleMOUSE

ToggleMOUSE adds power to your mouse, helping you to save time and work faster. Winner of
numerous awards, ToggleMOUSE is the best in cursor software technology. Don't buy a new

mouse util... |
