eNotes v1.0
With eNotes, you can finally throw out those old scraps of paper and display sticky-style notes directly on your desktop. It uses rich text format (RTF), so you can format your snippets using colours, font styles, font sizes, and paragraph properties. The application also sports smart caption bars; simply click on a caption and type in the title of your reminder. When you modify a note, the program automatically saves the changes. There are also plenty of keyboard shortcuts and hot keys to help you navigate through your notes, and you can set alarms for each individual reminder. This is a 30 day trial and requires Windows 95/98/NT. Install - Remember to 'Run the program from its current location'.



diskSpace Explorer 2000 v2.1
diskSpace Explorer uses powerful analysis tools, interactive pie charts, and an Explorer-style interface to reveal exactly how much space is wasted on your drives. The program can also predict how much space you could recover given another file system. Use diskSpace Explorer's zooming capabilities to take a closer look at subdirectories and individual folders, or move your cursor over the pie chart to see detailed information about specific items of interest. This is freeware and requires Windows 95/98/NT in order to run. Install - Remember to 'Run the program from its current location'.
