    You need a utility to rotate JPGs?!

    If you like [*-deleted word-*] like Fotoalbum, check out "picasa" from download.com. You wont look back.

    Here are two free ones that are highly recommended.

    Pop peeper. Works for POP3 accounts and with yahoo and hotmail. I use it while online to monitor incoming email. Fast and uses minimal resources. It's a must have for me.

    2X Explorer is another fine program. It's fast, uses little resources and uses two panes to manage files. Another must have.

    TP109,

    How do you use 'pop peeper' to access Yahoo? Do you need to have pop3 with Yahoo, or is it a web based alternative way of doing it?

    The yahoo mail feature is built in. All you need to do is select it. It works perfectly. An no, you don't need a POP3 account with yahoo, just a regular free account.

    If you use trillian for instant messaging it shows you mail notifications in a pretty neat manner too. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com

    Have to agree with erick_p,,boot up Trillian,open Yahoo/ M$N,or whatever and it pops up a bubble telling you you have mail and how many. Then just log on from there. And you don't have to have the chat programs installed. Just need an account name.Neat lil' program imo...

    Pop Peeper instantly displays the message headers for every account on a single list, you can then delete messages based on the header, or read, and reply to messages from within the program. It is much better than e-prompter and other notification type programs I have tried.

    I just gotta ask. I don't use MSN Messenger but my wife does. I think she uses version 6.4 but her version has those features. Am I missing something, maybe like bloating software or ??? MSN Messenger is free and is a part of windows 98SE.
    I have been following these "tips" and am enjoying all of them. Keep 'em coming.

    Just hurriedly looked through your great recommendations but I did not see EndItAll. If you do a lot of Ctrl/Alt/Delete to close running apps individually, you'll love this 'un. It is free and there are to two versions. I prefer the older version but both can be found by using Google and type the name in.
