There are a lot of different zipping and unzipping programs out there today. Some are free, some are expensive, but they all share one trait. It seems like none of them have exactly everything you need with a zipping and unzipping utility. That was my mindset at least until I found ZipGenius.ZipGenius does just about everything but take out your trash and mow your lawn. Do you want a long list of features to browse through? ZipGenius has more than enough features to keep you busy. After receiving feedback and complaints and suggestions over the previous version of the program, the programmers have gone in and fixed every issue. I like to hear software companies that are willing to change a few things due to a customer or client suggestions. What all can you zip and unzip? ZipGenius supports 21 types of compression and file encoding formats. That should cover just about all of your bases.
Don't like the way that the program looks? Just go and download a new skin for it.

Newzie is capable of processing RSS and Atom feeds, as well as OPML files. The fun does not stop there, though. The thing that gets me excited (and that I haven't seen before) is some of the color coding that it does as well as the news slide show feature. The news bar feature is also unique. You can have a crawl going at the top of your screen so that you can keep up with RSS headlines even when you are just blankly staring at your desktop.

the incredible detail now available in satellite photos. If you'd like to see most places from the sky, you can download Google's free software, Google Earth, to get a better look. This is a very cool program, based on the old Keyhole technology. You can type in a street address or a city name and zoom in on wonderfully detailed views. And even better, you can select "layers" to overlay on the maps, showing where various types of places are located (such as schools, banks, postal code boundaries, airports, cemeteries, restaurants, gas stations, golf courses, hospitals and many more. Our only caveat is that you need a good 3D video card and a broadband Internet connection to take advantage of it.

After taking a few digital pictures, I like to dump them onto my computer and then decide where I want to upload them online to share with friends, family, or other Gnomies. Going through a big assortment of pictures, and resizing each one for the Web can be more work than it is worth, though. Going through each one, one by one, is not a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. RPictureResize is a nice little application that does all that hard work for you. All you have to do is load up all the images inside the program, then set the percentage you want them to be downsized to. Let us say, for example, you want all your pictures you just took to be fifty percent smaller - about half the size. Just plug them right into RPictureResize, adjust your settings, then go back to taking your pictures. This program really makes it a breeze to resize a group of pictures, plain and simple. When a good program does the job it is supposed to do, what else could you really ask for?

If you find yourself opening the same folders or files time and time again, you may get fed up of searching through the folder menus in Windows Explorer to find them.

Folder View allows you to create a special toolbar displayed in any folder you open in Windows Explorer with buttons that give fast access to specific folders and files. This means that when you want to copy, move, save or open a file you can do so in just a couple of mouse clicks.
