advice for users |
| 1. IrfanView |
iview361.zip
|
1. Put it on your desktop and 'drag and drop' any visual
file onto the Iview icon
2. Use Image>Enhance Colours>red green and blue to change
colours
3. If an image is in Iview, press Enter to convert to a slide
show - use PgUp/Dn
4. convert images from JPG to GIF, and other formats
|
| 2. ENZip |
enzip300.exe |
many files are compressed (zipped) for transmission
over the internet. ENZip unzips them again in a very neat way |
| 3 FTP |
ftpx.zip |
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol - this is
a very useful utility for uploading and downloading files to
your site (thought the control panel utility is fine for single
file uploads) |
| 4. Hard Copy |
HCSetup.zip |
This is a wonderful program - install it, and
there is a tiny icon in 'the tray' (next to the clock. Click
on this with the right button (the left does a 'print screen'),
choose capture rectangle, then click and drag round whatever
you want a snapshot of ! When you get a good result, save it
! |
| 5. I Disk |
idisk-win361.zip |
A neat little programme that shows you the sizes
of all your directories on your hard disk simultaneously (Windows
is very frustratiing for this !) |
| then, less seriously |
|
|
| 6. Sheep Football |
sheepfootball.exe |
Sheep are awful at football, but this is my favourite
screen saver ! |
| 7. Stress buster |
stressreducers.exe |
Sometimes you just need something like this !
- Bash your bad desktop icons |
To download, click on the file that you want, then click "SAVE
to disk" and put it in a 'download directory' on your hard
disk. All of these programs have behaved well for me. But, BEWARE,
the files are quite large to download with a modem !
