Useful Tools

One of the hardest things you can ever do is work at something without having the right tool available (as any mechanic, craftsman, cook, etc can tell you).

Here you will find tools to make Windows and the Internet work the way it should have in the first place. Judging on the popularity of this section, I'm not the only one that thinks so.

Windows Tools

Sometimes Windows says it won't delete, rename a file and won't let you do anything about it. Unlocker says you can.
Truecrypt - A free utility to encrypt files or even full disk drives.

Internet Tools

IP Checker - Shows your IP address and other information that your browser tells us about you.
10 Minute Mail - A web-based temporary e-mail account for recieving validation e-mails.
BugMeNot - Don't even bother using the fake mail to get an account if you can bypass the login entirely.
