Note: I am little-by-little building an organized site map page as this page is too cluttered to be of any use.
as I put a program in the site map it will be deleted from this page.
If you can read this, the site map page is functional but not complete.
The point of this site is access to specialized software that is otherwise not available (along with some minor show-boating). You will not find these goodies on other sites that have loads of programs. I do envy their quantities, but most of the freeware places all have the same stuff. I will add new programs as they are written.
As is the norm, specialized software is not useful to all people. If these programs are not useful to you, oh-well; try somewhere else.
None of these programs require installation or write to registry. They do not create folders or settings here-&-there (other than the local .ini). If you don't want the program anymore, delete it. Done deal, no parts or pieces remain.
None of these contain spyware or viruses. However, you should always scan a download BEFORE you open it (unless you know the person you're getting it from). It doesn't take that long & is good to develop in to a habit that you 'just do' without thinking.
Source codes available on request, but it may take me a day or two to send it.
All are extensively tested in Win XP SP3 by myself. Unless otherwise noted, they have not been tested in Vista or 7. If not compatible with your OS, typical worst-case is flicker or failure to open. If it worries you, do not download. All come with money-back warranty (note that all are free).
| redslider.exe |
redSlider.exe
This is an animated toolbar. The point is to get 7 shortcuts in 1 space. Available in red, green, blue, black & rainbow (7x5 shortcuts in 5 spaces on quicklaunch) Each differant color writes a different .ini; "red.ini, green.ini", etc.
The slider should be in a folder on account of it makes a .ini file that you don't need floating around God-knows-where. Then put a shortcut to the .exe in quickLaunch. 100% practicality would dictate having a folder with the shortcuts in it rather than the toolbar. Practical can be very boring. We would wear surgical scrub outfits if we were practical. Women would wear comfortable rather than showy outfits. The toolbar is cool & useful. Enjoy.
Most of the code on this one is by others. I did some adapting, but not much. When it's my own code, believe-you-me, I'll let you know.
Tested & O.K.with win7 64.

As I am just starting this site I do not have a special 'downloads page' & am still figuring out where I am going in page design. If you want one of the other sliders or need help on their use,
Edit: I had to delete my email address. If you need or want sources, leave a comment on "so what is this stuff" page. I will see it within a week.
Most of the newer programs will have a "source button" that will spit-out an .au3 file source-code of the program.
More programs are on the way.
Edit: it appears that this is the 'downloads' page. >>>>>>>>>>(Directly below is an Advertisement. The rest are my programs to download).
In 2011 I (on paper) made $ 0.03 from the ads; so you don't really need to think of them as paid ads; just ads.....
Edit: I'm up to $1.59 from the ads (they payout at $100.00)
Edit: up to $1.55??? ; somehow lost 4¢! At current progress I will get that first check in 129 years.

| copybutton.exe |
Xcopy GUI.exe
xcopy is a really nice native Windows function for copying large files that would normally crash your unit. It is seldom used because it is a command-line function & has no user interface (you gotta open the black screen with white writing & know code stuff, no buttons or mouse allowed).
This little unit gives you a user interface for xcopy. I haven't gotten around to switch controls yet & the switches /s/c/k/d/y are in use in this program.
It works nicely as a backup program. There are 3 buttons; 'Input' (tree view), 'Output' (tree view), & 'Run'. Figure it out from there.
This should be in a folder as it makes a .ini file. Unless you change input or output, just click 'Run' & it will repeat the last copy assignment, but only copying files that have changed since last time. xcopy has an 'exclude' function that is handy for backup, but I have not gotten it to work in a user-friendly fashion. It is a simple enough thing, once you know how, but I do not know how yet & am reluctant to unleash experimental stuff on an unsuspecting public (they might quit being unsuspecting).
Edit: xcopyguis (it is xcopy GUI+S but the sites' uploader reads it as xcopyguis) has switch controls. You will need to at least use the /s for copying folders. for individual files; I would not bother to open this program (unless it's scheduled). A new version with 'exclude' is complete & seems good-to-go, but it needs lots of testing before release.
Edit: testing is done. We have switches & excludes. CopyButton.exe is for scheduled run of XcopyGUI_SE. It opens the program, taps the 'run' button & exits.

| comics.zip |
Comics.zip
This is a spin-off on redSlider.exe. It's called Mega-Slider #12 on account of I gave it 12 buttons. The reason It's in a zip is I've included the .ini (so it had to be in a folder). The .ini file is full of links to sites for viewing comics like: Dilbert, Doonesbury, Rubes, F-Minus, etc. If you get rid of the .ini, It will make its' own blank one & you can set it up as launcher/shortcut to 12 different items. The items need not be comics. You can also change which comics it has with the config mode. Easy to use. Like many programs, even easier to not-use.

DF.exe (full auto)
O.K.-so why do you need another defrag program? Especially one that is native windows, has the stripes & really is no different!......... (You don't)
The value of this unit is: " set it & forget it". It does a native Win dfrg.msc (the one with the stripes). Once opened, It does its' thing & shuts off. No need to authorize, click on O.K., or close the program. My program opens Win dfrg.msc & clicks on 'defrag' (by itself), when the defrag thing is done, it clicks on 'close' (by itself). So- you can open it & move to the next machine(s).
The usefullness only becomes apparent if you have to do several machines at a time, along with Disclean & scan for rootkits and kinda need to get this done before everyone shows-up at 8:00 A.M. -Preferably with at least 15 min to spare . (it saves steps). It is not superior to Win defrag-it just turns on Win defrag & shuts it off when done.

Another #12 toolbar (blue #12). The .ini is loaded with: 6 jazz radio stations, 1 directory of jazz stations, 4 not-yet-configured buttons & 1 Live Rust. Live Rust is a station that plays non-stop live cuts of Neal Young; but only from late friday thru late sunday.

PrintScreen.exe
Another one with NO user interface! ...Once opened, press the printScreen button (just to the right of the F12 on the keyboard) and a .jpg picture named "1.jpg" will appear in "my documents" (yours' that is). press again & 00002.jpg appears. Next, 00003 & etc.
Yes, I screwed-up the numbering system & there is no 00001, but it's a really easy way to take lots of pictures of your screen. To exit, press ESC.
You now know ALL of the controls for this program.
I made it for taking pictures while hunting wild viri during virus safari. This is a new sport that I am trying to develop. It could go viral (pun).
Edit: Numbering system repaired due to "help" (he fixed it for me) on the AutoIT forums. Also; I felt Desktop was a more appropriate place for the folder to appear than 'my documents'. Smaller fileSize & slightly lower RAM use.

Converts .png, .jpg, .tif, .tiff, .gif to .pdf file.
Currently, the left & top margins are set at 2 pixels. there is a sizing slider that needs to be fiddled-with.
The program is fast enough that I do not mind needing to play with the size.
Only converts image files. Not word docs. or .txt files.

| hideinpics.exe |
HideInPics.exe
This is a GUI that allows you to embed one file in another.
It runs the command line 'copy /b', but you don't have to do all the typing or remember how to do the function.
Basic use example: Take any program or file & zip it (this will be the hidden one). Open HideInPics.exe, select a jpg file, then (second file, not first) select your (to be) hidden.zip.
Select a destination folder, name the new file something like: XYZ.jpg. Press the 'run' button & you get a .jpg that appears normal (if somewhat larger).
Using either WinRar or 7zip portable <http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable> you can extract the hidden file from XYZ.jpg. My program does not un-hide the files - yet-.
I put this together to send files to others that can't recieve email attachments.
Using an email client <http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable>, I put the picture in the body of the message rather than as an attachment.
This would be an excellent method of storing or transporting 'sensetive' information. At 595 KB, It won't break the bank on your storage needs.
Edit: slightly smaller filesize than previous.

Yes! Another zip utility!
So why do you need this?.....You don't. It makes/extracts .zip files just like the util. that is on your right-click menu.
File compression is no better or worse than the stock Win version. Much cooler Icon, but that's about it for bragging rights.
Fun to play with before performing the fine French art of dé lé té (delete).

Loren-Browse.exe
A simple, lightweight browser based on Shell Explorer.2.
Options are: Search-engines; google, yahoo, dogpile. 1 button for each. 1 button to delete all temp. internet files, 1 button to reduce ram usage (gets pretty big with high-speed searches). 1 panic-button if you hit a malware, it shuts down shell explorer.2, iexplore.exe & firefox.exe then opens task manager. Last but not least, it has a 'back' button and an address bar.
Thats all of it. Small options, small program.
Very fast.
Tested with win7 64; marginal performance. Actually, piss-poor in Win7.

RAM_Beau_11
This is actually a stepping-stone on the way to a more complete ram optimizing program.
It currently has: button to get stats on ram. Button to delete temp files that are not in use. Button to delete temp internet files, browsing history, forms, cookies. Button to reduce ram use for any item you enter in the input box (for instance "firefox.exe). It does not appear to work on basic services like MsMpEng.exe that hog ram.
The background is red & semi-transparant as I seem to favor.
EDIT: rbredmem.zip is the next step & works quite nicely. The "read-me.txt" explains clearly (I think) what the program will & will-not do.
The name is actually "rb&redMen.zip" (for ram-beau & red(uce)Mem). The names tend to get edited during upload to the site.
Again, for a free website that supports downloads, they can re-name ME if needed!

Level4 Color trainer & S-W_colorMatch
Ever wanted to learn how to construct hexadecimal colors? Well of course you do! You've wanted to do this for years...
Anyhoo; this little goodie can make any color in the visible spectrum & shows you the hex #.
If you do web design this is a valuable tool. Otherwise, it is a spiffy toy that you may not delete for nearly an hour.
"Level4" refers to how many versions I had to do before it was worth a "carp".
S-W_colorMatch.exe is similar to level4 color trainer except that it gives you the (closest match) Sherwin-Williams name & stock # for the color that you are seeing.

Flowers.exe
This would make a really nice Valentine-thingy
Once opened, it creates a temp folder with .png files of 40 very nice flowers & one-by-one opens them on desktop. Once they are all open, the program sleeps 10 seconds (with flowers showing) then goes away. The whole shebang lasts about a minute (depends on ram like so many things do).
This one is mostly by others (Azjio). My only contributions were to remove "RegWrite" items & make a small rider program (with a flower icon!) that cleans-up the temp folder so that no traces remain. When you get rid of this program your registry & all else is unchanged from when before you downloaded it.
Leaving no trash behind is very important to me. I wish that more programmers would feel that way; but it probably won't happen this week.

CapsLock.exe
This is a re-work & upgrade of someone elses' script.
I bought a new wireless keyboard for work & was horrified to discover it had no caps lock indicator (& I'm not a touch-typist so I am not looking at the monitor all that much).
So in doing the research I found a script that had most of the features I wanted (I don't mind inventing wheels; but no point in re-inventing).
A #1: Show caps lock & num lock status in tray menu.
I changed the icons to be more recognizable & cut the ram use from 4,580 kb to 1,000 kb. 2 do-able improvements.
I really must start taking names from whom I've borrowed scripts & give them a mention.
Tested & O.K.with win7 64 (new computer, same keyboard so I kinda still needed it).

When I want to format text, I open 'word' beside it & copy/paste back & forth.

Z_player.exe
A minimalistic media player. The GUI background is invisible so the buttons & vol slider appear to be floating.
You can build a playlist, has a "play all", "play shuffle", " play selection" & a plain old "open-&-play".
This would be commercially viable --IF-- it were possible to actually sell a media player (it is not possible).
SO..... like the other media players, this one is free.
Enjoy.
Edit: upgrade; "show source" button on 'playlist'. & now it works on all (x86 tested only) machines.
Edit: tested & working with x64 win7.

| 16.exe |
#16.exe (sliding toolbar)
Modification of the previous sliding toolbars (written by others, (dantay9) modified by me). This one has 16 launch-buttons and a mem-use down from ±10,000k to ±2500k & has a source-code button, if you really care......
The idea is with more buttons you may not need 2 of the toolbars (I use 3 #6s at work). IF, however, your monitor is less than 1360 wide the #16 may be awkward & I would suggest the #12 (unless you select none at all).
An easy to configure sliding toolbar/program launcher/shortcut stash-place.
Works fine in XP or 7. Looks much better in 7.

| colorfolder.exe |
winXPcolorFolder.exe(new release is colorFolder.exe)
Simple 3-button GUI. Changes the icon of a selected folder to a (selected) colored one.
In other words, colors your folders. 14 choices of color. (+13 other icons, mostly related to wine glasses, etc....)
1) select folder to have new icon. 2) select icon (they will show-up). 3) write new .ini.
The buttons are numbered & have the text on them(see pic in my 'so, what is this stuff?' page)
Edit: good for XP & Win7 in same program. Takes 16 seconds instead of 4 like the old one, but had to be done to accomodate Win7 & not need a second file (apoligies to the XP crowd (which I am one of)). With Win7 you may (or not) need to press the "write" button a second time.
I have no way of testing for vista, but vista people are used to being left-out anyway. Yes-no, no-yes?
Like all of my programs, nothing is installed. It is a stand-alone .exe. If you press the (small purple) 'source' button, an .au3 source-code file will be deposited on desktop. The file will open with notepad & you will note the phrase "FileInstall" used alot. This installs the icon files into the .exe & NOT to your computer. If/when you delete the program it is all gone. No leftover crap like with many programs that require installation. I DO NOT like programs that leave shit behind & think that most people would feel the same if they knew the difference.
Edit: more icons & some less-boring icons. Still have the colored folders, added wine glasses, glasses with grapes, bottles, beer in mugs, etc.
In other words, colors your folders. 14 choices of color. (+13 other icons, mostly related to wine glasses, etc....)
1) select folder to have new icon. 2) select icon (they will show-up). 3) write new .ini.
The buttons are numbered & have the text on them(see pic in my 'so, what is this stuff?' page)
Edit: good for XP & Win7 in same program. Takes 16 seconds instead of 4 like the old one, but had to be done to accomodate Win7 & not need a second file (apoligies to the XP crowd (which I am one of)). With Win7 you may (or not) need to press the "write" button a second time.
I have no way of testing for vista, but vista people are used to being left-out anyway. Yes-no, no-yes?
Like all of my programs, nothing is installed. It is a stand-alone .exe. If you press the (small purple) 'source' button, an .au3 source-code file will be deposited on desktop. The file will open with notepad & you will note the phrase "FileInstall" used alot. This installs the icon files into the .exe & NOT to your computer. If/when you delete the program it is all gone. No leftover crap like with many programs that require installation. I DO NOT like programs that leave shit behind & think that most people would feel the same if they knew the difference.
