First of all, I'm not a salesman. these are just programs that I like and recommend.
Copernic: A wonderful searching program. There are three versions, Freeware is Copernic2000; Copernic2000 Plus costs 39.95. It opens up some of the extra features. Copernic2000 Pro is the highest level 79.95, but I don't feel the extra features are worth the extra money. I think that all features should be at the 39.95 price. This program has found almost everything I asked of it.

Instant Drive Access Pro: a menu program that gives you quick access to your drives and such. Sometimes it is a systems resource hog; so I'll shut it down if I'm going to run some resource hog games.
It may be found at: http://www.systeam.dk/ It hasn't been up lately, I don't know what's up.
Address Book: I hate the fact that every program has a address book in it that requires you to put down tons of information in it. This program is a address book. It cut and pastes to windows well, prints labels and a handy small portable version for trips. I love it.
