Xpadder (Last free version)

 

'Xpadder will simulate keypresses and mouse movements using a gamepad.

 

Xpadder allows you to use your controller to play PC games with poor or no joystick support (including DOS games in a Windows DOS box and Shockwave/Java internet games).

 

Here are some key features of "Xpadder":

 

· Full keyboard and mouse emulation

· Rumble support for capable controllers

· Constantly updated controller database

· Multiple profile management

· Advanced fine-tuning options

· Low CPU and memory usage'

 

Very versatile. I use it all the time.

 

 

 

Dasher - ' Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural continuous pointing gestures. Dasher is a competitive text-entry system wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used - for example,

 

* when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen, trackball, or mouse;

* when operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by eyetracker);

* on a palmtop computer;

* on a wearable computer.

 

The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write text as fast as normal handwriting - 29 words per minute; using a mouse, experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.

 

Dasher can be used to write efficiently in any language.

 

Dasher is fast and fun to learn. (If you don't believe us, see what users round the world say.)

 

Dasher is free software. '

 

 

Click-N-Type - 'Click-N-Type is an on-screen virtual keyboard designed for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard. As long as the physically challenged person can control a mouse, trackball, touch screen or other pointing device, this software keyboard allows you to send keystrokes to virtually any Windows application or DOS application that can run within a window. The Click-N-Type Virtual Keyboard is a 32 bit application that requires Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win-7 or later. There are other onscreen virtual keyboards around but you'll find Click-N-Type the easiest to use for getting text into those uncooperative places like browser URL "Address:" fields, Email "To:" addresses, Email "Subject:" fields, dialog boxes like "Open" and "Save As...", and many other problematic applications. Try them all. You'll see they all work fine while typing into Notepad or WordPad, but when you attempt to do some real work, with all but the expensive ones, you'll get really annoyed really fast. The Click-N-Type Soft Keyboard was designed with ease of use foremost in mind. Oh yes, it's FREE.'

 

I'm using this right now.

Redo Backup and Recovery

 

Its apparently a very nice backup and restore program that comes on an ISO, that you burn to a disk that you can boot from to do backup and restore operations, plus its free.

 

It also comes with a lot of very cool features that you wouldn't really expect to find from it.

 

Check this Youtube link:

Redo Backup and Recovery

. . .It also comes with a lot of very cool features that you wouldn't really expect to find from it. . . .

 

Yep, its a small (~72 mb) iso, fairly quick to download and burn. I just did that. It looks like the linux distros I have tried out lately. Am posting this from Firefox from the iso.

 

You're right, lots of useful features. In addition to the backup and recovery functions, it has a text editor, disk partitioner, file recovery app, plus more.

 

One that looks a bit scary is the "Hard Drive Reset" icon. Gives a warning...will wipe the drive.

 

But it is a beta. And kind of dangerous for a not too tekkie like me. . .

 

Edit: Also, on the authors site, there were some complaints about freezing at one stage or another. Not a problem here, it froze (working behind the gui, I guess) for about 35 seconds, then ran as advertised.

[Lyronx]

Here's all the apps I use. Just type them in Google or whatever search provider you have (please don't include the "setup"). I do not take any responsibility if you get infected by any type of virus, malicious, spy ware, etc. I have blackened out some apps because they are either: not trusted, obsolete, virus makers (no I don't go making viruses and send to everyone, I make viruses so I can test it on my old computer.) All the apps I use here have been scan thoroughly by my computer. Some of these programs are in ZIP archives when downloader, I have made an installer for them because I hate ZIP/any kind of archives. I have renamed some of these apps and you might not find them in Google so I will name the full name.

VLC Media Player

Auslogics Disk Defrag

LameXP (do not include "Audio Encoder")

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

 

PS: The programs: TotalMedia Backup and Samsung PC Studio came with my HDD/Phone.

It is unreasonable to expect people to go through your installed list of applications and see which one they should try after looking it up on google (your suggestion for them to do)

 

Please stick to the spirit of this thread.

If he says .NET I will actually die of laughter.

 

Out of curiosity, why ?

Actually, I think using .NET to create viruses could be a good idea since it's compiled in MSIL so the heuristics detections won't find anything (same for Java, and script languages)

In that aspect, its a good thing. But you have to remember that environments such as .NET and Java run applications within there own little security bubble, so actually delivering any kind of (formidable) payload is practically impossible
