Good Windows Functionality Stuff from Elan

Great post from The Cheapskate:

Five free Windows utilities you should download

1. Advanced Uninstaller – I already have Revo Uninstaller which I’m happy with so I’m not looking at this one now.

2. Dual Display Mouse Manager – I have one wide screen so I’m not checking this out now – interesting to work out which is better – 2 17” screens or one 23” screen

3. Dexpot – Virtual Desktops – nice idea.  I saw a recommendation for VirtuaWin at LifeHacker (both Dexpot & ViruaWin have good start ratings at CNet Download) so I’m trying that for now. Actually Dexpot seems easier to use so I’m going with that.

4. Universal Viewer  One of those utilities that really should be built into Windows, Universal Viewer lets you view the contents of just about any file. – Looks interesting, I’m checking this out now.

5. Wizmouse  activates the scroll wheel in whatever window is under your cursor, plain and simple. – Also looks very interesting – I’m going to try that now too.
