The software is organized by the folders they're in See my thread: How do you have your tools organized? There are quite a few programs listed that I no longer use. I left them because I figured they may be useful to you ![]() - I include the name of the program and the version in the filename (ex. CDBurnerXP 5.1). This makes it easier to find out if there's a newer version available. - Download the 64-bit version when available and just add x64 to the filename (ex. CDBurnerXP 5.1 x64). E:\Software: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) Adobe Reader Advanced SystemCare - Awesome CCleaner alternative Any Video Converter Ultra Defrag - Try the Full Optimization feature CCEnhancer - Adds support for over 500 new programs for CCleaner CCleaner - Download the slim build to avoid toolbars.
