Free Windows Apps.

Hey Gang,

Just found a new website and I had to share it.
http://www.shellcity.net/

"Thousands of free Windows Apps."

Thanks Orange DUde! I was looking for a freeware program that I couldn't remember the name of and there it was in the Freeware Arena. Program is Reg Seeker and is supposed to have a few more options than Reg Cleaner. I'll give it a try now that I've found it.http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/bigok.gif

Just found something I'd wanted for a long time: UniqueDisplay.

Now all users can set their screen resolution independently of the others. http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

Thanks guys,

I found it by accident. I was trying to find a definition for the term "Shell Extension" and found that site instead. BTW, what's a "Shell Extension?"

Thanks,
Orangeman :cool:

Think of the shell as the layer that "wraps around" the functional core of an Operating System to enable it to be "seen" and interacted with by a user. In DOS, the default shell was the despised Command Prompt, which was a CLI (Command Line Interface). In Windows the default shell is the Explorer GUI (Graphical User Interface) that provides the desktop etc. A shell extension is something that integrates into the shell to add features or functionality. For example, you may have noticed this in your searching:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dateparser.asp

The detail may not mean a lot to you, but it shows how a programmer could implement a shell extension to watch for a user typing a date, at which time the system pops up a dialog reminding of a standard date format. It appears as if it is a standard function of Windows, but is (hopefully) a useful extension of the standard shell's features.

Thanks Platypus for that definition. I actually understood that.
