Hi Tommy, my program is without question of great benefit to any person whom would typically be classified as a "non-computer" user. The following is a partial quote from the review on Softpedia: AZFL provides a step-by-step guide as to which freeware programs to utilize in order to accomplish certain maintenance tasks. Naturally the user would need to know how to run the launched program. As you know, this task is very basic and if there are any problems not knowing what to do, the specific program's help files will provide the necessary help. I am confident that once a novice user runs any of the programs supported by AZFL just one time, they will very likely not have any problems using the program again. For a more experienced computer user they will very likely not need any guidance, but AZFL may at the very least serve as a good reminder of the excellent freeware programs available as well as providing a central GUI for the many programs that are supported. Hope this helps.

Hi Tomcat, thank you very much for your compliments, I truly appreciate it. AZFL does not execute programs to completion - i.e. it merely launches the program at which time you would execute the program specifics via the program itself. Best regards, razz

Perhaps I should have included the link but I didn't because my question basically was if anyone had tried the software. Let us know what you think of it when you check it out. Like you said, adding 100MB is not ideal for sure :-) Thanks metal.

Just wondered what opinions were on this software.

Hello hello Tuneup Utilities 2008 is not freeware so I would consider other options if I were you. If you really want a complete utility package program then perhaps have a look at Advanced System Care Free - Advanced System Care - It seems that some people like it and others do not so you would have to form your own opinion. But, one great thing...it's free Another very good alternative, which I prefer as do many others, is to use a number of freeware products which will often accomplish PC tuneup and maintenance more effectively than a packaged utility program. hello, you're off on the right foot in the land of computers just by joining this forum.

Thank you DennisD, I appreciate it!

Thanks fireryone.

Thank you Icedrake, I appreciate you positive comment and I'm glad that you may find it useful.

3 reasons: - The latest version of SAS seemed to have some launching problems on several occasions when I was testing it. - As you likely know, when SAS is initialized an icon appears in the tray and the user has to launch the program by clicking it. I thought that for some new users this may cause problems. - In my opinion, a-squared has a more appealing GUI and seems more efficient.

I'm very pleased to announce that the latest version of my program A-Z Freeware Launcher (AZFL) has been listed on several download sites - most notably Softpedia and CNET. In fact, the Software Review Editor from Softpedia has just completed his review of AZFL. Review of AZFL on Softpedia AZFL v3.0 has several changes from v2.0 - they are as follows: - new skin - six new programs are supported, for a total of 50 programs. Now avast, Avira and AVG anti-virus programs are supported - SUPERAnti-Spyware has been replaced with a-squared Anti-Malware - additional programs and new layout on what was the "More Links" page. This page is now "More PC and Personal Tools" - new font on all buttons - some text has been altered For many years I have been (and I always will be) a big fan of Freeware products. Being a big fan led me to CCleaner and thereby to this forum, becoming a member in August last year. Many Piriform moderators and many members have been instrumental in introducing me to so many top-notch freeware products. It is thanks to you guys and gals that I now utilize so many great products, many of them just simply amazing. It was because of having such a number of these products installed on my PC that I decided to create AZFL, just to simplify things for myself and my wife. During the creation of the program I decided that I may as well make it available to anyone who also may find it useful. I sincerely hope that some may. I just want to very briefly mention about my company Unity-Creations. We formed the first edition of our company just before our days on eBay in 2001 (at that time we were UnityCreations2000). Over time we are proud to say that on eBay we have 131 positive feedbacks and zero negative feedbacks. Our eBay days have mostly passed and now our time is spent elsewhere in cyberspace. If you have any questions post in this tread or if you prefer at: Questions via website For those who are interested, select your desired download location: CNET Softpedia Directly from our A-Z Freeware Launcher website NOTE: One option listed on my site is to download only the .exe file.

The problem that my wife is having with Thunderbird is she frequently needs to forward certain emails. With Thunderbird, when you forward an email it shows up as an attachment. This means that she is unable to clean-up the email before sending (which is sometimes desired), also, some people don't like opening attachments. We realize that she could copy and paste into a new email, but it would be nice to have the ability to simply hit forward, clean-up something if desired and then hit send. EDIT: Given it further thought, I discovered that you can overcome the problem I mentioned by using the "Reply" function, instead of "Forward". This seems to work in our case.

Thank you for your trouble Keithuk. You're right, very simply to use!

I do not like Outlook Express so I currently use Thunderbird, but am snooping around for possibly a better email client. Anyone have suggestions? Do you know anything about Foxmail?

Thanks for your effort Keithuk. No worries, if you are able to upload it someday then let me know either by posting or via PM. Is you program as easy to use as the others mentioned here? I assume you tried the upload with a zip file.

Since joining this forum and thanks to DennisD, I discovered these two wonderful programs. Taking my cue from DennisD, I use the programs in the same manner that he does. Works great.

Sure, post it and I'll check it out. Thanks Keithuk.

Well, that would be the winderful wirld of wondows of course.

Thanks Icedrake. Looks good.

http://joshmadison.com/software/convert-for-windows/ I came across this and thought that some may find this to be a really handy little program. EDIT: lol I guess you have figured out that "Wondows" in the title should have been "Windows"

Some of you may be young enough to make the move someday http://videos.komando.com/

I have been using this amazing little program and thought some may find it useful. http://www.tomaweb.com/color-codes.asp

I think her case is different. We both use Thunderbird as our default email client.

Since switching to Opera 10 from Firefox 3.5, when my wife clicked a link in an email, it took her to her home page in Opera, instead of directly to the webpage. Also, she had some links on her desktop to some webpages, these links now take her to her home page in Opera as well. Would anyone have any idea what would cause this?
