While Emacs is my primary editor, I use this editor to search and manipulate very large files. The only downside is that the text mode is much slower than the hex mode. What I typically do for a large text file is open it in hex mode, locate the relevant section (you can search for text even in this mode), and copy/paste it into a smaller text mode buffer.
Quoted: EditPad Lite: A fine text editor with all the necessary basic features. Free for non-commercial use. An ideal replacement for Notepad.

This is a great idea. My email provider offers WebDav, so I might set up something similar where I most frequently used applications.
Quoted: Even better, though, you can open up Windows Explorer and point it to \\live.sysinternals.com\ to browse and launch any Sysinternals app as though you've already downloaded and installed it on your computer. That means next time you're doing tech support for friends and you forgot your PC Rescue Kit, you can quickly get to any Sysinternals tool for help.

This is probably a good thing to download and install on your Windows machines before they remove it.
Quoted: The Giveaway of the Day web site is offering the normally $90 Data Recovery Wizard Professional software as a free download today only. If you've accidentally deleted important files or documents, chances are the Data Recovery Wizard Professional edition can recover them (if another process didn't overwrite the disk space with new data).

If you want Exposé on Vista...
Quoted: I'm kinda tired of these showy Vista window flyaround things myself, but if you're aching for a Exposé-like Vista action, Switcher may be it.

Great tool.
Quoted: Log Parser is a free command-line tool from Microsoft that lets you run SQL queries against a variety of log files and other system data sources, and get the results out to an array of destinations, from SQL tables to CSV files. To get Log Parser 2.2 (the current version), visit the Microsoft Download site.
...
Unfortunately, because Log Parser is essentially a skunkworks project from one of Microsoft's developers, it doesn't have much in the way of official support from Microsoft. That's why I've put together this site to help Log Parser users.ShareViewed: 26 Times

Going to give this a try. I've started using Google Calendar because it's really easy to quickly enter an event from anywhere. I love the "Quick" event creation where you can just type in a string and it figures everything out.
But, I would like these events to also show up in Outlook so they're on my phone.

This looks very cool. Note: This is different than synergy. MaxiVista gives you a desktop that spans multiple screens.
Quoted: Use any spare PC as a dual monitor screen for your primary PC. No extra hardware required.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Yeah, Emacs is definitely the wrong answer for very large files. But this editor isn't free when used commercially, big downside.
do you have other suggestions?
`grep -C' usually gets me what I need :)
