1 Clean your Windows Registry of corrupted or unused Registry keys.

This utility cleans your Registry of unnecessary entries that were created when you installed or uninstalled programs on your computer. This release of the utility fixes a few problems and creates an "undo.reg" file so that you can undo changes you inadvertently make to the Registry.

2. moviemaker -

Use your PC to create, edit, and share home movies.

Microsoft, a scrappy little software company from Washington state, has released another version of their Movie Maker software. With Movie Maker 2, you can create, edit, and share your home movies. You create movies with drag-and-drop commands, and you can edit your footage so you highlight only the best scenes. Then you can share your movie via the Web, e-mail, or CD; you can also save your movie back to the video tape in your camera to play back on a TV or on the camera itself.

3. open dns - OpenDNS offers faster Internet access (e-mail and FTP, too), and it's free. Domain Name Servers (DNS) translate site names, such as pcworld.com, into IP addresses that PCs employ to locate one another on the Net.

 

Most people use their ISP's DNS services by default, and some providers are slow. Switching to OpenDNS has advantages. First, it's faster because it stores requests in a large cache; if you ask for the same IP address that other users have requested, OpenDNS doesn't need to look elsewhere--it has it. Make a typo--say, "netfliks.com"--and you're delivered to the correct site. Not only that, a warning appears if you reach a phishing site.

 

Setting up OpenDNS is a snap (see the instructions at the OpenDNS site). - http://opendns.com/

 

4. http://thisnext.com - ThisNext is a shopcasting network where you can recommend, share and discover great products.

 

ThisNext believes that better buying means better living. Great products can help us do, be and experience the things that make us happy. Our goal is to help people discover great and deeply gratifying products.

 

Every product on ThisNext is picked by the ThisNext community (That means you!). You can organize your picks into product playlists we call shopcasts.

 

Great shopcast lists can be about activities (like climbing or cooking) or things (like fashion or food). They can even be about lifestyles (like being green). Shopcast lists and picks are tagged and searchable on ThisNext for easy discovery by other people.

 

When you make a shopcast list, you are letting the world know what you think is great and worth spending hard-earned money to buy. You are answering the question "What do you use?" for people who share your interests and POV. People who like your taste can then find and track your personal shopcasts or they can follow the collective wisdom of crowds to discover what the community recommends.

 

ThisNext is a Los Angeles-based, venture-funded Web 2.0 company committed to improving the overall quality of the Internet shopping experience by offering a platform for personal product recommendations and discovery. ThisNext is being built by a team of seasoned Internet entrepreneurs, editors, and bloggers. To see what else we are up to and interested in (besides ThisNext, of course), visit our blog.
