Windows Favorite Software /wfs/

In this thread we post programs that are obscure or just your personal faves, amazingly useful or just improve the windows OS experience
No links needed unless requested since you can google the names of the software
We will compile a NEW master list eventually. Browser plugins can be included in the thread
Starting with a few randoms off the top of my head

`Windows 10 LTSC

SublimeText
>text editor of choice
Softmaker Office
>microsoft office home alternative
Postbox
>thunderbird based mail application
Listary
>mac's Alfred for Windows
TC4Shell
>archiving shell extension
Groupy
>tabs on windows like Sets
Aquasnap
>lightweight window manager
Fences
>desktop icons organizer
Ditto
>clipboard manager
Open Shell (fork)
>better windows start menu
Internet Download Manager
>self-explanatory

Discord

Good software only bro

>Winamp
Still the best music player imo, if you unselect most of the non music player related bloat during installation.

>Lyrics plugin for Winamp (gen_lyrics)
A good lyrics plugin for Winamp.

>MP3TagTools
Old but the best MP3 Tagger I've used so far.

>MP3GainGui
Also old but good for maintaining an even volume of your MP3 collection. ReplayGain might be better but I never got into it.

>Agent Ransack / File Locator Lite
Old school directory crawling file search for those times Everthing (from Voidtools) fucks up.

>Copyhandler / Teracopy
Replacement copy dialogs with pause/resume and queue functions.

>Fastcopy
Tool for copying files without overhead.

>ReNamer
Good Tool for mass renaming of files. Can rename files based on MP3 tags.

>ID3remover
Tool to clean your MP3 files of those filthy tags other people seem to like to misshape them with.

>Scanner2 / WinDirStat
Optical representation of your files sizes on your drives. Good for finding orphaned files like that 40GB Wireshark temp file that didn't get deleted after the last crash and clogs up your storage.

>FreeFileSync
Good file/folder syncing tool.

>AlbumArtDownloader
Find album art for your MP3 albums. Can be setup with RegEx to crawl / auto search the album names based on folder structure.

>Faststone Capture (Shareware now, last freeware is v5.3)
Alternative to Greenshot, but much older. Still very good screenshot tool that had many of Greenshots features years ago.

>Faststone Image Viewer
Very handy Image Viewer and Manager. Lots of features like batch renaming, batch conversion and modifying (resizing, adjust brightness, etc) of images.

>AndreaMosaic
Cool programm to create mosaics of a folder of source pictures.

>HxD
Simple hex editor.

>Duplicate Cleaner Free
Good dupe finder.

>Filebot
Auto renamee for TV series files.

>DiskCryptor
Open source full disk encryprion for Windows.

>Wipefile
Small tool for secure deletion of selected files.

>Pangobright
Make your screen darker. I.e. at night

>Baka MPlayer
mpv-based. I use this as an audio player too

>Keypirinha
opensource, a pretty good customizable launcher

>MellowPlayer
this thing is just a browser with an audio player, but It's useful

>Mactype
global font rendering/smoothing

>Registry Workshop
registry editor

The rest is just some known stuff:
>f.lux
>irfanview
>vivaldi browser
>megasync

>>Faststone Image Viewer

My nig. Another thing really useful about it is that when you set a wallpaper through it, it doesn't compress the image to shit like Windows does

>set a wallpaper through it, it doesn't compress the image to shit
Literally a one-line fix. Can't remember what it is, though...

>one line fix
I've tried it before and it doesn't work user

I don't mean to be rude, but this is Jow Forums, so I have to check: you're sure you didn't royally fuck it up in some way?

Pretty sure. Then again, I had an old windows install on the same drive so some old files remained. There's a slight possibility I changed a duplicate file instead but I'm pretty sure I didn't.

If you used Regedit, that would have been pretty much impossible to do without noticing, yeah.

thoughts on Wox as a mac os' alfred replacement?

what's the best virtualizing software for windows? need it for school so has to be free, Currently debating between vmware player, virtualbox and hyper-v, since i'm running windows 10 pro

VMware Workstation bud. Pirate it.

sharex

>Rufus
I was going to post this as a joke because it helps me write USBs for booting Linux, but it is actually the best USB formatter I've used.

Attached: f540cc38.png (270x270, 43K)

What launcher is that?

Not op but pretty sure that's Listary. Looks dope but the fact that's propietary spooks me a bit

Listary. It's been my favorite Alfred alternative for Windows, they've been working towards a new version that looks a lot more polished.

redpill me on pirating. I shit my pants every time i download software from (russian) trackers

I'm always skeptic about free vpns, what makes this one special?

GNU/Linux

Is SoftMaker Office better than LibreOffice?

Depends on what you define as better. For me, it is more lightweight and faster than LibreOffice. Softmaker Office is cross platform and more compatible with Microsoft Office formats.

You can always use Wox, the foss alternative to Listary. I prefer Listary due to the integration and out-of-the-box feats.

Sandboxie for a "safe net" over common sense:
sandboxie.com/

how do you know it's safe?

I didn't said "failsafe net", user;but a "safe net".

antidupl.NET
f2k
rweverything
Similarity(antidupl but for music)
throttlestop
chip genius
reshade

i've been liking scoop + the "extras" bucket - gives you something similar to apt/yum for windows
scoop.sh/
i know chocolatey aims to do the same, but i couldn't find the apps i wanted on that.

TC4Shell
>archiving shell extension

Is there anyway to get this for free?

Akelpad

shame they dropped xp support

Total Commander
ShareX
Notepad++

maybe those last two have a replacement in GNU/Linux but Total Commander and some compatibility with Adobe/Audio stuff is what keeps me on windows.

>webmCam
>>Same as gifCam, but makes webm files (Freeware)
Why the fuck are the rendered webms so fucking huge in size though?

Go to softpedia dot com and in the search type TC4Shell.

The thread idea isn't bad but I can't trust it after the OP blatantly samefagged his own thread without realizing the IP count was a thing.
