I don't think I'm getting any bonus points, but my particular favorite
piece of freeware is the Mercury mail server. It's been serving me
trouble-free for almost two years now. It's pretty much the only piece
of software on my system (besides Apache, but that's worth *negative*
bonus points because it's huge, needs to be not only installed but
compiled first, and seems to have a condo in my registry) that I've set
up and been able to forget how to use because I haven't had to tinker
with it or fix it.

Here's one that I like. It's got a very nice looking GUI, IMO.
http://keepass.sourceforge.net/
What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the
Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's ftp
password, online passwords (like CodeProject member account), etc. etc.
etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for
each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and
someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The
thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you
to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords
in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So
you only have to remember one single master password or insert the
key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using
the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and
Twofish).
Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open-source (OSI
certified). Therefor you can have a look at its full source and check if
the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.
Perhaps you wonder why I decided to make it open-source. The answer is
relatively simple: in my opinion all software that has something to do
with security should be open-source.
Features:
* Highly encrypted databases
* Support of master passwords and key-disks
* Runs on all Windows operating systems and doesn't need to be installed
* Export password list to TXT, HTML, XML or CSV files
* Import from CSV and CodeWallet(Pro) TXT files
* Easy database transfer
* Support of password groups
* Time fields support
* Auto-type and drag-n-Drop support
* Fast copy fields to the Windows clipboard
* Searching and sorting
* Multi-language translation support
* Strong random password generator
* Low memory requirement
* Open-Source!

I don't get this. I've been using Apache2 on a few systems for about two
years now, and I never had to compile it because of the excellent installer
packages available. Disk space usage is not very huge and registry entries
are within reasonable limits... after all it installs itself as a Windows
service.

Billy 1.03 and 1.04b(available in forum)(freeware):
http://www.sheepfriends.com/?page=billy
Billy is a lightweighted no nonsense audio player that allows you to
quickly play an entire directory of MP3 files.
Billy intentionally doesn't support MP3 id-tags and doesn't show the
playing time from each song. Though this may seem a big disadvantage, you
could ask yourself how often you really need those two things. Especially
when looking at the speed you win.
Billy uses Bass (Un4seen) as its decoding engine. This engine has awesome
quality and uses 28% less CPU than winamp's decoding engine. Measured with
Intel VTune.
No-install, small and no registry entries, except for file-associations and
context-menu. No skin, but Billy's looks are highly configurable through an
.ini-file.

well - such as mail filtering, multiple accounts and an integrated address
book.

Okay, "needs" was the wrong word there. I'm a control freak and a

away more satisfied that what I got is exactly what I wanted. And, now
that I take a good look, you're right about the registry. That was a

One I use at every session is Multi-Program-Launcher. It's a 40k no
install program which allows you to launch up to five programs, with
arguments, after which it shuts itself down. I know that there are
other programs of this type which will do more, but not for 40k, I
suspect :-) It's a model of simplicity.
Sadly, it no longer seems to be hosted anywhere and the contact email
given in the program cannot now be resolved. So it's an orphan, but I
can upload it to the binaries group if anyone should want it.

This tiny audio player may seem boring, but it's not! It can play
absolutely everything without eating cpu or ram. And it can be configured
to store it's setting outside the registery. Top this off with great sound
and you have the perfect freeware app in my humble opinion.

i.Scribe [512k] + A small and fast email client with an intergrated
contact database and calendar. Scribe doesn't required installing or
uninstalled and can be used from a removable drive without
reconfiguration. It comes with a highly accurate bayesian spam filter
and translations to many different languages. Because Scribe runs on
Windows, Linux and BeOS you can take your mail with you when you change
operating system. And don't worry about viruses, Scribe protects you
from the usual security holes in other email clients with it's own
virus safe HTML control and executable attachment lockout.

Believe it or not, there really is a UNIX program called false, which,
according to the manual, has the purpose to "do nothing, unsuccessfully".

The above is a serious program. Of somewhat less use is the False
Programming Language:
http://wouter.fov120.com/false/
According to the author:
I designed this language with two particular objectives: confusing
everyone with an obfuscated syntax, and designing an as powerful
language as possible with a tiny implementation: in this case a compiler
executable of just 1024 bytes (!), written in pure 68000 assembler.

Sounds great! Freeware, zero learning curve, small size, no install, no
registry entries.
I have only one question. Is it open source? ;)

v 1.2.0 seems to be the LFW. Maybe one of ACF's expert searchers can up
a *free* link that works. Anyone?
If not one of the Freeware or LFW sites might host it. Not the best time

QFS: 30 kb zip
[ 2. What is QFS? ]
"QFS is a tiny Visual Basic program that fast searches on the "Favorites"
directory for a string in the name (or in the URL) of your Internet's
shortcut files. It can also read Netscape Navigator and Opera bookmark
files.
The program was written because the fact that, although one maintains a
structured and sorted favorites folder, it's lots faster to search for a
favorite than navigating the long structured favorites tree.
If you have hundreds or thousands of favorites, try QFS! It's is worth
downloading and trying! The download is only 30KB."

your IP address is from the perspective of an "outsider" on the Internet

I made it to the top of the hill. Most reports and project work are
in. Now for the finals!
I searched awhile and all web pages linked to the jester site. A file
search for "Multi-Program-Launcher.exe" yields nothing. Either the
author did not allow redistribution (possible, since it went $) or no
one picked up and archived it before the jester site went down.
That shouldn't be hard to replicate though.

Contrary to what it proclaimed, it made me feel insecure. Nor is it so
