What are your Microsoft Windows hidden gem apps - eviltoast

You know the drill, [M]Lemmings…

I want to share TypingMasterPro cuz it is the program that helped me learn to type 2x over (QWERTY than DVORAK)

Off you go!

    Not sure if it can really be considered hidden, but many people don’t seem to know about TreeSize. It’s an incredibly useful tool to find out what takes up space on your drives.

      WinDirStat is a great alternative, and it’s FOSS.

      Also gives you a nice view illustrating the folder and file sizes

        Unfortunately, WinDirStat is essentially abandoned… The latest version 1.1.2 was released in 2005. Wiztree is my favourite alternative, but it’s not open-source.

          It also hasn’t been updated in nearly 20 years (last release was in 2005) so I doubt it’s going to get faster any time soon :(

        I sincerely hate that shaking “donate” button though. It’s already annoying to have a button for that, but a shaking one? Come on…

          There’s an easy solution to that. If you donate, it’ll remove the button.

          It’s a good deal. The money saved from not having to buy new drives / not having to manually calculate usage yourself would be far greater than any donation.

      I have used spacesniffer for the longest time, but looking through these to try out later.

      Filtering with red color for stuff I know I want to exclude helps.
