Treecomp - Compares two directories in tree format. Webmaster Password Generator - Let's me generate user password without have to put much thought into it, saving my brain cycles for more important stuff.
JDiskReport - does a graphical representation of the disk and directories. So I use this to make an install file and place the exe int he proper place and create shortcuts on the desktop for the user.ĬDInterface2 - to create an install cd/dvd to install all the laptop utilities and just go down the list so I don't forget anything.ĪptDiff 1.5 - compares two txt documents. Install Creator - there are some old utilities that we still use int he field that are just. Still learning it, but seems to be working great so far. Untangle - Just slipped this into the network yesterday. Gimp - We don't do much with images, but we have it when we need it.

Robocopy, although some would argue that as it only works on MS you do have to pay the MS tax to get it.Ĭlonezilla - This tool is rocking for creating images of a machine I am working on.
