1. iMacros IE/Firefox Add-On (free browser macro tool => also for Mac and Linux!!!)

2. Notepad++ (free editor, Win)

3. Total Commander (Shareware, Win)

I particularly like their one button photo enhancer for a quick start on retouches. Their screen capture utility allows multiple views, with or without cursor, and you can set up a hot button or a timer.

Notepad has its limitations, but finding specific text, and globally replacing that text, isn’t one of them.

One of our goals is to speak to web workers of all sorts, whatever their platform of choice.

This is the first time I visit this site: I was kind of hoping for online or Mac / multi-platform apps. It seems more appropriate to web working. (And yes, I was also kind of hoping for 6 apps…)

Screen capture is treated as just one of many shortcuts, so it competes with Launchy, too. Basically it allows easy creation of Control+Alt+YourKey shortcuts for launching files, finding folders within browse windows, creating pre-addressed emails, shortcutting to pre-saved text and images, launching apps and more. It is a part of the productivity offerings at http://www.poingo.com Lightning Navigator

I use it every day for simple updates, etc. Thanks for the list.
