Thanks bob3160 for the link to ERUNT - The Emergency Recovery Utility NT .
I've been trying to find a decent/simple  Registry backup method for My Son's system  (for obvious reasons  ) who is using  XP Home Ed.
Using XP pro I  have the Backup utility ; dont know why MS didn't include it with XP Home edition, but that's Microsoft for you.

Lost your Windows Key

THIS little app can do it for you.

A new way to listen to streaming music
"Your way - the way You like it"


Pandora is the doorway to this vast trove of musical information.
 With Pandora you can explore to your heart's content.
Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go.
It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old,
well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice.
Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.

Full facts are available HERE

I'm hooked. Enjoy

WinAudit

This program allows you to perform a detailed audit of the hardware and software configuration of your computer.
The resulting audit report contains details on installed software, license information, peripherals, memory usage,
processor model, network settings, startup programs and more. It can be viewed from within the application,
or optionally exported to text, nicely formatted web page, XML and spreadsheet formats, or sent by email.
WinAudit also supports ODBC connections and can export audit data to an existing database.
Very small, standalone program that works well.
Download it from here:

The program is also available at:

Enjoy

Handy app to have ... downloaded ... thanks, Bob!   

One thing I like is that it gets the model & serial numbers that some other programs do not.

Thanks for all these excellent Tools/ Applications/ Programs , Bob3160 . I never go away empty handed 
Trying out " Better Tabs " ,  the Firefox extension on the previous page.
Must be one of the most powerful FF addons I've come across. The  " Save Session " feature is very interesting and unique . Took me a moment to figure why my profile was so large.

If you take lots of pictures like I do, then you know not all of them are perfect.
To dark, to light, red-eye, wrong size, etc.  etc.
PXN8 can even fix the photos you have stored on-line.
Now you don't need Photoshop or another expensive program to turn these rejects
into masterpieces. Just do it On-Line.



Once your photos are all fixed, you can save them to your computer or,
send them off to flickr.

You'll find everything you need to get started at:

Talk to a human
Don't you ever get frustrated when you cannot talk to a real live person on the phone,
but get some robot telling you to hit this button, that button, etc. 
Well, here is your chance to talk to somebody (a real person).
gethuman contains a listing of phone numbers of many companies
we frequently need to call. These are the phone numbers the companies don't tell you about. 

Sorry US only.

AutoStreamer
AutoPatcher's little brother, has finally gone final! At its current state,
AutoStreamer works as a slipstreamer-only. Basically, all it really needs is a source
(that being an original Windows CD or a local share) and a Service Pack file.

Screenshots:
Main screen, Using CD, Picking Service Pack file, Skiping slipstreaming, ISO options, Working!

Requirements
1. Windows 2000/XP/2003 (Windows 9x/Me won't do)
2. The latest (complete) version of AutoStreamer
3. Administrative privileges
4. A CD recorder and a blank CD

Supported Service Pack files:
- Windows 2000: SP3 onwards (meaning you can't select a SP1/SP2 file as a service pack)
- Windows XP: Any
- Windows 2003: Any

Running AutoStreamer
Here's an example of Windows XP SP2 slipstreaming by Powerless: Guide
