2.IsoPuzzle - A very powerful utility for copying damaged optical disks.

Really? Can it? Although my disk isn't damaged, but it gives Cyclic Redundancy Error while copying a 1.8 GB file from a DVD. Will try this s/w, hope it helps! :)

You don't want to fill up your hdd with bloated softwares, do you? These small, but useful softwares often get the task done with ease and simplicity

@topgear : Thanks for the software, looks like a great alternative to notepad++
@vineet369 : Please try that software and see if it really works, and then inform me with the result. I can't try the software as of yet cause I usually throw away any damaged/corrupt disks

^^ notepad++ has plethora features - so notepad2 can't be called as a replacement of notepad++ instead notepad2 can be called a very good replacement of windows default notepad app.

BTW, another good thing is even notepad++ can has version under 1mb ( download size - after extracting it's some ~2mb ) and it's called Notepad++ minimalist package - the current version is 5.9 - you can get it from here :
Notepad++ 5.9 Release | 5.9

hmm, will try that smaller version of notepad++. Looks like it was too early to form an opinion of notepad2, will try and explore it more today.
Update:
After 10 minutes of using notepad2, I realized it's limitations which makes it almost incomparable to notepad++. Notepad2 obviously can't be a replacement for notepad++ but an alternative to it (under 2Mb) to get the simple work done , but ofcourse notepad2 can't compete with notepad++'s features.

For people who really liked notepad2 and wanted to use it as a replacement for notepad,
How to Replace Notepad with Notepad2:

For Windows 7 - How To Replace Notepad in Windows 7 (Just use the notepad2.exe file instead of notepad++ and follow the same guide)

For Windows XP - Replace Notepad With Notepad2 (For SP3)
(Copy the script and save it as replace.bat in the same folder in which you have placed notepad2.exe)

If the above script doesn't work try the steps below

Here's the manual guide (For SP2):
  1. Create backup copy of c:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
  2. Change Explorer view options to show system files
  3. In temporary folder: Prepare new notepad.exe.
  4. Copy the EXE into the clipboard
  5. Open folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache in Explorer
  6. Ctrl-V, Backspace X 3
  7. Answer the "insert WinXP CD" dialog so Notepad won't be reverted to the original version.

Nice MP3 player it is, and great functionality for a size so small!
But it would have been more great, if the actual skin of the player matched with the screenshot the homepage shows ;)

Doesn't work for me, shows "lyrics not found" for every song and I don't like the UI too.
