RUNit defines a "hot area" on your screen where a click of the right mouse button makes the RUNit launch-menu appear .The "hot area" can be any border of the screen or even the whole screen. (you have to hold down the CRTL or SHIFT key while right clicking in "whole screen mode")

Desktop Customizer ActivIcons
(Freeware)

You can save and restore the desktop layout, repair corrupted icons, increase the size of the Windows icon cache to prevent future problems, and much more. You can substitute your own icons for the standard Windows icons and cursors. In fact, ActivIcons goes through your Registry and lists out all of the icons found there, so that you can change those as well. You can even use ActivIcons to display animated icons on your desktop, or make the icon text labels transparent. NOTES: some functions may be redundant or unavailable depending on your Windows version.

Button Pusher Push That Freakin' Button (PTFB)
(Freeware) NOTES: last freeware version (v 1.06.4)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000
Languages: English
Description: Push the Freakin' Button (or PTFB for short) is a button pressing utility. PTFB runs in the background - usually its only on-screen presence is a mouse-shaped task bar icon. When a dialog causes irritation, you simply tell PTFB which button should be pressed, and it will handle the dialog in future. By default, PTFB is cautious - a dialog has to be a perfect match for its hitlist entry before any buttons will be pressed. But it can be set to be less strict, allowing a range of similar dialogs to be handled from one hitlist entry. Main Features: Simple drag-drop interface for adding buttons to the "hit-list". Buttons will only be pressed once per appearance - no pressing frenzy if button does not dismiss the dialog. Task bar icon for easy access and notification of impending button press. Configurable press delay and three methods of identifying potential targets.

Description: TypeItIn lets you define buttons that will type in any information you want into any application. You can use TypeItIn to fill out forms on the web, or process forms at work.

Clippings can be dragged and dropped to/from YCIII. Can strip unwanted "quote" characters from "clippings".

Just rename "clip.wav.Bak" to "clip.wav" or copy in the file of your choice and name it "clip.wav". You can now instruct YCIII to ignore pictures (METAFILES) from problematic apps such as MS Excel which copies metafiles of nearly infinite width to the clipboard when you select an entire row. This metafile isn't of much use at a later time anyway.
