Hosts file replacement This file can be used to block annoying ad sites and pop-up malware such as "Antivirus2009". Download and replace "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" (no file extension). Here is a link to a site that does the same.)


 Most excellent media player - Homepage
Vacuum Tube skin for Winamp

Thunderbird 2.0 - My preferred version of this stand-alone email client. Greatly changed with version 3+. Version 60 is the last one that looks good and offers OAuth2 but version 68 is required to use Gmail.
 Crap Cleaner 4.07 - Homepage
 MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware 1.75 - Homepage for the updated version (not sure I like the new interface)
 Spybot Search & Destroy 1.62 - Homepage

Opera 12.18 - the last version before it became a Chrome imitation. Vivaldi is a good alternative for this excellent browser. 32 bit version
Firefox 52 - last version for XP (32bit). Firefox 56 - last pre-Quantum version (64bit). Homepage.
As of March 2025 the browser extensions listed here no longer work in any version of Firefox prior to 115 due to a hard-coded security certificate so there's no point archiving them unfortunately. Mozilla - can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Key Tweak (Keyboard remapper) (XP))
Royale/RoyaleNoir (Themes for XP from Microsoft). Royale(default theme for Media Center Edition) - to tone down the neon bright default of XP and Royale Noir (with wallpaper) - to give it a Vista look without having to install Vista. Changing the default theme can also alert you to malicious popups.)

TweakUI 1.33 (Win2K)
WinTop (Win98)
KeyRemap (Win98)
DosHere (command prompt) (Win98)
