This is by far the most useful freebie I have ever encountered.  If you answer Yes to even one of these questions, then you definitely need this freebie:

• Do you have multiple accounts and passwords to maintain?
• Do you often forget your password and go to a “Retrieve Password” page?
• Do you use a password file and save it in a “secured” directory?
• Do you need to generate a random secure password with alphabets, numbers, and other characters?
• Do you use the same password for two or more or all accounts?
• Are you tired of looking at the ceiling for your passwords?
• Do you post your username with password using post-it notes in your monitor?
• Do you have a “secretary” whom you call in the middle of the night for a password?
• Do you ask your pet for your password?

Okay, okay, the last three items are not really part of the questions - you don’t do any of those do you?

It’s been more than a year since I published My Windows XP Must-Have Software and of course the list has changed then.

I define a kewl Windows freebie as software that runs on Windows and is licensed either as Freeware, Shareware, Donationware, “Free-as-a-beer”, or whatever you call it that does not require a user to pay for it.  Kewl, of course, is cool.

These freebies are for the daily use of my laptop: creating/editing documents, playing music, watching videos, burning CDs or DVDs, browsing, communications and general computer productivity.  They are categorized as follows:

• Desktop Publishing
• Internet / Communication
• Multimedia
• Utilities
• Security
