CRP (Control Running Programs):  (needs Framework 2)
CRP (Control Running Programs) is a solution that will control all running programs within your windows session. In the section ‘Instance Controlling’, you can specify how many instances of a particular program will run at the same time, preventing memory overflow and instant program spawning from other programs. In the section ’Instance Launching’, specific programs will be launched once they have been closed, either by accident, from the user or the task manager. Drag & Drop support from explorer is also supported and multiple entries allow unlimited amount of programs to be used.

You can set CRP to start with the windows session, maintaining full control without manual loading and spawning instance support will allow you to run several copies of CRP at the same time. A full set of options are available via the ‘Options’ window and direct access to the current tasks list is also available.

LifeHacker Roundup: Track Your Fitness Progress with Free Tools

Screenshot - 5_24_2008 , 11_33_17 AM_thumb.png
Great idea to roundup these programs -- please add any other programs you know about.

You don't need to plunk down $90 for a Wii Fit to track your progress toward a healthier body—even if that downhill skiing game looks mighty fun. If you're trying to curb unnecessary calories and stick to an exercise plan, there are tons of free applications that want to see you succeed. Whether you're facing a fast-food menu or polishing off a light entree, you can log, track, and make healthy decisions from your desktop, or just as easily from a phone.

LifeHacker Blog: Best Application Launchers? FARR In the Running

Screenshot - 5_22_2008 , 12_37_24 PM_thumb.png
There was a long thread yesterday about LifeHacker's call for votes on user's favorite launcher tools, and today they LifeHacker is asking for people to vote in round two.

The Launchy program seems to be the run-away favorite in LifeHacker voting, which isn't too much of a surprise given how prominently it has featured on the site in the past, but our own Find and Run Robot (FARR) is in the running among the top contenders.

Go vote for your favorite, whatever it may be:

For more info on Find and Run Robot check out my my recent post on unique features of FARR that set it apart from other launchers.

And welcome to all new FARR users -- please make yourself at home on our forum section dedicated to this program, and start posting feature requests!
