What are the most popular utilities used?

Candice,

Stay with the same thread you started 38 mins earlier

Double posting isn't going to get you a reply quicker. In fact a few people in
this newsgroup will start throwing their toys around

If you start school in the morning then why have you left it so late?

This is not due tomorrow, it's labor day. We are suppose to do are reach
online, because this is a computer course. I didn't mean to upset or
aggrevate anyone, all of these posts are just different questions that I have
to anwser. I figured that this would be a great place to get started.

That varies with every user, Candice. Within XP (I haven't used Vista),
you could probably make a fairly safe bet that defrag is one of the most
commonly used utilities (or should be, at least). Disk Cleanup is also
frequently used by most people. Scheduler is widely used, also.

But every person develops their own style of using the computer, as it
were. Some people do not want to be bothered with any utility, others
actually get hooked on utility programs. Some of the best are
third-party utilities, both freeware and purchased. A Google search of
"Computer utilities" will get countless hits.

Without question, those that dowload or display porn. Everything else is
just small potatos.

Candice,

All 3 of your posts could have gone under the same thread

Posts 1 & 2 - Same
Post 3 - Beta question still the same as the above as they are all related

Oh well, you're know for another time

Things like:

http://www.google.com/microsoft & search for "Beta" or "Windows XP", "Beta"
(including quotes & comma) for example

Candice,

Disk Management as XP fails to assign the correct drive letter to a flash
drive...

Disk Defragmenter

Registry Editor

Windows Firewall - disable to install a proper one

If XP Pro then Policies

Autorun Fix Utility:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

All are very common things to ask in this newsgroup

Here in Chicago, we use ComEd for our electric, but I'm not sure who
provides our gas (my unit gets that for free).

It's a silly question really as nobody has spent the time to research
that.

Candice,

There are the 'resource kits' too that come with many utilities used by computer
professionals but not really the home user

If you are talking about an organisation then maybe IEAK too

Also common for the IT Professional are things like Technet Script Centre which
has utilities like Scriptomatic to create scripts

Technically, utilities in the Control Panel are called APPLETS so that rules out
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, SYSTEM (Device Manager)... So, please don't add them in
your school project

This is homework? Do your own homework. Research is not asking other
people to tell you the answer.

I hope you can satisfy my curiosity: How can one determine the most
popularly used utilities WITHOUT asking others? A homework assignment
that asks for survey information is perfectly reasonable and can be
educational. It not only acquaints the student with a topic, its
pragmatics, and other peoples opinions; it also acquaints the student
with the way strangers might react - not always kindly or rationally. In
this case if you believe asking is inappropriate, you might want to talk
the teacher who made the assignment. I see no reason to complain. In
fact, if a student found this forum to ask the question I would think
that shows good work.
