07 (DESCRIPTION) Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook,
based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a
single keypress, even if you work in another application. You can include
many separate notes within a single Keynote file. This means that you can
create only one file and hold all your notes inside it and make it a three-
dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a multi-level, nested
pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data
securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. Keynote's interface and
behavior are extremely configurable (e.g., full hotkeys support,
customizable toolbars buttons). The feature of "virtual nodes" allow
linking of a tree node to a file in the drive. Importing and exporting
notes from richedit format and text formats are supported. The program also
supports per-file configuration settings, multiple backups and WordWeb
dictionary integration. More features are included such as styles, macros,
plugins, and templates. It can be used as a NOTES keeper, a diary, an
outliner, a knowledge base and other different types of information
managers as the user prefers.

07 (DESCRIPTION) FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a
system in real-time. Its advanced capabilities make it a powerful tool for
exploring the way Windows works, seeing how applications use the files and
DLLs, or tracking down problems in system or application file
configurations. Filemon's timestamping feature will show you precisely when
every open, read, write or delete, happens, and its status column tells you
the outcome. FileMon is so easy to use that you'll be an expert within
minutes. It begins monitoring when you start it, and its output window can
be saved to a file for off-line viewing. It has full search capability, and
if you find that you're getting information overload, simply set up one or
more filters.

07 (DESCRIPTION) Regmon is a Registry monitoring utility that will show you
which applications are accessing your Registry, which keys they are
accessing, and the Registry data that they are reading and writing - all in
real-time. This advanced utility takes you one step beyond what static
Registry tools can do, to let you see and understand exactly how programs
use the Registry. With static tools you might be able to see what Registry
values and keys changed. With Regmon you'll see how the values and keys
changed.

01 (PROGRAM NAME) Process Explorer
02 (WARE DESCRIPTION) Freeware
03 (OS-WIN) Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server

07 (DESCRIPTION) Ever wondered which program has a particular file or
directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you
information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window
always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names
of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom
window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle
mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has
opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and
memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has
a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes
have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded. The unique capabilities of
Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or
handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications
work.

07 (DESCRIPTION) This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge
of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs
are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the
entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in
your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can
configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell
extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications,
auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig
utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on
third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it
has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other
accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a
command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

[Susan Bugher]

There are a *few* programs now on the nominations page:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/2006PL-Nominations.php

I did my usual lousy job of explaining how to post program descriptions.

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/2006PL-Procedures.php

The GOAL is to have information that I can copy and paste. I can input an app in a couple of minutes
if that's ALL I have to do. Data input takes "forever" if the data has to be massaged.

*If* you include the fields that are shown on the procedures page please keep the fields on SEPARATE
lines as shown in the example. If you post the "field description" on the same line as the data I
have to separate the two. Each fields represents a cell in the spreadsheet. If complete information
is on one line in the proper format and the proper order I can copy and paste it. If it occupies
more than one line in your post I have to reformat the information into one line. Word wrap is quick
- finding missing information, rearranging data, standardizing the format etc. etc. etc. is
extremely time consuming.

and please - don't reinvent the wheel. . .

If the program is on PL2005 you do not need to show the data fields. COPY the description, VERIFY it
and REVISE it as *necessary*. The goal here is to revise the things that have changed. Update the
descriptive text if the author has, update ware descriptions as necessary (note: donation requests
may not be on the same page as the app's description), versions, links etc. TELL ME WHAT YOU REVISED
- a word by word comparison takes "forever".

CHECK the ACF program information pages if the app is not on the PL2005 list. If there is a "desc."
link you do not need to show the data fields. COPY that program description, VERIFY it and REVISE it
as necessary. Please tell me WHAT you revised - a word by word comparison takes a long, long time.

If the app does not have a "desc." link use the information on the ACF pages as a starting point -
VERIFY it and REVISE it as necessary. If a program is not listed you'll have to start from scratch.
Please check *very* thoroughly before doing that.

Please use the descriptions on the Pricelessware pages as examples. I've tried to standardize the
information on those pages - information in the same order and syntax every time, dates
(year-month-day), download sizes (KB) etc. etc. etc.

I *hope* that's a better explanation - questions please. . .

Susan
