Recommend a program
Just wondering if I can recommend a program I have downloaded and tried out.If so, I will put the name of it on, it will not suit every one as it is a FREE program, it is a note pad or jotter.
I have used it for notes, phone book, remembering pass words, birthdays. well anything.
There is no adverts and you can change font size, colours, size plus it hides it self to needed.
Did I say it was free, plus it has a video help file.
So if a mod will let me put the program name on, watch this space.

Re: Recommend a program
I find the internet these days is absolutely swamped with dodgy downloads, even the ones off long established sites. Loads will install some background program without you knowing it. FREE programs especially are to blame for this. Just be aware that, as in life, anything 'FREE' is something rare and usually has a price somewhere down the line.

Re: Recommend a program
I have been using this program for over a week with no problem so far.I do find it better than the standard note pad that came with the machine.
If you do give it a try, to start the program from your desktop there is a little white square at the top of your screen and all you do is put your cursor over it and it pops up.
I would suggest you read the or look at the video that is on the help screen first.
Now the tricky bit, you can type in quicknote.de
or try this http://www.quicknote.de/

I used to think Cnet was trouble free for downloads but last time I used it I got stuck with a Malware toolbar which took ages to remove

A full review of Quicknote on Softpedia. More than just a Notepad replacement when reading the detail:http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/win...-74869.shtmlds
I thought I'd give it a try and installed Quicknote via the link given in ZX81's post. No PUPs were present. It looks to be a good Notepad replacement. It keeps text files in a single menu. Select the file you want to write/edit/read from it and the text appears in the larger part of the window. Files aren't in the .txt format though, so if you wanted to transfer writings to another computer, I think they would have to be copied/pasted into a .txt file first.
The 'right-click > Read aloud' option makes a good proof-reader for if you don't see your own typing mistakes. It reads some words wrongly though. For instance, it can't pronounce its own name. It calls iteslf 'Quickert' and pronounces keylogger as 'keylerjer'
Windows own 'Narrator' makes the same mistakes so it looks like Quicknote has tailored Narrator for the purpose and made it easy to use from within the program.The 'focusless input' is a bit strange. Write text in any program and it appears in Quicknote as well. Not sure when that would be needed but Quicknote has to be open for it to work. It doesn't work when the program is in sleep mode. I read in Quicknote's support page that one AV program detected Quicknote as being a trojan, maybe because this feature acts like a keylogger? I don't know if this would happen with any other AV program (didn't with mine) but if it does, the point has been explained by the developer (see the heading: Quicknote - a trojan?)

I've been using a program called 'Jarte' set to plain text mode as a Notepad replacement because it has a spell-checker included. That's the only thing missing in Quicknote. Quite good and interesting to try.

I could be dead by the time I have read all that and do I really need it I only read instructions when I can't work something out for myself.
I am a simple person with simple needs
and will manage with my sticky notes but thank you for the suggestion chaps
