Essential Windows 95 utilities:
TweakMASTER - the award winning utility that has doubled connections speeds. This new generation Internet Optimizer. It promotes faster Internet download speeds by carefully and intelligently tweaking various 'hidden' Windows settings. Ideal for ALL types of connections including dial-up, cable & DSL; for all versions of Windows and AOL 5.0/6.0. Includes an easy-to use wizard, innovative DNS Accelerator to help websites load faster, a handy PC clock synchronizaton utility and AOL Disconnect Prevention.
DU Meter - A superb little Internet connection monitor available as fully functional time-limited shareware. This meter is the best tool we have found to monitor your download and upload speeds, and used in conjunction with TweakDUN it provides the perfect feedback to help you optimize your Internet connection.
ClipCache - The finest Windows Clipboard enhancement tool available... a must have if you do any word processing, email or web surfing!
Powertoys - that great source of Win95 shell enhancement tools including the almost indispensable TweakUI. We also love XMouse, Quickres and Deskmenu. If you add anything to Windows 95, add the Powertoys! If you're using Windows 98, get the Win98 specific version of TweakUI .
Kernel Toys - The Windows 95 kernel team got jealous of all the attention the shell team has been getting from its PowerToys, so they decided to polish up their own personal toys and make their own web page. Strictly for Power Users!
CD-ROM Extras - Various utilities and other features from the Windows 95 CD-ROM available for download separately
Font Smoother one of several system enhancements originally included in the Plus! Pack for Windows 95.... now get it free from Microsoft
Microsoft Word 97 Document Converter - A free utility from MS which allows users of Word 95 or Word 6.0 to open documents created in Word 97.
Microsoft® Word Viewer 97-2000 - [3860 KB] This free utility allows people who already use any version of Microsoft Word to now share their documents with users who do not have Word. Also enables you to view (but not edit) Microsoft Word documents without having to open Word.
Microsoft Converters and Viewers - For a complete list of converters for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc
NetMeeting - If you have Internet Explorer, you already have NetMeeting installed (check the Program Files Folder in Windows Explorer). But have you ever used it? Did you know that with a sound card, some cheap speakers and a cheap microphone, you can talk to people anywhere in the world, and it sounds better than the telephone? And no need to use the Microsoft servers... You can call the person direct if you have their IP address at log on (use winipcfg.exe in C:\windows).
CuteFTP - For FTP transfers, nothing beats CuteFTP, the highest rated FTP client on the Internet. For the novice to the advanced user, CuteFTP covers it all. Grab your copy now! It's Cute, but take it seriously!
The Dunce - a great little "must-have" utility from Vector Development which will automate the Win95 DialUp adapter and overcome any password problems
PS2Rate - a neat free little tool that will allow you to smooth out your mouse movements to an extent you just won't believe! Download this free little mouse refresh rate checking tool, Mouserate , and you will find the Windows default is set to about 40 Hz... bump it up to 100 with PS2Rate and see the difference! Very cool tool, discovered for us by The Lockergnome
Fire Client - Fire Client is the MUD client of the future. Using a custom specification called IMP (Interactive Mudding Protocol), Fire Client works solidly not only as a MUD client, but as a multimedia client as well.
DUW - this cool little freeware utility tells you at a glance how much disk space each of your directories occupy (including their respective subdirectories).... a InfiniSource "must have"
Free Memory Tool - freeware utility that reallocates RAM within Windows 95 when things start to slow down, by making Windows 95 swap out unused programs and DLLs in order to release a specific amount of memory... you can download it right from here... another InfiniSource "must have"
The Cleaner - Keep your system free from Trojans, destructive little programs that can easily find their way into your system from email attachments, web sites, etc. Better safe than sorry
Atom Time - very cool little freeware app that automatically sets your PC clock to the Atomic Clock in Colorado... another InfiniSource "must have"
TJ Ping - We love this one and you will too... a superb freeware ping, IP lookup and traceroute utility. Forget DOS... you can do it all in Windows and cut and paste to your heart's content.
WinSystem98 - this handy freeware utility monitors total ram amount of your PC, free ram available, motherboard and cpu temperature, cpu usage. (if wanted, in the taskbar like NT4 TaskManager), free system, gdi and user resources, running processes, hard drives activity, and modem activity via the Dial Up Networking.
Cleansweep 4.0 - one of the best uninstallers on the market, this great app from Quarterdeck will also comb through your harddrive and help you eliminate hundreds of useless, unassociated files left over from previous versions of other software programs
Encryption Software from Cerberus Systems - protect the sensitive information on your PC or laptop with some of the Best encryption software available... "Encryption Software that Windows® won't bypass." ... another InfiniSource "must have" - now with exciting new features!!!

RedBox Organizer - an elegant, multi-featured, excellent Personal Information Manager (PIM) that gives you instant access to a full-featured Calendar, To-Do, Planner, Contacts, Notes, Link, Anniversary, Reports, Reminders and Phone Dialer. And it uses very little memory. A great program!
INF-Tool - this innovative software offers 4 setup methods which are based on Windows' INF technology. Thus, due to their 100% Windows integration and their incredibly small overhead of only a few KB's, this can reduce the size of any programmers installation exe's dramatically. Simple and bullet-proof, even for novice users.
RegClean -
Windows 95 uses a registry to store information about all the programs you install. Over time lots of obsolete entries remain which can be removed using RegClean. This utility from Microsoft is explained more in MSKB article 147769 page. This page gives instructions on how to use it. We recommend backing up your Registry first. If you need help with this, take a quick look at our manual instructions for backing up your registry.
RegMaid is a utility designed to clean up invalid registry entries caused by deleting OLE projects created with Visual C++ and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). RegMaid provides information about entries that are believed to be problematic within the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: CLSID, ProgId, TypeLib, and Interface sections of the registry. It does not currently have an Archive and Restore capability. This utility from Microsoft is explained more in MSKB article Q156078. Once again we'd advise backing up the registry first.
Windows95 Registry FAQ - "95 Things You Need To Know About The Registry" - a must read available in freeware, as a downloadable Windows helpfile.
Please do not send Windows support questions by e-mail, they will go unanswered! We get many mails asking the same things, so that's one of the reasons we've set up a Support BBS. Read through the posts, and if you don't find an answer to your problem, post a message. This will benefit everyone in a similar situation (and while you are there, why not answer some of the questions you know the answer to!).
