Zoom ActiveX control
By Inspired Creations
A Zoom control, can magnify the contents of the desktop. It is a powerfull magnifier, that can magnify the contents of the desktop from 1 to 100 times. The "hot" point of the interest can be either the cursor position or can be manually set. The control provides the ability to the user, to Freeze the view area for most accurate view. It can draw a grid and has two built-in rulers(bars) with two markers on each for calculating sizes and distance. The bars and their divisions are fully customizable and the markers can be driven by the mouse or externally(by code). Each time a marker changes its position, generates a MarkerChange event and outputs the distance between itself and the other one in the same bar. The colors of the grid, the markers and the divisions can be customized. The control''s architecture prevents it from zooming in a loop (black-hole) when the mouse moves over it. The Zoom ActiveX control is a hi-end component that can be used as a standalone professional magnifier or as a part of an image editing application.
SmoothSurfin
By Harmony Hollow Software
Powerful, no-nonsense pop-up protection utility that is guaranteed to provide annoyance-free web browsing at all times while it is on duty, effectively terminating all unwanted pop-up browser windows automatically. SmoothSurfin'' can be configured to start automatically when Windows is started and sits quietly in your System Tray, consuming very little resources, vigilantly standing guard against the ever-strengthening onslaught of annoying pop-up advertising windows that seem to be taking over the Web; allowing smooth, peaceful surfing at all times. Unlike other pop-up eliminators, SmoothSurfin'' indiscriminately targets and terminates ANY and ALL browser windows that attempt to open from within an existing one. You can enable or disable pop-ups at any time by one of several quick and convenient shortcuts. You can also hold down a special, user-defined hotkey to temporarily disable protection and allow a pop-up to open. The program also keeps a log of all urls in closed pop-ups in case you need to go back and see what you missed or add those urls or domains to one of the program''s two whitelists. The whitelists allow you to specify urls or complete domains from which you wish to allow pop-ups to open while protection is enabled. Integration with the Internet Explorer toolbar and context menus allow you to conveniently control the program while browsing the Web.

SecretMe
By L-Tech
This application is a container to any program in your computer system to its shell by means of dynamically created tabs. SecretMe can hide instantly the opened programs currently running on its tabs with a set of hot keys (or rather secret keys). The hidden programs do not show their identities on the taskbar or anywhere on your desktop. You select which program to be hidden, and you define your own set of hot keys. When running on its standard interface, it does not consume much resources of your system. It restores hidden applications as quickly as it hides them, and I had tested it on popular applications like Firefox, Opera, IE7, MS Word, Excel, Outlook, and etc. You only need to set up your own hot keys, and that is all you would have to do. There are no meticulous tasks required to use this program.
