I hate ICQ too! I use Trillian (available at http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/)

Quote:
Trillian™ is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, and privacy settings.


Too add to my list of Free Programs I posted, there is Audacity, the Open Source Sound/Music Editing program, and also, for now, Microsoft Office 2007 beta, and also Microsoft Windows Vista RC2 was free, but is no longer available dues to a very high volume of downloads from the start, although it is still available through some torrents, just search at www.bittorrent.com although Im not sure if it is legal!

I like astonshell as a winxp explorer.exe simply because it replaces explorer.exe instead of doubling up the resources to reshell.

Or just be a cheap prick and download for free. Of course, you could get done for that.

I am using a good free sustem optimiser, there are loads out there, that can also free memory.
TweakUI is great

I am also using the official Microsoft tool, Windows Install CleanUp, which removed registry entries of windows MSI installers, that can be annoying when corrupt/lost.
