Flashmute

Ever go to a website that has music playing in the background? Ever want that sound to go away? Ever been playing a flash game, but it has annoying sounds and you wish you could shut them off, but the guy who made the game didn’t make a volume or mute button? Then you need Flashmute

Flashmute sits in your system tray, and works just like your Windows volume control, except it works for your browser. You can keep it muted or just turn it down low. You can make it mute just flash, or you can make it mute your whole browser.

Also, instead of it running in your system tray, you can have it run as a shortcut key instead, but then it just mutes or unmutes. Once I’ve used Flashmute, I don’t know how I could go without it.

You can download it here.

Works on almost all browsers:

Internet Explorer
Netscape
Firefox
Mozilla
Opera

I’ve had this software on my computer for awhile now, but never wrote about it. Ever get annoyed by the arrangement of the windows in your taskbar? I know I have. Happens all the time. I actually used to close windows and reopen them just so they’d be in the order I wanted them in. I finally found a program that was supposed to make it so you can drop and drag the windows around on your taskbar, I installed it, and it didn’t work. I was pretty upset. But then I found this one, xNeat Window Manager, and I thought it probably won’t work, just like the other one. But I was wrong. I’ve been so happy with this feature, that I haven’t really used many other of the features, but nevertheless I love this program, and I don’t know how I could go without it now.

So I found this software that lets you keep stuff in your clipboard. So I can hit copy, copy, copy, and then paste, paste, paste. I think its pretty amazing. I love it and I use it all the time.
