...and for
passwords and stuff, NiceStart 2.0 is da bomb! Not only does it allow you to skin your password screen, it also allow you to time-lock it after n-failure attempts, and log all password input/failure, etc..
....then there's also turning your Ax into
landscape mode. I've used
JimmySoft's JS-LandscapeX, but found that
Nyditot's Virtual Display v.3 to be much more feature packed!
These 2 utilities, along with the few that are mentioned in this thread are indispensable IMHO.
