Absolute Shutdown

Tired of waiting 2 minutes for Windows to shut down or reboot? Windows is usually waiting a loooong time for programs, processes and services to close/stop before actually shutting down. Run this program once, and after a reboot, Windows will shut down and reboot much faster. The program changes the settings Windows use for closing/stopping programs and services. You may just delete the program after use. Designed for Windows 2000/Windows XP.

Monkey Jam

MonkeyJam is a digital pencil test program. It is designed to let you capture images from a webcam, camcorder, or scanner and assemble them as separate frames of an animation. You can also import images and sound files already on your computer. Although it is designed for pencil and paper, MonkeyJam can also be used for StopMotion animation and has several features just for that. Movies created in MonkeyJam can be exported as AVI files.
