JAlbum - Free Web Photo Album
This is brilliant! This web photo album generator is incredibly versatile and flexible. Making an album is just a matter of drag and drop + a button click if you prefer to use one of the many existing ready-made 'skins' which define the album appearance, or you can create and customize your own layouts. New users can generate an album in three easy steps, and power users will appreciate the scripting capabilities, image filters, and integrated FTP. JAlbum will process your images, make index pages and slide show pages and even upload the final album to the Internet for your friends to see. No extra software is needed to view the albums - just your web browser. As I said, it's BRILLIANT, and it's FREE. Get it from here http://jalbum.net/

Key Wallet - Password Manager
I've tried lots of Password Manager software, only a tiny minority of them being Freeware. Amazingly in spite of the fact that it's FREE, I rate KeyWallet as my favourite! The KeyWallet site forum suggests that people have lost keys and had all sort of issues with this software and yet I've had NO problems whatsoever over a number of years, and I have used it intensively. The secret, as the KeyWallet site emphasises, is to backup the KeyWallet Directory regularly and often. Secondly when making backups (called exporting) only select/tick the "protect with password" option - NEVER EVER select either of the other two options. It's always a good idea, no matter what Password Manager you use, to keep a paper copy of all your passwords hidden away somewhere - just in case! You can get KeyWallet from http://www.keywallet.com
