Free Meter and Cool Beans- Replaced by Tiny Res Meter
Tiny Res Meter's new release measures so much and costs so little resources that it is the only resource meter that I can recommend. It does everything I need and it is flexible and customizable... Free Meter is a good thing but I really like Tiny Res now. So I have to take Free Meter off Mighty Joe's Freeware - Tried and True!.

Free Meter
This program displays many of the things that I am interested in but it uses a fair amount of resources to do it. If you have plenty of RAM then this is the program for you.

Cool Beans Memory Meter
The problem with performance meters is that they take resources to measure the very thing you are trying to save. This is a barebones performance meter so the resource consumption is held to a minimum.
For some reason Cool Bean's home site is currently down.

You can use this is an alternative to download the application:

Soda Bush - Xplorer2 Doesn't Show Soda Bush Changes
I used Soda Bush for a while but I have all but stopped using desktop explorer. I use Xplorer2 because it is faster and more powerful. So I don't monkey with programs to tweak explorer. Soda Bush put attractive icon pictures that showed up on the lower right, say if it was my Music it had a little speaker window there. And there were a lot of other pics. If you are really into explorer and tweaking the background of the explorer window then this is a good program... perhaps the only one... it is the only one I have seen...

Soda Bush WindowPaperXP
I’m doing a lot of work with this program. It’s an easy, free, way to enhance your Windows experience. It replaces the background in your file explorer window with any picture file you choose to point to. For example, if I pull up c:\my documents and I want to change the background to blue and the text to red than I just make those changes in the WindowPaper interface. I could also point to an image file and have the background display any picture I choose.
