If you're up for some Pocket PC development I'd like an application that will take a list of websites and cahce them all at scheduled times.

Re: Making Your Life Easier
A program where when someone emails me with more spam I can press this button and detonate the other persons computer.

Re: Making Your Life Easier
Something for the visually impaired? Or maybe automate regular PC maintenance?

Re: Making Your Life Easier
I'd like a little program which activates when you use IE which will automatically open several different (specified) web pages when you click on the IE icon. The program could sit in a toolbar, and would allow you to specify which websites you want to automatically open up when you use IE. But you would have the option to disable it.
I often check the same few sites on a regular basis like Celebdaq, BBC new, cableforum, hotmail and sometimes forget to check one of them.
I am aware that one of the other browsers aleady has this feature, but a Windows/IE one would be nice.

Re: Making Your Life Easier
An application that would tell all the naggy little warning messages to p*ss off and then write an email to Bill Gates to ask why his software is like my mother...
