1. "File Informer" ~ This little program lets you see information about some of your files without hassle. Just download, install and Voila! Now you can let your mouse hover over the file, and it will tell you the size of the file and sometimes other details!
   Download the ZIP file here
   
   
2. "Pixia" ~ A cool freeware graphics program that lets you create stunning photo-realistic effects. When you get to the page, scroll down a bit until you find the "Pixia English Edition" button and click that one. (unless you are able to read Japanese!) The last time I checked, there was no English language Help file for Pixia, but the program itself is fairly easy to use, and you should be able to figure out how to use it with just a few hours practice on it.

• Our editor would like to add these great free programs also. The first one is "sTile 99", a completely free, awesome little program to create seamless background graphics. Available at: sTile 99 Homepage
  sTile also has a "sister" program called "Batch Thumbs" which can be used to create a batch of thumbnails of different images. (same link for either) Both of these are fun proggies, and easy to use! (5 Star Rating! - editor)
  
  
• The second pick is for a really neat free email program called "Facemail". Want to send a 3D messenger to speak your email to your friends? Try this program on for size! (Gotta love those faces!) Available at FaceMail
  Wait for the page to fully load, and you will most likely be prompted to download the program, go ahead and accept it, (Windows/Pentium only) you will be amazed at what this free program can do! Try typing in a joke and letting the 3D "faces" read it to you complete with facial expressions ;-) Too cool! You can even record your message in your own voice, rather than typing it in! (5 Star rating! - editor)
