Remove duplicate pictures

Recently I wanted to remove duplicate photos I had based on image content, not just file hash.
This program, AllDup by MTSD, did a great job.

Resource Hacker

A resource editor for Windows executables. It should be familiar to anyone who enjoys exploring the internals of computers and operating systems.

Windows Enabler

A very interesting Windows utility that helps you "hack" certain applications by allowing you to enable disabled buttons, checkboxes, menu options, and other UI elements, making them clickable.

HideWindow by Adrian Lopez

This is an ancient piece of software written back in the 90s by Adrian Lopez that interestingly enough still works to this day in toggling the visibility state of windows in Windows.

The version hosted by the Wayback Machine is 1.31:

Version 1.43 is also known to exist, but I could not find it online:

- https://web.archive.org/web/20050113175440/http://pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/h/hidewindow_1_43.asp

While not malicious, it has been bundled together with malware and used to hide the application windows of third party executables, like mIRC operating as a "zombie" (bot).

mdm.exe is in reality HideWindow by Adrian Lopez, but he's quite innocent otherwise.
