The datafile label is to tell you the name of the file in which the program stores data, so if you need to move the program, you know which file to move with it. Most of them are pretty obvious, but we'll tell you anyways just to be thorough.
SA File means that it is a Stand Alone file and it doesn't need to be installed.
Install means that the program needs to be installed to be used properly.

Featured Program
Here is the current featured program! Recommended by Banana Fred!

BananaClock (SA File)
BananaClock is a easy to use, feature-filled digital clock that you can put anywhere on the screen, and is always ontop - you can set the window transparency! Shows the date and time in a much larger font than the Windows Clock, but it's small enough that it poses no problem to doing whatever you do on the PC. Also includes features such as a count-down timer, alarms, and more. If you like analog clocks more, make sure to check out corz clock (just scroll down).
Update 11/15/07: Fixed the alarm buttons, made it so that ALL of the timer button works, and the timer has the same transparency as the same window.

Guitar Player

For people who have rock band (any version): This program lets you plug the cord/wireless reciever from your Guitar controller into your computer and play the guitar using your controller, via your computer's speakers! Use the bigger frets to play chords. A note guide and song is included in the ZIP file. Use the smaller frets to play single notes. You can play a whole lot of notes and chords! Strum and hold to play a note. Which way you strum makes a difference! The really cool thing about this is that you don't have to play the guitar. The guitar is only 127th of it. You can play any instrument from the harmonica to the flute to the trombone to the synth to the machine gun (yes you can play individual chords and notes even to the sound effects). A categorized list of all 127 instruments and sound effects is provided. This program also shows you what note you are playing and what frets you are hitting, along with a chord guide along the side. Enjoy!

See, matt? I posted it.

BananaSequencer

Another music program! In this one, you are presented with eight sets of sliders. Each set controls the pitch and length of a note in a sequence. Press "Preview" to play your sequence once, and "Loop" to loop it. You can adjust the notes while it's playing! Prepare for hours of semi-repetitive music creation!

Ultimate Copy
Let's face it. Copying files in Windows sucks. It just gives you progress and the file it's copying, and if a single file fails to copy, it stops. You can't filter what it copies by file type, and you can't exclude certain file types. It doesn't generate a list of files copied, and always asks if you want to overwrite. Ultimate Copy fixes all of that, and  more.

Madness (SA File)

This program is guaranteed to drive you insane. You should probably use it on someone else, if you don't want to go insane. It will slowly make them get more and more frustrated - what is wrong with my mouse? why is my computer beeping? WHAT IS UP WITH MY KEYBOARD?  - until they're finally foaming at the mouth. Luckily, it goes away once you turn off your PC.

Annoyance (SA File)

This program is annoying. Not as annoying as Katz, but still, highly annoying. It's easy to close, too. Just press Ctrl+z. When the "a" button on the keyboard is pressed, it plays a loud smashing sound. It's completely invisible and hilarious to run on someone's computer then watch them be frustrated! If you want to change the sound it plays, just replace "bong.wav" (In the folder that Annoyance.exe is in) with another sound file. The other sound file needs to be named "bong.wav" because Annoyance plays the sound file called bong.wav. Have fun!

Countdown (SA File)

A simple program that returns the number of days and weeks from now until a date in the future that you specify. Remember to format the date right (example: 03/01/2009 for March 1st 2009 instead of 3/1/09). Have fun!

BubbleBreaker (SA File) (By SadBunny)

Sadbunny got addicted to mobile phone BubbleBreaker. His screen got too little so he made the game on a big computer. The object is to remove sections of adjoined bubbles that have the same color. The game comes with some nice music and graphics and was coded in AutoItScript 3 (www.autoitscript.com). Source code is included with the game for those interested.

Note: This program is made by someone else - but I have tested it and my computer didn't blow up or anything and it's a fun game.

MediaPlayer is a media player, quite obviously. It can play pictures, video, and audio, but the main focus is audio. You can even create playlists, a library, and create a custom list of songs. This is a program you should defenitely check out. When you first run it, it creates a library, so you can get started quickly! You can even operate it by right-clicking on the tray icon!

Update 12-10-07: Bugs fixed and stuff!

Notice 8-27-08: Warning: We were recently contacted and told that when a Vista user indexed his MP3s MediaPlayer deleted all of the indexed MP3s. You are advised to back up your MP3s before you index them in Vista. I have checked the code and not discovered any commands that even delete a file, so I believe it has to do with the function of Windows that reads the tags on MP3 files.
