![Preview Best Windows Freebies and Guides 19 [October 2009]](http://mintywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Preview.jpg "Preview")
Every month we take a look around some of the most interesting windows-related web sites. We collect the best free stuff and write tips to help you get more out of Windows. Below you’ll find wallpapers, icon packs, fonts, screensavers, and freeware we’ve found over the last 30 days. We’ve also put together our most popular windows guides.
Enjoy the overview of stuff you shouldn’t have missed in October 2009.
If you love fonts, you’ve no doubt spent some of your time browsing fonts on Windows Guides. In this guide, you’ll learn about Windows Fonts Explorer and where to download it.
If you are making a PowerPoint presentation, poster, graphic, or anything that requires typography, you may find some of these fonts useful. There many free fonts out there but it is often hard to find good ones as there is so much choice and so many fonts are not very high quality. In these collections, I attempt to find the best free fonts out there and provide direct download links to them so you can start using them straight away. If you are unsure of how to install a font, learn here.

A collection of desktop wallpapers for Windows, OS X, and Linux. If you have wallpapers you’ve made yourself or if you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments or contact me.
By default in Windows 7, there’s a 400ms delay between you hovering your mouse over an open program’s Taskbar icon, and a preview of the open program being shown.
This guide will show you how to shorten that delay.
Paint.NET is an excellent, free program, which helps you manipulate your images and create some of your own. I’ve reviewed Paint.NET before and in this guide, I’ll show you how to resize a picture with this program. While this task may be simple for many of you, we all have to start somewhere. You may want to skip this guide if you can confidently resize a picture.
A round up of the best icon packs on the web. Full credit goes to the image authors. Let us know about any others you really like!
Check out more icon collections on Mintywhite.com or learn how to use these on a dock in Windows.
There are so many good websites out there; it can sometimes be hard to decide what to read and when to find time to read it. One site I highly recommend is Windows 7 Update, which is run by Onuora Amobi. Windows7Update brings you the most accurate news, screenshots, wallpaper, downloads, articles, research and books related to Windows 7. Here are some links to get you started:

Those with eagle eyes may have noticed, by reading the LiberKey review, you can review software with me now. In fact, most software reviews I’ll do from now on will let you have your say: by rating the product and by leaving your thoughts in the comments.
I believe in listening to and responding to user feedback; this feedback is always helpful for me and for other readers of the site.
Last month I gave you a site update and promised this feature. Now it’s here, what do you think? Please rate the software rating system (below) and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
