While I don't think it's as pretty, Eric Gunnerson’s RegexW has some cool features I wish RegexD [1] had, like regex->English translation and menus for regex parts. Anyone want to merge the best of both into some uber regex tool?

Tired of the XmlSerializer’s generic “File or assembly name
ctewkx4b.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found” exception?
The XmlSerializerPreCompiler tools
checks to see if a type can be serialized by the XmlSerializer class and if
it can’t, shows the compiler errors happening behind the scenes so that the
type can be modified. Enjoy.
The fact that Windows XP Find in Files only searches files
with known file extensions drives me crazy because it skips, among other
things, .cs files. Every time I set up a new system, I have to
re-figure out how to fix this. To facilitate that, I put together
a .reg file that will
search all unknown file extensions as text files. Enjoy.
I got turned onto this tool internally and I love it. It installs simply, works intuitively and allows for easy ad hoc queries and commands. Recommended.
Sorry for the long wait. There’s been two whole books written between the last release of Genghis and this one. Here’s the list of new features:
Everything works under .NET 1.0 and 1.1 (except HandleCollector)
MSN Messanger-style popup window
UI Type Editor for use with ImageList index selection
AppBar implementation
Text file search
Themed controls
Single instance application support, including passing command line args from other instances
Multiple top-level window support
Many enhancements and fixes to the command line parser
Splash screen class
Improved WebCommandLineHelper class which now works with .NET 1.0 and 1.1, includes URL decoding and requires no additional permissions (although it does require a server-side HTTP handler, included as the ConfigFileHandler class that maps requests for foo.exe?bar=quux.config to the foo.exe.config file)
WizardSheet updates
Status Bar Extender for mapping status messages to Windows Forms controls
Thanks to my new build master, Mike Marshal, who got all of this together. He’s the greatest!
