Rather than buying new programs, why not simply add the features to existing ones by using cheap or free plug-ins and add-ons? PCW has checked out over 200 plug-ins that could save you both time and money.

Installing new programs and utilities is time consuming, stressful and often costs money. The best way around this is to enhance your existing programs with plug-ins that can expand your PC's functionality with a minimum of stress, enabling you to be more creative and solve your problems more quickly. We've gathered more than 200 of the most important plug-ins for Windows, Office, Internet and multimedia applications. If you've bought the CD or DVD edition of PCW, you will find a selection of the best on the cover disc.

Something for everyone

Whatever your needs, there'll be something on the following pages to suit you; and, thanks to their modular construction using standard interface techniques, most plug-ins slot right into the main program with little fuss. We've split them into categories so you can find the best plug-ins for Windows XP, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Skype, Google Earth, Photoshop, Office, Itunes, Premiere and many other standard programs with a click of your mouse. And in the tables on pages 126 and 127, you'll find information on dozens more we didn't have space to review.
