| 100xCD v2.7 [667k] W9x/2k/XP FREE | This utility will speed up your CD-ROM. How does it do that, you ask? By caching certain data to your hard drive. Does it really matter how it does it? In theory, no. It just makes everything (from CD) run smoother - and you can't ask for much more than that. http://www.100xcd.com/100xCD/ you can download this freeware below: http://www.100xcd.com/100xCD/download.htm |
| 2xExplorer v1.4.1.12 | This substitute for Windows Explorer is faster, has more features, and makes anything you have to do with files almost a pleasure. Its interface has the dual-panes you're familiar with (not unlike Norton Commander, an old DOS program many of us fondly remember). Unlike Windows Explorer, it allows keyboard shortcuts for almost every function. Download or visit the authors website Author: Nikos Bozinis |
| "A Word or Phrase in the File" Search Criterion May Not Work in WinXP | "A Word or Phrase in the File" Search Criterion May Not Work in
WinXP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309173 When you search for files containing text by using the "A word or phrase in the file" search condition, the search results may not contain files that contain the text specified. For example, .log, .dll, .js, .asp, .xml, .xsl, .hta, .css, .wsh, .cpp, .c, or .h files (or even files with no file name extension) may not appear in the search results, even if the files DO contain the text that you specified. This problem may occur even if you specified the file name or type in the "All or part of the file name" box. The cause of the issue is the filter component is not registered for the file type that contains the text that you specified, or the filter component ignored the text that you specified. For a file type to be included in the search results when using the "A word or phrase in the file" search option, a valid filter component must be registered for that file type. Windows XP registers filter components only for file types that are associated with common document types. One resolution is to get the latest service pack for Windows XP or install the "Windows XP Application Compatibility Update, October 25, 2001" from the Windows Update Web site. The second way to fix it is to configure Windows XP to search all files no matter the file type, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP, and then turn on the "Index file types with unknown extensions" option. |
| A43 [704K] Win2k/XP FREE | http://www.shawneelink.net/~bgmiller/
There's at least one thing that all of our computers have in common -
tons of files. If A lot of functionality is built into this application. It resembles Windows Explorer, making it easy to find the files you desire. All of the normal copy, deletion, and find tools are built right in. Integrated zip/unzip features are available for those of you that would like to manage a group of your files in this way. In addition to this, a very nice text editor is included, along with a hex and image viewer. A quick launch tool gives you immediate access to the programs and files that you use the most. It's nice to have all of these functions within one program. Give A43 a try if you've been looking for a program to assist you with your file management needs. |

| AB Commander LITE v6.1 [562k] W9x/2k/XP FREE | http://www.winability.com/abcommander/lite.htm
{File manager} Many aren't fans of Microsoft's built-in File Explorer, and they seek another solution. AB Commander LITE is a dual-panel file manager that allows you to work simultaneously with two different folders side-by-side, using drag and drop and right-click. The usual file management commands of Copy, Move, Rename, and Browse are included. There is a command line bar at the bottom of the window for running programs that require command line arguments. You can drag the file using the mouse to drop it into the command bar and not have to type anything. If you need to edit a text file, press Ctrl + Q and the file will automatically open with Notepad or your text editor of choice. To ensure you're getting the full functionality of AB Commander LITE, ensure that you download the LITE version and not the ME or XP editions. This program might just make a convert out of me, as I like dual panels. |

your machine to the systray. I know many programs out there come with systray icons but what about Word or Excel.

files. So what can you do? Let AutoDown come to the rescue with its ability to shut
down your computer at a predetermined time. All you have to do is estimate how long a task
will take, then start the program, click Set Shutdown, and enter the time that you want
your computer to turn off. |

| CacheMan v5.11 | Sometimes slow computer performance can be attributed to poor
memory management. With CacheMan, you can adjust the size of your cache, minimizing the
need to swap files between your memory and hard drive. Since accessing data from the cache
is faster than from the hard drive, the result is improved system performance. These
settings can be changed manually by changing a Windows system .ini file, but why do that
when you can adjust the size of your cache with sliders? There are also automatic
settings, so that you can choose the optimization method depending on how you're using
your computer; using multiple applications at once, or using a CD-writer, for instance. It

includes an improved uninstaller that restores your computer to its original settings
regardless of the tweaks made. |

| CDCheck |
Some CD-R manufacturers claim that CD-Rs can last 100 years
if cared for properly. Before that theory is fully tested, why don't you periodically check to be sure your data is where it's supposed to be?

You can perform a test to compare the file on your CD-R with the original file on your hard drive to make sure the files are identical. If errors are found, then you know it's time to move your backup to other media. Price: Free Download CDCheck now at: http://fusion.zejn.si/ |

Or, if there is a page you won't want, you can specifically list the complete URL to avoid getting the page. Enter the URLs for the sites you never want to come through and they're forever banned from your view in Internet Explorer. (Users who rely on Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera or use Windows 95, 2000, or NT can't benefit from the program.) To quickly turn the program on and off, create custom shortcut keys. The program launches and closes automatically with Internet Explorer. When you first build the domain filters, there's a prompt dialog box for each pop up window. However, it's optional and can be turned off. The program can sit in the system tray or be hidden. It's up to you. In my case, it should be called "Window Blinds" since I have nary a curtain in the house, with no time to decorate the house more than necessary... plus I don't have an eye for it |

| WinSplit |
Avoid being forced into the world of CD-Rs and Zip disks when
you need to exchange large files between computers. WinSplit is a free utility that splits
even 1GB files into e-mail or floppy-friendly bites, and re-joins the data into a single
file at its destination. Three splitting options let you split the file by size, number of
pieces, and at every instance of a particular word (when breaking up text files). There is
also a feature that checks to ensure that all of the file pieces are an exact copy of the
original. This application is free for personal use; the fee for corporate use is $20. Price: Free | Author: Ashok Hariharan | Version: 1.0.8 | File Size: 22KB |

the system whether it was coded to support it or not.

| XP User Display Settings v2.0 [21k] WXP FREE | {Change screen resolution} With this program, you can set a
different Windows XP display setting for each user, but the difference is that you can do
it from a graphical interface. No more batch files or long codes. Just double-click the
program; choose the resolution, refresh rate, and color depth; and then click
"Apply." You can even use this program as a quick way to change resolution by
un-checking the "Apply at each logon" checkbox, as this will cause your
resolution to reset after a system restart. Just place the program in a directory that is
accessible by all your users, and then run the program for each person's logon to save
their resolution. Now everyone in your family can have their own preferred screen
resolution, and it will only take you a couple of minutes to set it all up - painlessly!
It's easy and affordable... what more could a computer geek want? http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_userdisplay.htm |
