There are a million and one reasons why you need a good screen capturing program. Maybe you want to save a document what is on your screen. Maybe you want to get a graphic, or just share your desktop layout with friends. No mater what the reason is, I have a good […]

A good wallpaper changer is hard to find. I have looked at many, but for the first time I think I have found one that is functional and unique in the way it is set up. BioniXWallpaper gives you a familiar “Winamp” like interface and a small file size. Always a good […]

Ever wanted a super tool for your Windows taskbar? Sure “super” might cover a lot of bases - but thankfully so does the XNeat Windows Manager. It gives your taskbar a boost in just about every which way imaginable. This download includes many tools people are not even seeing in Vista as […]

I like to download eBooks in my spare time. No matter if you like novels or help books, there is an eBook out there for anybody and everybody. Having downloaded several though, I am having trouble managing them all. I looked at several solutions, but the best one I found was My […]

Text editors always seem to fascinate me for some odd reason. It might just be because I keep my nose shoved into one just about every day. A few days ago I started trying out a new one named KeyNote. Now why might you need yet another text editor? KeyNote does a little more than […]

Once you get a few dozen or a few hundred desktop wallpapers downloaded, it is hard to find time to use them all and manage them all. Sure, you could go in and do all of this work manually. You could try to remember to change it and do so daily, hourly, or weekly. Why […]

I have reviewed several “saves your phrases for later” type applications and they all seem to be lacking something. Clipboard programs just have yet to really amaze me over the long run. Maybe I am just picky? Maybe I have not been introduced to the right one. With that said, PhraseExpress goes a long way […]

Desktop widgets and gadgets are usually only fun for me for about five minutes. Then I notice how much of a distraction they are and turn them off. Roxio’s MediaTicker might be an exception to that rule. It is functional and nice to look at. The only question you probably have is: What is it?
On […]

When it comes to hotkeys, many of us know the Windows defaults. Don’t you wish there was an easy way to extend on that idea though? What if you could develop your own set of hotkeys that would help you get your work done faster? AutoHotkey is the freeware download that you need to make […]

When it comes to MP3 management, there are a lot of programs out there that will do a lot of things. It is often hard to find a good power tool that will let you organize and rename your files, and going through each one - one by one - is torture. If you find […]

Need yet another powerful alternative to WinZip for zipping and unzipping your files? Well I can give you one, and I’ll even do it for free. While looking for other good zipping programs that have not gotten a lot of press, I found ZipGenius. I might be able to say it is one of the […]

There are dozens of ways for you to download videos from the various video sharing Web sites out there like YouTube, but there are not that many places that let you know what you can do with them after you have captured them onto your own personal computer. The only good Flash movie player I […]

A good text editor is like that old smelly pair of socks you refuse to change. You like how they feel, and you have just gotten used to the smell. I don’t know too many people who change text editors after they find one they like, but hopefully I’ll get those folks out there that […]

I have said it before: The simple programs are sometimes the best. Looking at different alarm applications out there, it was hard to find one I liked. They all seemed to be tied into another program or were too feature rich for my liking. I just needed on thing done and done well - is […]

Around every week or so I like to change my desktop wallpaper. It is kind of my reward for a week’s worth of work I guess you could say. No matter how dull or sad you might find that, you have to admit one thing. It is not an easy task to do. No matter […]

One feature that I really like in Windows XP is the ability to preview photos and graphics as thumbnails, though some may say that they are too big and take up too much space. Do you really need that much of a preview to see what the photo is? If you want graphic previews for […]

The quick launch tool provided by the task bar in Windows is outdated and just does not do the job for me anymore. I have too many programs I like to use, and for me, quick launch just seems less efficient than some of the other options out there. To launch my programs quickly, I […]

I really love finding neat programs that are simple in nature and just do a job really well. One program I ran across the other day that fits that description is Hot Corners. What is Hot Corners all about? Well, it allows you to set specific actions depending on which part of the screen your […]

One thing that everybody seems to want to know more about is the number of programs that launch when your computer starts up. Now Windows has a pretty good tool to figure this all out by default, but it doesn’t tell you very much. I wanted to find something that would give me more and […]

I have always wanted to talk to my computer. Well, let me take that back - I talk to my computer all the time. I have probably called it every four-letter word in the book. It does not understand what I am saying though. It is just a dumb box of PC parts. If you […]
