1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 

Analyze and Administer Processes and System Services!

With Process Hacker you are able to analyze and administer processes and system services. With a double click on any entry in the process list (Processes) you open the task properties (Properties). This way you can find out which modules the process is using and if it is connected to any system service. By the context menu (right mouse button) you can finish processes and services or reboot them. With 'Search online' the program uses Google to search for information referring to the selected process. Using 'Run As', you are able to use a program as a guest without having signed on. This way you save yourself changing from one user to the other. 'View - Always On Top' maintains the tool window always in the foreground. If the program does not start, you will need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher.

Rawwrite 0.7
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 0 Points 

Creates Copies of the Content of a Diskette

The diskette is not out of use, yet. It still serves as a backup medium or as an emergency boot diskette. RawWrite creates identical copies of the content of a diskette. At the same time, also system files and hidden files are taken into consideration. This is why the tool is suited for creating the backups of your boot diskettes. So the backup diskettes themselves keep bootable. The handling is very simple. Please enter a file name with the img file type (for example: boot.img) in the Read-Register. After clicking on the 'Read' button, the program reads the inserted diskette and creates an image file which is filed in its own program folder. In the 'Write-Register', you are able to write these image files on diskettes again. The Virtual Floppy Drive tool creates virtual drives of these diskette copies. Important: RawWrite overwrites the previous content of a diskette.

Sumatra PDF 1.6
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 

Accelerates the Opening and Printing of PDF Files

Sumatra PDF is specialized in accelerating the opening and printing of pdf files considerably. Therefore you will have to do without some functions. The really important ones are available, though. This includes the zoom function and the direct access of a certain page (Go To - Page). The view menu offers diverse page views for you to choose. "Single Page" only displays one page, whereas "... continuously" shows them all. "Facing" shows two pages side by side. Several instances of Sumatra PDF can be started. In the Settings menu (Options) you install the tool as a standard reader for pdf files.

TestDisk 6.12
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 

Recovers deleted partitions if necessary

The program is arranged in the win subdirectory. After starting the program, please go to "Analyse". Does the deleted partition appear in the following partition list? Now, please select the line with the deleted partition. Using the right and left arrow keys you define one of the denominators: P, L, E or D. If you want to recover the partition, leave the 'L' there. With a click on 'P', the program displays the file structure of this partition. Now, confirm with 'Enter', please, and go to 'Write' afterward. Immediately the original partition structure is activated. After rebooting the program, the partition that had been lost before should be available again. The Help screen in html describes further approaches. In case you are using Windows 9x/ME or you can't boot with Windows NT/2000/XP/7 anymore, you have to use the DOS version of TestDisk (..\testdisk\dos). For that purpose you actually need a boot diskette or cd, such as those offered in Bootdisk.com. In the win folder you also find the PhotoRec tool which accesses the memory area of your digital camera and is able to recover deleted pictures, if necessary. Such programs should be used with extreme caution, as they manipulate the partition area!

Using the arrow keys you are able to move up and down in the text file. With the space key you turn over complete pages. In the text reader menu, there are many options for adapting the text display to your needs. For example, you may modify the text margin, line spacing, type size, color and type face. In order to access the menu, you just have to draw the cursor to the left half of the screen. Diverse background and frame designs are available (Profile - General). Units of measurements contained by the document can be converted in the convert register. If 'Allow editing' is activated, you are allowed to edit the text. For locating a certain word, please enter it in 'Find text'. Also the printing function and the link to the Gutenberg project should be mentioned here.

Virtual Floppy Drive 2.1.2008.206
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 0 Points 

Produces Up To Two Virtual Floppy Disk Drives in Windows

Virtual Floppy Drive produces in Windows up to two virtual floppy disk drives which make floppy disk images available. It is very useful for everyone whose Laptop or PC does not have a floppy disk drive. The shortcoming of this tool, not being able to produce images of floppy disks yet, can be resolved with Rawwrite. VFD is able to extract image files from Rawwrite to a virtual drive. First, start or install the driver. In the Drive0 or Drive1 register you open an image file and select a free drive letter. With Persistent/Global the drive appears as soon as the VFD drive is active, also after rebooting the system. A virtual drive only works in Windows, which is why it cannot be used as a 'boot disk'.

This version works only on 32 bit systems!

VVV 1.1
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 0 Points 

Accelerates the Locating of Files on CDs and DVDs

VVV, Virtual Volumes View, facilitates the locating of certain files on a cd, dvd or other media. In order to do so, the program archives in catalogs the structures of all files of a folder and a subfolder or a drive. After clicking on New and then Catalog you select a drive or a directory and enter an appropriate medium name. Once the medium has been read, the complete folder and file structure is displayed with the medium name or the catalog name. This is called a 'Physical View'. Use the right mouse button to click on a folder in the left column. With 'Add To Virtual Folder' you are able to copy it into the virtual view. Before doing so, however, you must have created at least one catalog for this view (Edit - New Virtual Root Folder). In 'Virtual View' you may archive folders of diverse catalogs. The search module scans virtual or physical databanks. The program is able to search for a certain text in the beginning of or within a file name. Also, the text could correspond with the complete file name. Additionally or on its own, file types can be used as search filters.

WinMerge 2.12.4.0
1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Point 0 Points 

Shows Differences between Files Based on Text

WinMerge compares two files that are based on text or two folders and shows their differences. Please, open one file or folder in each of both working surfaces. The comparison will start immediately. Differing, coincident and new lines are highlighted by color. With the 'Copy right/left' button you adjust the contents. A multilevel undo allows you to undo accidental process steps. In addition to that, the tool also compares files in zip packages. To do so, it has to unpack those zip files, of course. For this purpose, the program needs 7-Zip Plugin (Edit - Options - Archive Support), a free unpacker. WinMerge inscribes itself into the Explorer context menu.
