- Captain Tray Pro 5.1, Undoubtedly Useful. — Personally I use it. I like to have my things well arranged and each in the right place. This software allows me to organize windows on my desktop. It looks like my favorite two-panel file-managers, Total Commander and Frigate. In fact, moving a window from the taskbar to a tray and vice versa is as simple as moving a file between panels. Of course, any application can be moved…
- Weather Alarm Clock 1.2. Whatever-In-Tray — The Windows «system notifications area», a.k.a. «system tray», was eventually designed to be a uniform place for helpful information. However, in fact, it’s not very useful now; only a couple of colorful icons not related to the system make it look pretty. There is only one really useful thing in the tray; namely, the clock, you know. But can you twist any use from the tray clock besides just showing clock…
- Fast Link Checker 1.5, Well-Linked Site — Fast Link Checker addresses the problem of checking links between files and pages on a website of any size and complexity. It works just like a «web-crawler»: starts from an arbitrary page and goes through all links until all links within your site are analyzed; then, Fast Link Checker provides you with a detailed report on links that are broken, their location, and the specific error that occurred when the link was analyzed. The report…

- Web Form Anti-Spam 1.00, Don't Let 'em Any Chance! — Spam and other automated and unwanted messages are a pain. The most painful aspect of the problem is that there is no 100% reliable method to fight the spam completely. But the progress is moving on, and today there are some hope-giving approaches; one of them is «do not let spammers know your contacts». But, if spammers can’t know them, how can others contact you? The trick is: professional spammers…
- DupKiller 0.8.2, Anti-Duplicates Missile! — On the huge ordnance yard of modern hundred-Gb disks and hundred-Mbit broadband Internet there are so many files stored you can’t even count them (like you can’t count stars in the sky). Not all of them are useful; and even useful ones are typically repeatedly stored here and there, today and yesterday, so, finally, you have your «disk ordnance yard» filled up with thousand of unnecessary repetitions of the same…
- Evidence Killer 2005, Own Your Own Computer — As a computer user, you have certain assets that you normally want control in full. The assets include not only your data (although it is your main asset), but also the resources like disk space, CPU time, and so on; your time is also a valuable resource, and it can be «stolen» by unwanted messages and poor computer performance. So, if you need a full suite for controlling not only the safety of your data…
- RIT 1.6, Check the Intelligence — Typical software or paper-based «intelligence tests» are a one-time thing; once you’ve run through a test, the next run will show incorrect results. Moreover, once you’ve run through one of intelligence tests, other similar ones will also become «inappropriate» for you. That’s because of the usual approach to intelligence testing: a set of static constant puzzles and questions — you see them…
- Total Game Control, The Helping Edge — Is it even appropriate to compare the feeling of playing a dynamic action game with the keyboard and the feeling of playing the same game with an intuitive control device — like a steering wheel for racing or a joystick for an action game? When you have no time to think of your next move and have to take an action now, often by the intuition, do you have time for looking for the right shortcut…
