- XP Tools 7.76, Rule Over Your Windows! — When you’re trying to enchance and control your Windows, you have many options and utilities. The two most common extremes are «one utility for each single function» and «a suite for all service tasks». XP Tools software follows the second approach, and I should say it does the best in the logical organization and effective control. Let’s take a short guide through XP Tools and its usage patterns. The program…
- Mines XP — There are games that were once created to stay for long. They do not demonstrate mind-numbing graphics, feature amazing soundtracks and cutting-edge in-game technologies that modern entertainment titles have to offer. On the contrary, they are simple, compact, have a rather straightforward «storyline» and are primarily intended for testing your skills and entertaining you during short breaks in your mundane activities. These are casual games, which have…
- Lode Runner, Back to ZX Games — If your teen age happened to fall in the era of ZX Spectrum, you’ll recall it with nostalgic tears. (That time is finally back!) If during your school age you spent time at a PC-compatible box, you’ll love it the moment you give it a try. Violence-free, suitable for all ages, action games that suck you in the play atmosphere. The idea is plain enough, and that makes the game really playful. With…
- adScreenStudio - a flexible 3D marquee for public ad displays that takes seconds to create — Creating an attractive shop display is a task that requires creativity, technical skills and a good deal of time, which you may not have while managing various aspects of your business. No matter what you are selling — apparel or computer monitors — a dynamically changing information display is an extra detail that attracts customers and makes them feel more comfortable in your store. If you are low…
- File Security Manager - full control over file and folder access permissions (even in Windows XP Home) — Being an overall excellent operating system, Windows XP does have some versions that limit user’s control capabilities to a bare minimum. For instance, Windows XP Home offers a great set of multimedia and general features, but lacks the degree of flexibility that many advanced users would definitely appreciate. For instance, the Home version will not allow you to set file and folder access right, which is a common method…
- Magic Lens Max - a whole new perspective on your computer display — Regardless of how advanced today’s computer monitors are, what we see on our screens largely depends on the quality of the images we use and the discernibility of the smallest details. Unfortunately, this often becomes the biggest problem, especially when you need to find something in the darkest and most distant corner of the image. Generally, you can solve this problem by using specialized photo editing software, such…
- Local Account Manager - comprehensive access rights management in Windows XP Home — Windows XP Home is a great operating system that offers everything necessary for a typical home computer for a price any household can afford. However, it lacks some of the more advanced features found in the Professional edition — and the ability to manage users’ access rights and permissions tops this «wanted» list. If you would like to stay with the Home edition and yet be able to efficiently manage…
- AlphaXP - all you need to have full control over transparency in Windows XP — Transparency is one of the coolest features that Windows Vista can boast. It creates the eye-candy effect that so many users expect to see in a next-gen OS, but, unfortunately, does not have much practical value. Although you can see through window elements, the underlying objects are blurred and the content of the window is not transparent at all — so, for instance, you cannot fill out a form by simply looking…
- Blank Page Remover: Save Time, Save Paper — Operating a copy machine doesn’t take much — even a child can cope with that «phenomenon of technology»: tuck in the cartridge with blank paper in the container, stack up the paper queue on the cover, hit the green «Copy» button and stay near-by back, sipping fresh hot coffee and talking about stuff. But that peace shatters as soon as the originals turn into a mixed sequence of single and…
