- 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…
- Active Desktop 1.043, No More Desktop — Do you really love that boring Windows «desktop» concept? I personally don?t. Even if I could believe there were desktops in size of a stool, I still wouldn?t believe that a handful of icons are the only things I could place on my desktop. I want some more of dynamics, I want some more of information, and I want some more of beauty, after all! If you feel yourself the same way…
- 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…
- Desktop Icon Toy 2.4, Make It More Exciting — |Windows desktop concept is really toooooo old and soooo boring!

- Actual Window Manager 4.5, Take More Than The Best Of Your Windows — Despite some evident drawbacks, Windows has the right concept of «Windows» (ha-ha). This concept is proven to be very effective for organizing several «primary» tasks (that you work with) alongside with many «secondary» ones (which you just observe or rarely switch to or consult with). But, the more intensively you work, the stronger you feel that Windows’ current window-organizing capabilities are far not enough for…
- Startup Master 1.4, Letting Them Start? — There are applications that you use every day, and you start them when you need them. There are other applications, which you’d want to start with Windows (autostart) and let them run for as long as you keep using the computer; those are utility ones. And, certainly, there are applications that you DON’T want to start automatically; nevertheless, they just do it regardless to your opinion. You’d like to control that…
- NAntBuilder 1.1, Handy Cover for Handy Tool — The make tool was cool. But this «was» is twenty years old. Today’s programmers don’t cherish the old make not because they are dumb, but because they live in the new time with a new mind and new habits. Today’s build and automation tools are XML-based, because XML is universal. .Net environments and .Net programmers are in love with free and open-source NAnt tool. But, as modern developers, we want not only…
- Actual Window Guard 4.5, Brings Order To Desktop Windows — Typical today’s desktop is full of windows opened simultaneously. Unfortunately, the level of control over those windows is the Stone Age level: you can either maximize window to take the full area, or you should drag in, drag in, drag in them by hands, if you want to work with more of them one-window-at-a-time. Sad situation, but, for your today’s lack, I know the solution: Actual Window Guard. The…
- Intellexer Summarizer, Stay Focused! — «Readers are leaders», — they say. However if you keep reading for hours, you can just get overloaded with information and «lose the sight of the forest in the midst of the trees». It would be nice to have just brief summaries of the humongous texts you are to go through and get the clear picture of what’s in there and whether or not you need it for your work. Believe…
