subfolder -
create new file folders faster |
This utility has been helping people
since the Windows 95 days. It reduces the number of mouse clicks it
takes to make folders on hard drives.

SubFolders allows you to create a subfolder within another folder by
right-clicking the parent folder and selecting SubFolder. This
method has several advantages: It is quicker than the usual
File->New->Folder - The program is faster than Windows95's
built-in method - If you have a selection of files you won't lose
the selection when you create the folder. You can select your files
then create a new directory for them then move them
there. |
 Free SpyScanner 8.0.5 - is rogue
anti-spyware? |
Sometimes I just have to check things
out for myself. Even though I saw that this program's parent program
was listed in SpywareWarrior's list of "Rogue Anti-Spyware" I
figured I'd try it out. The parent program (pro version) is Spyware
Cleaner. The website offers this one as a free version that will not
be able to get updates. To test this program I went through the
following procedure. First I scanned my system with current,
updated versions of Adaware and Spybot. I fixed a few very
minor problems that these flagged, then I installed this program
using Total Uninstall (just in case of problems). I ran SpyScanner
and it flagged 5 files, 4 folders and 1 registry entry that it said
were spyware. I carefully checked the items and discovered that
these were all "false positives". I had placed a keylogger on my
system and Adaware flagged it. Spyware Scanner never saw it. My
conclusion is that SpywareWarrior's warning is absolutely on the
money. In my opinion SpyScanner is crap.

 StripMail -
remove forwarding marks >>>>> |
|
Great utility for email. Fast, small,
and no installation needed. Just double click it and you're off and
running.
StripMail is a FREEWARE utility
that: Strips the characters ">" and "|" from forwarded
e-mails. Formats the text into paragraphs, making it easier to
read. Changes the text's right margin, by indenting. Can
be used with any e-mail client. |
 Qwik-Fix Pro -
protection before infection (is no longer free, now is called preEmpt 2.0) |
This is one of the most effective
protection systems I've seen yet. It sits in the system tray running
as soon as your PC boots. It goes out and occasionally gets updates
and applies "fixes" to your PC in order to prevent attacks. However,
it is register-ware and it's only available for free until the end
of October. So, if you want to try it, you better do it now.

HTML Quick Edit
Bar - easiest web editing around |
Are you a beginner at editing web pages?
If so, this may be your ticket to fly. The people at Microsoft have
included a basic web editor built right into Internet Explorer (IE).
Not many of us have ever seen it or knowingly used it because
enabling it in IE requires a registry hack. The author of this
freeware toolbar has taken this and built around it to make it
easy to use for all. After installing this toolbar, you'll
have a nice little toolbar in IE that you can click on to edit
any web page and save it to your hard drive or ftp to your web host.
If you want to start with a blank slate, just open up notepad and
save an empty text file to your desktop as an html file (file
extension of .htm or .html). Next open up the file with IE then pick
the Shatran HTML Quick Edit button and you can create new web pages.
You can insert images by right clicking in an empty area and
choosing "Insert Image". You can create text hyperlinks by
highlighting text and right clicking on it and choosing "Edit
Hyperlink". You can create picture hyperlinks by highlighting an
image and right clicking just to the left or right of the image and
choosing "Edit Hyperlink". To save it just choose "File" > "Save"
or "File" > "Save As" from IE's file menu. Saving a page off the
internet is tricky and I'm not sure I've got the hang of it yet. It
might be better to save an internet web page before you click
on HTML Quick Edit, then edit the html file that you saved. The only
real things I miss in this editor are font control and table
creation tools.

HTML Quick Edit Bar - is a freeware toolbar for Microsoft Internet
Explorer that enables to put the browser into a mode where you can
edit the current HTML page. Once edited, you can upload the modified
page to your web-site via FTP. HTML Quick Edit Bar can be useful for
anyone who uses Microsoft Internet Explorer, as it allows to modify
HTML documents "on fly" when
browsing. |
Tips
Microsoft JPG
vulnerability flaw |
|
Don't get caught looking. We've been
warned for a few weeks now that XP should be patched to fix this
flaw. Just looking a specially picture can allow hackers to infect
your PC. Now it's not only XP that needs patched, if you use any one
of many programs that use .NET or other Microsoft software you could
be caught as well. There's a simple test below.
If you are running an earlier version
of Windows and if you have certain versions of Greetings, Picture
It!, or Digital Image Pro installed, you may need to install
additional updates. The GDI+ Detection Tool checks your computer for
affected versions, then returns a list of links to the download
locations of any updates you need.

registry entry, this may be your first stop for
information.

To get to
know me is easy, it is never about what you look like?, what you
earn?, where you live?, what you have?, what your status is?. I want
to know who you are when life throws you an obstacle, and what you
believe in when faith is nowhere to be found. I want to be your
secret diary, your innermost sanctum, the one you go to, when you
need to feel whole. You will know what lies in my heart only when I
can see what lies in the center of your soul. I am still finding my
path, my destiny, have you found
yours? | |
