A Really Small App
 


It's a small program that displays Running Tasks, Number of Current Startups, IP address, Uptime, as well as graphs for CPU and Memory utilization.
It can also tell you if network computers are connected to your PC. The program can run in the system tray and hovering the mouse over the tray icon
provides you with a quick summary of the tracked information.

When you hover your mouse over the systray icon, this is what you see:

A right click on the icon reveals the following: This program is totally free but there is a little advertisement
for what this company sells. ( Only fair considering that we aren't forced to buy it. :) )

   

For more information or to download the program, please go HERE.

That's handy Bob.

DON - what's the chance of moving this thread into Tips 'n Tricks? There's some good stuff appearing and it would be shame to lose it in General Chat.

Assuming Bob doesn't mind???

Why should I mind? If that means more people will get some benefit out of it, then by all means, move it over. :-P

My New CMD Prompt Window
start > run > type--> cmd > Hit Enter



How many of you use the CMD prompt window in Win XP or 2000?
A recent article in Lockergnome prompted me to change that ugly black window
with the white letters.

Clicking on the top left corner of the CMD Window reveals the following menu:


When you select Properties, you'll be presented with the following selections:



By adjusting the color scheme in the last window, you can drastically change the way the little or large CMD Prompt window looks.

When all the adjustments have been made to your satisfaction, click on OK

and decide if this change effects only the current session or you want to make it more permanent.

I never knew about that one Bob - although I'm quite happy with the little black box, reminds of  the good old days with DOS.

I recently scrapped my Lockergnome suscription because I felt they'd changed the look and feel of it too much. It became a pain having to go off to so many pages just to read the content. Shame really, they were far better in the early days.

I have to agree with you but I guess they had to keep up with all the new technology and that involved making all the changes.

Two FREE media players worth checking out!

Some of Evil Player's key features include Shoutcast, Icecast and Icecast2 support,
low memory footprint and native support for several popular formats (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, AIFF and MOD).

2. Mercury Audio Player is a powerful media player for the Windows operating system.
Mercury will run on Windows 98 or later, and weighs in at the small size of 1935 KB for the MSI installation download.

ShellExtension Graphics Conversion Tool


Conversions can be made between all of the following formats:


A right click on any of the supported formats brings up the following in the context menu:


You can download the program directly from HERE


I consider this a worthwhile addition to the context menu especially if you do a lot of things involving graphics.  :icon_chef:  
Enjoy.

Sure Delete v5.1.1


Sometimes "delete" means "kinda sorta delete."
When you drag a file to the Recycle Bin, you only move it to a new location.
Even when you empty the bin, your files are still retrievable by Undelete utilities.
Sure Delete permanently deletes that data from your drive.
Whether you want to shred sensitive information or free up resources on your hard drive,
this program ensures that it's done permanently. Sure Delete supports the FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS disk formats.
A download from PCWorld is available from HERE

Thanks Bob, I've already got it, but anyone who hasn't should.

Sorry, I don't have a clue and haven't been able to find an answer in any of the discription available for the software.

I should have used the words 'wipe standard' instead of 'algorithm' really.
