Latest User Reviews

XYplorer is a fantastic file explorer on steroids. However, for at least 10 years, the 'updatesimprovements' have only affected about 110 of 1 of users, yet the author refuses to simply 'end of life it' and find another application to work on. I'm using V14.80.0200 from over 10 years ago. It's megabytes smaller than today's latest versions and still does more than what 99.9999 of people use a file explorer for.

I had terrible eye strain from my pc monitor. Adjusting the settings got old and bothersome changing them daily and nightly. This app saved me time, and my eyes. thanks for this!

R-Wipe&Clean is much easier to configure than BleachBit (then again, what doesn't?), but it's overpriced and unstable. One time, I configured it to delete a single log file under "C:Program Files (x86)", and it deleted every directory under "C:Program Files (x86)" up to and including the one with the targeted log file. Obviously, this is a bug, and a very nasty one. I was able to restore from a system image. R-Wipe&Clean support ignored me.

This is probably one of the best Look-in-File search utilties out there. I used it to scan MS-Word documents for a particular word-phrase and it was able to find all references across multiple directories. The interface is easy to maneuver and move from one referenced file to the next while it is displaying the text area with the search phrase that I entered. Its a pretty sweet tool if you need this kind of power.

Nirsoft tools are amazing tools and this one is no different. It quickly allows you to see what website, program connections are going out of your machine. With this information, you can choose to block or due more tracking on the IP traffic for forensic purposes or if you just want to know what is talking to servers on the Internet. The interface is the same on all tools, so when you use one you will be comfortable with any other that you may use.

My requirement to print text files to PDF was met perfectly with Doro PDF Writer. It's a small download, it does not (like at least one alternative) require you to download and install multiple modules to make it work. There are no ads or nag screens. It may not have the configuration options of some of the competition, but it does the PDF print conversion very well.

Great browser in many ways but it sets itself as Default browser, and auto-runs on pc startup. At least it did several months ago before I immediately uninstalled it. If you can live with those hubristic annoyances it's worth a try.

I've been using Desktop Reminder for years now. Does everything I need to be reminded of important dates and things to do. I am using Version 2.0 - turned off updates because this Free version is fine. Has been very handy for many years now!

I tried other FOSS accounting programs and I'm really liking HomeBank. The first thing was to configure a Checking account from the previous month and it was pretty easy. Other softwares did not allow me to enter in month old transactions without a lot of hassel or not at all. You can create your own categories in addition to what is provided. The interface is easy to use and is well laid out. It has bar, circle, and time charts. I check the accounting values with my statements and the math was exact. Even performing a transfer from Saving to Checking check out. This is the most important for any accounting program! Everything else is a bonus. So, I'm pretty happy with HomeBank!

This is a great SQL utility and has been around a long time. It has all the functionality and supports all the latest databases; MariaDB, MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Interbase and Firebird. If you a user of any of these databases then this program can assist in the creation or modification of any SQL database. I've have been using HeidiSQL for years and has proven to be my go to program which is reliable, is being kept up-to-date by the author.

I used to use another program that would follow TV shows for me, but the author abandoned it so I tried DuckieTV. If you want to use Duckie I HIGHLY recommend you set up the optional Track.TV integration. This is where Duckie gets its data from. Log in to Track TV and create a watch list of your favorite shows, and then follow the instructions in DuckieTV to link to Track TV. This makes sure you get the most accurate updates to the Duckie Calendar. A bit of work, but well worth it. Duckie also allows you to create a backup database that can be installed in another copy of DuckieTV on a different computer if you need it for another TV location, or are setting up a new PC. Make sure you set the background images to be a little dark so that you can read the calendar. A little learning curve for all the settings, but well worth it in the end.

Just a note that the is a newer version of this program on their main site 4.0.1.5 (08.02.24). If you have devices on your network that you want to know if they go down or their unable this program is a way to get updates instead of guessing. You have clear indicators if that device (i.e. NAS) is not able to be pinged. The Network Indicator is RED and you can assign Sounds or Show a message. The Pro version is better for business but their free version is great and easy to configure for anyone to use. Enjoy!

Nirsoft's NetworkOpenedFiles is another great tool to help track network related issues and potential bad guys moving files across the network. You can change where files are looked at either from your computer or from the network by pressing F9 for Advanced Options. Pretty awesome!

EditPad Lite is an editor whose main purpose is to replace Windows Notepad, and it does that very well, adding a few extra features. It is free for personal use. If you expect more than that, you are in the wrong place.

If you prefer WinXP-style cascading menus, this is the program for you... It has many skins available, almost endless configuration options, and still works beautifully, even in Win11 ...

I have a fast pc but yowza does this gobble everything up. if you give it a try just know you will have to restart your computer after installing. i gave it high marks simply because i know of no other android emulator out there right now and they asked for feedback of why you decided to un-install it.

Free version still restricts user to 5 rules. I'm sooooo glad I hung onto a copy of V5.60, which was still free, and fully functional.

I'm using Windows 11 in 2024 and this software is still amazing! I've never tried it before, but I needed something and almost bought a program. This one is free. I almost didn't try it since the last reviews were in 2011. Since it works great, I thought I'd leave a review in case anyone else was leery about trying it.

There are other programs like IDM that are good. However, I chose to buy IDM because it is a complete download manager, with several features, configuration options, an easy-to-understand interface, it works efficiently, the support works, and the price is fair.

First of all, downloading/updating was a nightmare. I've tried 3-4 times. And when the program started, there is no FREE option to record the sound from the screen, only from mic. Sorry... but... uninstall!

There is an option to choose the percentage or size of the file that you want to resize. And that's it. You can't choose other options.

I wanted to trim off the front of a video. I set up the trim marks, then the app would automatically switch and trim the end of the video. I repeated the steps many time. 100 failure. I then shut down, tried over and tried starting from the last first so not repeating same problems. I attempted to trim, the lines jumped and again cut of the wrong end. I gave up. I jumped online, searched trim video. Found one that looked appropriate. I loaded video, set trim lines, clicked save. Took 10 SECONDS. I spent over 1.5 HOURS FUSSING with LOSSLESSCUT. The program is TERRIBLE, does not have intuitive settings, has a mind of its own, and long learning curve for what it does do. Repeating, I gave up. I wasted over 1.5 hours on LOSSLESSCut, and did the job in less than 30 seconds with a free online service. LOSSLESSCUT is GARBAGE and needs a redesign.

I have been using this software for well over a decade and it has been invaluable for storing information and keeping up with what needs to be done. I have been very pleased with the upgrades and the integration with Google made it even better. My two top features I use is the calendar and notes function.

I've been wanting a software that would do this for 24 years now, and I finally stumbled across this. Darkens everything but the window your working on. You can click on the taskbar and the whole screen dims with just the taskbar lighted. This program comes in real handy at night. Very little resources used. I haven't fooled with the options yet, I don't think I need to. I wouldn't know how to anyway, since it doesn't explain how to set them, or I may be stupid. Anyways I love it.
