Alternate File Shredder - Ver: 1.203

Alternate File Shredder allows you to delete files and / or folders permanently, which means they cannot be restored by recovery software. This is realised in that way, that before the file is deleted, its content will be overwritten with a random content or zero-values several times.

The result of this is, that recovery software may restore the file with its size, but the content is changed - so the file gets useless.

Maybe you already deleted some files, which you better like to be shred. Here the program offers the possibility to shred the free disk space of a drive. This is realised by writing data into the whole free disk space and delete it afterwards. This is necessary to make sure, that all existing file fragments are overwritten.

Here are some key features of "Alternate File Shredder":-

Delete files:
First you have to select the files you want to delete (shred). You can either do this by the buttons "Add" and "Add folder" or via the edit-menu. If you add a folder, its content is scanned and all contained files and sub folder-files are added to the file list. Use the "Remove" and "Clear" button if added some wrong files. Files can also be excluded from the deletion progress by removing the small hook in front of their names:

Shred free disk space:
Before using this option (which may take several hours on large disks), close all other running programs which might write towards the desired drive. Save all your open files.

The file list content is not relevant for this option. Select "Shred free space" and another window opens. Here you can select the desired drive(s). Make sure, that your USB-Sticks or disks are inserted before. If you choose "OK", the process will be started

Options:
"Random data writing" - If checked, the data of the files is overwritten with a random structure, otherwise using zero-values. A random data structure is safer to avoid successful data recovery.

"Confirm delete" - if checked, the program will ask you before a file gets deleted (recommended!). "Number of iterations" - sets the number of iterations the data is overwritten, more iterations are safer, less are faster (3 is recommended - 30 is very secure, but you still can select more iterations)· "Ignore write protection" - if selected, the write protection of files is ignored (if you want to delete a complete folder or the content of a drive, this is recommended)

ChaosPro - Ver: 4.0.249

ChaosPro is a real time freeware fractal generator for MS Windows with support for many different fractal types (2D and 3D), true colour support, animation support. Due to its integrated compiler it is quite fast even if you write your own formulas within ChaosPro.

Features:-

It is free, as is FractInt. You may download the software and copy it, install or deinstall, or simply throw it away and it will still cost you nothing! There's no $40 shareware fee, nag screens, trial usage time limitations, or registration requirements, and there's also no advertising banners, secret data transmissions, and any need for people to crack it. Chaos Pro is Freeware, just that.

It runs in a graphically based operating environment such as Win95/98/NT/2000/XP or later.

It does not monopolise the system and a fractal may be calculated whilst one is carrying out other work.

It uses multi-threading and multi-windowing. You can therefore calculate several fractals each in its own window, all at the same time. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is based on normal windows, not dialogue boxes. So you can change a window parameter and do not have to close that window whilst proceeding with the calculation. It's really sad that there are programmers who think that opening and closing a dialogue box is the only way of inputting user information.

It can calculate 24 bit images. If the display is in high colour /true colour mode, then the fractals can be drawn in high/true colour. If the display is in palette mode (8 bit), the user can choose to emulate 24 bit by dithering (although this will result in a loss of speed).

ChaosPro can create 3D views from 2D fractals. ChaosPro can create animations. ChaosPro can not only create simple zoom and pan types
of animations, but also create a 3D animation where, for example, the angle of the"incident" light might move around while the subject's colour gradually changes from red to green, and the observer 'zooms' more closely into the subject whilst the subject is changing in shape.

ChaosPro has an integrated formula editor and compiler, so you can create your own formulas. The formula compiler can read most of the FractInt (*.frm) formula files, so you can also use your existing formulas. The formula compiler can also handle UltraFractal formulas up to version 4 (including transformations and colouring).

Supported fractal types include:-

• Escape time: Almost all types based on iterating a point and checking whether it gets trapped by some orbit. This type is based on formulas (thus you can calculate almost all such fractals, but you have to write a formula first).
  
• Quaternion: Similar to Escape time, but based on - Quaternion input numbers (3D/4D)
  
• Attractor: 3D objects consisting of arbitrary points.
  
• Dynamic System (Lorenz/Roessler)
  
• Plasma
  
• IFS
  
• LSystem
  
• Layer Fractal: An artificial container into which you may put any of the other fractals as a layer. So you can compose different fractals.

The benchmark offers several options allowing the user to tweak the rendering: full screen / windowed mode, MSAA selection, window size, duration.

This benchmark requires an OpenGL 2.0 compliant graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 5/6/7/8 (and higher), AMD/ATI Radeon 9600 (and higher) or a S3 Graphics Chrome 400 series with the latest graphics drivers.

The startup interface allows you to tweak the benchmark features such as:-

• Benchmark mode or stability test mode (for overclockers)
  
• GPU temperature monitoring and recording in a file
  
• Full screen or windowed for each type of run mode
  
• Window size selection (standard or custom)

Find files quickly
OSForensics™ allows you to search for files many times faster than the search functionality in Windows.

Results can be analysed in the form of a file listing, a Thumbnail View, or a Timeline View which allows you to determine where significant file change activity has occurred.

Search within Files
If the basic file search functionality is not enough, OSForensics can also create an index of the files on a hard disk. This allows for lightning fast searches for text contained inside the documents. Powered by the technology behind Wrensoft's acclaimed Zoom Search Engine.

Search for Emails
An additional feature of being able to search within files is the ability to search email archives. The indexing process can open and read most popular email file formats(including pst) and identify the individual messages.

This allows for a fast text content search of any emails found on a system.

Recover Deleted Files
After a file has been deleted, even once removed from the recycling bin, it often still exists until another new file takes its place on the hard drive. OSForensics can track down this ghost file data and attempt to restore it back to useable state on the hard drive.

Find out what users have been up to. OSForensics can uncover the user actions performed recently on the system, including but not limited to:-

• Opened Documents
  
• Web Browsing History
  
• Connected USB Devices
  
• Connected Network Shares
  
• Find out what's inside the computer. Detailed information about the hardware a system is running on:

RAMMon - Ver: 1.0 (Build 1003)

RAMMon is an easy to use Windows based application that allows users to quickly retrieve the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data from their RAM modules.

It will allow users to identify a multitude of attributes, of which, includes the manufacturer, the clockspeed and other data of their DDR2, DDR3 memory devices and even some older memory types. It uses SysInfo DLL SDK to gather the SPD attributes from RAM devices. This information provides a snapshot of the available data for each RAM module installed on the system.

What is SPD?
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) is the standard set forth by JEDEC for a host system to retrieve attributes of memory modules. The SPD standard is intended for use on any memory module, independent of memory technology or module form factor.

RAMMon displays the values stored on RAM module such as the memory capacity, the manufacture, serial number, model part number, the CAS latencies supported and the module voltage.

Also, depending on your RAM type, other specific SPD data can be retrieved as well. Such as the module thickness, module width, maximum operating temperature and more.

Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7

SearchMyFiles - Ver: 1.82

SearchMyFiles is an alternative to the standard "Search For Files And Folders" module of Windows. It allows you to easily search files in your system by wildcard, by last modified/created/last accessed time, by file attributes, by file content (text or binary search), and by the file size. SearchMyFiles allows you to make a very accurate search that cannot be done with Windows search. For Example: You can search all files created in the last 10 minutes with size between 500 and 700 bytes.

After you made a search, you can select one or more files, and save the list into text/html/csv/xml file, or copy the list to the clipboard.

SearchMyFiles is portable, and you can use it from a USB flash drive without leaving traces in the Registry of the scanned computer.

SearchMyFiles doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - SearchMyFiles.exe

After running it, the 'Search Options' dialog-box is displayed. Select the base folders or drives that you want to search, the wildcard, and other search option that you need. After choosing the right search option, click 'Ok' in order to start the search. While in search process, the found files will be displayed in the main window. If you want to stop the search, you can simply click the 'Stop' menu.

After the search is finished, you can select one or more files, and then save the list into text/csv/html/xml file by using the 'Save Selected Items' option. You can also select a single file and open it with the default program by using the 'Open Selected File' option.

Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7

System Restore Explorer - Ver: 0.0.5 beta

System Restore Explorer is, just as its name suggests, a program which will let you take a closer look at your system restore points.

Normally these kind of system-level backups aren't too accessible to most people. You can restore an entire system point, or maybe a shadow copy or two (right-click a folder, select Properties > Previous Versions), but that's about it.

Run System Restore Explorer, though, choose a restore point and click Mount, and it'll be displayed in an Explorer window. You can then browse its files and folders just like any other drive, open and view whatever documents you encounter, even drag and drop files from the restore point window into some other folder.

And once you've finished, clicking the Unmount button will remove the virtual drive. Or you can use the Delete button to wipe a particular restore point altogether (useful in itself as Windows normally only allows you to delete all but the last restore point).

Please note, System Restore Explorer is a beta and likely to contain bugs. We wouldn't recommend you use it for any system-critical purpose unless you have a complete system backup to hand.

Minimum requirements: Windows Vista/ + 64/ 7/ +64

Ultimate Windows Customiser - Ver: 1.0.10

There are tons of applications available to customise your Windows installation, but the problem is that most are tweak specific. Hardly any offering multiple customisation options. Ultimate Windows Customiser (UWC) is the first integrated freeware that offers you almost everything that can be customised in a Windows installation – well everything that matters, at least!

Once you have downloaded Ultimate Windows Customiser, unzip the contents, open the folder and click on UWC Setup file to start the installation. The installation is simple and there are no boxes to check/uncheck. It is completely clean, and like all our other Windows freeware does not include any of the hated toolbars or accompaniments. You can see the UWC Installation Screenshots here.

It is important to note that before running Ultimate Windows Customiser, if you have tweaked your operating system either manually or by using any other software, we recommend that you reverse the changes first. This is due to the fact that upon First Run, UWC will generate backups of the Current Files and Registry Settings, to allow the user to revert back to Default. Due to the wide nature of Customisations, this is the only option to revert back to Default.

Once you are sure about this, create a System Restore Point first. Then you can go ahead and start customising to your heart’s content!

The customisation tweaks in Ultimate Windows Customiser have been classified in to the following sections:-

• Explorer
  
• Context Menus
  
• Libraries
  
• Logon Screen
  
• Start Orb
  
• Taskbar
  
• Miscellaneous
  
• Extra Settings
  
• Windows Media Player
