RRT | Restore Disabled Windows Features

Restore and unlock disabled Windows features!

Maybe a virus has gotten into your system and disabled the Task Manager, Search, Folder Options, Hidden Files, or other features. Use RRT and enable them!

Wordweb | The Writer's Ultimate Dictionary and Thesaurus Companion

I use Wordweb Pro as my primary dictionary. It's a very convenient tool, and I mean very convenient!

Simply highlight any word from anywhere, press the shortcut keys CTRL+ALT+W (or any key you assign) and instantly, the definition will be shown. It shows the synonyms, antonyms, similar, parts of, types of, parts, and even its anagrams!

I've been using this tool for years now, and highly recommend it.

7zip | File Compression Tool

Okay, so you're used to Winzip, or WinRAR. Personally, I prefer WinRAR, but once I've tried 7zip, I switched.

It's compression is even more powerful than WinRAR, and it's free and opensource!

Well, if you're worrying about compatibility with most other users, you can always store it in RAR format or ZIP format, or better yet, in self-extracting files, 7zip supports it all. But I totally recommend their 7zip format.

Utorrent | P2P Sharing Software

Utorrent is probably the best P2P Sharing software out there. It's small, consumes very little resources, and it's very powerful!

I just explored some of it's features, such as selecting which file to download from a torrent file, and which files not to. You can also select the priority of each file, so that files you give higher priority will finish downloading first.

MagicDisc | Virtual CDrom

At first, I couldn't understand what the hell a Virtual CDrom was for. But it's really handy.

You can back up your software, games, and installer CDs on your hard disc, and run them using MagicDisc, as if they were the original CDs themselves! Yup. Pretty convenient. What if your original CD would go kaput?! Well, just back it up before that happens, and use MagicDisc to open it later.

It supports most formats such as ISO, CCD, UIF, NRG, etc. Most importantly, it's free!

CCleaner

This free tool helps keep your private and sensitive data private. Windows and Internet Explorer keeps track of some private data and stores it in your computer. This could result in a lot of space being consumed, and you might notice your PC slowing down after some time.

CCleaner removes such records, including your internet passwords and usernames, as well as the sites you visited, from the temporary files stored by browsers such as Internet Explorer.
It fixes registry problems that slow down your computer.

Visual CD

Visual CD is a free CD Catalogue system. You simply insert your CD, and the software automatically catalogues all its contents. This is particularly useful if you're dependent on storing a lot of files on a lot of CDs.

Kee Pass

I was faced with the problem of having to keep track of my username and password for various software and internet sites. Kee Pass was the solution for me.

It's a free tool that allows you to store your username and password safely, and in an organized manner.

XAMPP | Software Download and Review

XAMPP is a useful package that makes Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl installations much, much simpler! The best thing about this is that it's completely free! Some useful features include a tool that allows you to easily edit your MySQL databases (PHPMyAdmin). This tool came in really handy to me when I had to do a database presentation to a client, but unfortunately, I was experiencing some problems with installing MySQL Control Center. Darn, I hadn't prepared for that. So what I did was, I simply worked with PHPMyAdmin and everything worked well.

Though I still use MySQL Control Center for working with the database.

You can download the latest Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Solaris versions here for free: Download XAMPP FREE!
