SuperFast Shutdown - A Great Tool 0

I had previously told many ways by which you can make your shutdown more faster but today I will tell you about a wonderful software by which you can shutdown or restart your computer just within 2 seconds.Yaaa...you heard it right, it is possible with the SuperFast Shutdown

This application performs quick reboot and shutdown operations, although they already can be performed in your computer elsewhere which will be discussed in my later post. The program is nothing more than two easy-to-understand shortcut icons that are displayed on your desktop after installation. SuperFast Shutdown performs an instant restart or shutdown with a click of its corresponding icon, although it doesn't prompt the user to save open files. Install is easy, but it's packaged as a ZIP file with no help or read-me files. Though this freeware offers nothing new, any user will find it useful for quick reboot or shutdown procedures.

"Warning this is a force shut down software"

It means that it doesn't save any unsaved documents and  frequent using of this software may corrupt your harddisk

Some Antivirus may detect it as a virus but remember it is nothing more than a false detection.

Download SuperFast Shutdown [ Latest Version ]

Absolutely Free || Unlimited Lifetime Use Software 7

Buying licensed software such as anti-viruses, firewall, anti-spyware, graphic editing, network troubleshooters etc. for personal use can be costly. Anyone, specially with limited income resources and working online on his/her PC badly needs basic free software for day to day tasks.

Buying such different category licensed software, each designed for separate task, can easily cost one a total of few hundred dollars! In this post, I am going to let you know some free resources where you can get no cost licensed software for unlimited personal usage – no trials, no demo and no shareware – where the software stops working after sometime and then you have to pay. Am I joking? On one hand, I am telling you that the software cost a lot and then I am writing that there are free alternatives to these costly software. No! I am not joking but I am not claiming that these free personal licensed software will do everything that paid software will do. But, yet you can manage to do most of the things compared to the paid software. It’s also better to have some free software that does most of the needed stuff rather than not having any at all. Right?

The sites that I am telling here gives you free software in different categories for personal usage are based on the concept of open source software. These software are built under General Public License (GPL) and do not cost a cent to you. How do Open Source Software companies make money is a different topic but it’s clear that no one does anything for free. Some open source developers charge money for giving support for their software, some make money through advertising, donations and so on.

But, if you need software for basic day-to-day use for doing various tasks on computer, and don’t have complicated needs, then open source software is definitely right for you.

You can easily get open source programs for anti-viruses, anti-spyware, graphic editors, browsers, firewall, audio recording, video recording, CD and DVD burning, network monitoring, network packet analyzing, remote desktop controlling, word processing, designing spreadsheets, making presentations, Content Management System (CMS), accounting software and many more for free! Also, these software are clean and do not have any hidden trojans, viruses, adware etc., so can download without any fear. It won’t hurt if scan them with your anti-viruses scanning software etc. before installing them 

The two sites (there are many though) where you can download absolutely free, no trials, no demo, open source software for life time usage are:

http://www.osalt.com/

http://www.sourceforge.net

You can also do google search for the keyword “open source and category of software” , example “open source photo editor” to get the links for no cost photo editor for your personal usage. One such example of open source photo editor is GIMP, full form GNU Image Manipulation Program.

You can also install open source software at different computers and can distribute it for free to others, Great! Isn’t it?

Hope that this post of mine gives you tips for saving money that you could otherwise have spent on buying paid software. If you have basic software needs, go for open source software, it’s Free! I have used some of these open source software for my basic, no complicated needs on my PC and found them extremely useful.

Did you find this post of any benefit? And, are these open source software of any use Or is it just all hype? What do you say?

Trick To Bypass Trial Version Limitations In Any Software 0

Have you ever downloaded any trial version software and it may have expired before you could have tested it for its full capabilties.In this trick I will explain to how you can use the trial version of any software over and again so that you can test the software properly before purchasing its full version.Basically there are two type of restrictions put by the software companies on trial version of softwares.

1.Disable some features of the software

2.Time Bound limitations like 5-days Trial version

This trick can extend only  your time bound limitations hence provide you with the capability to use the trial version of the software for as long as you want.
Another big advantage of this trick is that it will increase your system security.For this trick we will be using a freeware software called sandboxie which very small(500 kb).It would protect your computer from malware andspywares to make changes to your system. Sandboxie runs the softwares in an isolated enviroment so that they cannot make permanent changes to your system.Here is the graphical representation of the programs running with sandboxie in memory.



Now,here is the step by step tutorial with screenshots on Trick To Bypass Trial Version Limitations In Any Software

1. Goto http://www.sandboxie.com and download the software.
2. Install and run it.
3. Click on the Sandbox -> DefaultBox –> Run SandBoxed and then click on Run Any Program

4. Now a new window will popup.Click on Browse

5. Locate the setup of the trial software you want to install.Click on open

6. Install the software and run it.You will see # in the software tittle bar.It indicates that the software is running under sandboxie.

7. You will get the trial of the software and the trial version will expire after the time bound limitation is over.
8. To reuse the software again after the trial version is over click on Click Sandbox –>DefaultBox andclick Delete Contents.

(Note onot let the software expire.Do these steps before atleast 1-day of the trial software is left.otherwise the above trick may not work )

1. This will open up a new window and delete all the files created, Press the Delete Sandbox button to fully clear the contents.

Now reinstall the software as mentioned above and you will again get the full trial version.
Note:
1.This trick will not work if you have already used the full trial version of the software without sandboxie.

2.Sandboxie may crash if you run very large programs with it

Warning:This tutorial is only for educational purpose and do buy the softwares to get the full capablities of the software.

Visual Subst - Virtual Drives In Effect 0

Visual Subst is a small tool that allows you to associate the most accessed directories with virtual drives. It uses the same API similar to the console 'subst' utility, but makes it easier to create and remove virtual drives in a GUI way.
Personally, I use virtual drives everywhere – I always prefer to press ALT+F1 in the file manager and switch to a project directory where hundreds of various files are kept. Using virtual drives, these files can be quickly accessed at any time.

For Programmers

If you have the Platform SDK installed and need to use it frequently, it is possible to create a virtual drive mounted on the Samples directory. You can therefore reduce a long path like 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow' to just one letter.
In my opinion, this is the shortest way to gain access to the sample source code from the SDK when it is required on a continual basis.

How It Works

Generally, a virtual drive is just a symbolic link in the Local MS-DOS Device namespace. It is just one more Windows feature added for backward compatibility with old programs.
Virtual drives are therefore objects of the operating system, and Visual Subst can create, enumerate and delete these objects. All local MS-DOS device names are removed when the user is logging off. To handle this issue, Visual Subst saves the list of virtual drives into an INI-file and is able to load them the next time.
This program runs only on Windows 2000/XP and newer operating systems.

Download

Visual Subst does not require installation. It is fully portable because all settings are stored into an INI-file. However there is a simple installer provided which will help you to create some program shortcuts.
Please choose a package you would like to download:

• Visual Subst v1.0.6 binaries (78 KB)
• Visual Subst v1.0.6 installer (112 KB)
