  • ParetoLogic Privacy Controls download

     

    Now, we are reviewing ParetoLogic Privacy Controls, a free application to delete traces on your computer, including internet activity, temporary files and so on. We have not liked any of ParetoLogic other products in the past, so it is interesting to see if they have finally made something that is worth your time. The installation did not cause any problems, and it was possible to choose whether ParetoLogic Privacy Controls should automatically run at startup. The i…

  • Feel the Wheel download

     

    Feel the Wheel is an extremely simple application that makes it possible to use the mouse wheel to adjust the size and transparency of your open windows. How does it work? Just open the application and hover your cursor over the window bar and scroll up or down to change the size. The transparency can be adjusted the same way, but you just have to hold down Shift while doing it. We did experience one annoying problem in our test, but fortunately, it is just a minor…

  • Folder Menu download

     

    Folder Menu, which is free and open-source, is a folder switching utility for Windows. It promises to make the way you work easier and more efficient. There is also a 64-bit version available at the official website, but since both seemed to work on our PC, we recommend the normal version. Folder Menu comes with many features, but the main feature seems to be that you can open a pop-op menu with your favorite folders by clicking on the middle mouse button. It works…

  • GraphCalc download

     

    We have not looked at very much education software lately, so we decided to take a look at GraphCalc, which is a free and open-source calendar for Windows. While it does not provide a modern interface, since it has not been updated for years, it does come with some solid features. What sets GraphCalc apart from many similar applications is that it does not try to simulate a real calculator. Instead, the interface is split in a white field and the basic buttons you w…

    Have you forgotten where your important files are located on your PC? DocFetcher is an advanced search application for Mac and Windows, and since it is open-source, everyone can download and use it for free. We tested the Windows version. The best way to describe DocFetcher is probably just by calling it “Google for your computer”, because it really is possible to search and find just about anything with this application. You can specify the desired size…

  • Notepad Enhanced download

     

    Have you been looking for a better version of the original Windows Notepad with more features? That is exactly what this free application Notepad Enhanced aims to be. It is only available for Windows, and we tested it on a PC running Windows 7 64-bit. With its gray colors, Notepad Enhanced looks a lot like Windows Notepad, but the ability to create new tabs definitely makes it better than the original. It is also possible to make Notepad Enhanced always stay on top,…

  • PDF Merge Tool download

     

    PDF Merge Tool is a free and open-source tool for Windows that can merge your PDF files into one document. Since it is such a small file, it only takes a few seconds to get started, and the user interface is very easy to use. Just add your files, chance the order and merge them. A big drawback with PDF Merge Tool is that it will not let your chance the page order of your individual PDF files. If you need that functionality as well, then we recommend you to download…

    Here you can download Sumatra PDF, which is a free and open-source PDF reader developed for Windows. In our test, it only took a few seconds to install it on our PC running Windows 7 64-bit, and we have not experienced any problems while using it. The user interface is very simple and almost non-existent, but perhaps also a bit boring with the classic gray Windows colors. According to the developer, Sumatra does not just support PDF files, but also ebooks, comic boo…

    The ability to navigate through multiple web pages with tabbed browsing is part of every modern browser, and clearly, this is also a feature that many people would like to use in Microsoft’s file browser, Windows Explorer. QTTabBar is one of the free tools out there that makes this possible. The application does not come with an introduction for new users, and since it can do so many different things besides just tabbed browsing, such as the ability to customi…

  • VirtuaWin download

     

    One of the biggest problems with Windows is that it does not support virtual workplaces like OS X and Linux. That means you will have to manage all your applications and windows using the same desktop. However, VirtuaWin is a free and open-source application that adds this functionality to Windows. In our opinion, the user interface is too plain since it never visually displays your virtual desktops. Instead, you can view a list by clicking on the icon in the menu.…

As the name indicates, that may be used to prevent screensavers from automatically running. The tool does not need to be installed, and you can close it again with the Task Manager.

  • Clock Alert download

     

    How do you keep track of time while you are playing games or chatting online? Clock Alert is a simple application that is designed to ring every hour like a traditional clock. We did not experience any problems while testing the tool in Windows 7 64-bit, but it should run on most computers with Windows XP or newer. Clock Alert works as it should, but the big disadvantage is that it does not do much more than that. It is not possible to set custom alarms or even use…
