I’m always worried about how my computer is running after updating the graphics driver, or after a Windows Update has landed. The best way to put this doubt to rest, is to run intensive tasks, by that I mean having many programs open in the background, or a resource intensive game. But if you want […]
I switch to a different folder view in Explorer, depending on the directory’s contents. But my favorite one is the Details view, because it is the one which gives me the most important data about the files. You may have used Explorer’s options, to set a specific view as the default one for all folders […]
I reviewed Buttercup nearly 2 years ago, and was impressed with the simplicity of the program. Version 2.0 of the password manager has dropped this week, and it changes things quite a bit. The desktop application’s interface has been revamped, and is similar to the browser extension. For starters, the default theme is no longer […]

The mini toolbar (floating panel) made it easy to toggle the sticky behavior in any window. The application was updated to version 5.0 recently. Let’s find out what’s new in it. WindowTop has been rewritten completely, it’s […]

Windows can’t do it, it’ll annoy you with forced restart after updates, but you can’t set a timer to execute shutdown or restart the system. Well, you can do all these with the help of third-party programs like Shutdown Timer Classic. The open source […]
OpenShell (formerly Classic Shell) is my favorite Start Menu replacement, I use it with the Fluent Metro theme. Not everyone wants a fancy looking thing, sometimes it’s better to just have something that works. SystemTrayMenu is a free start menu program that focuses on simplicity. It’s not like your regular menu though, you’ll need to […]
What’s your preferred desktop search engine program? The answer is likely Everything, by Void Tools. I agree with you, it is a fantastic application. GrepWin is an open source program that specializes in finding text in documents; it supports advanced regular expression filters, and you may want to give it a try for that purpose. […]
Everyone has a favorite download manager. IDM has been my go-to choice for nearly a decade. But as an enthusiast, I test new ones from time-to-time. Motrix has been on my radar for a while, I gave it a fair shot. The program is cross-platform and open-source. Motrix has a dual-pane GUI and a sidebar, […]
