VistaSwitcher is an elegant and powerful task management utility for Windows OS. Once installed, it replaces the default Windows Alt-Tab dialog with a nice box that shows a list of all running tasks, with their names and preview snapshots, and enables the user to take actions on them using the mouse and keyboard shortcuts. With just one click, you can switch tasks, minimize, maximize, restore the main window, or close the process. Statistics show that an average user switches between applications with Alt-Tab hundreds of times per day! It is one of the most common actions performed on a computer. More surprisingly, it seems that this common task is completely unappealing and inconvenient in its default realization. Find the Right Window Faster The main advantage of VistaSwitcher is a brand new Alt-Tab switching window.

Conveniently, you don’t have to press the Alt-Tab repeatedly to finally select the required application. Also, you can switch between open windows with only the mouse. Online QR Code Decoder.

How To Open Winmail.dat Attachments. If you are not using Microsoft Outlook as your mail email client on your computer system, you may have noticed that you sometimes receive winmail.dat attachments sent by Outlook clients to your email software that you can't open on your system. Outlook users can sent so called Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format information with their emails, that contain email formatting instructions, so that the email on the recipients computer looks like the one on the senders PC. Outlook unfortunately is one of the few desktop email clients supporting this format, with email clients not supporting the format displaying a winmail.dat attachment instead. The core issue here is that these winmail.dat files may include attachments and email formatting instructions.

If they only include the formatting instructions, they can easily be ignored. If the file size is larger, they may contain both formatting instructions and file attachments.

StreamWriter is without doubt one of the most comfortable Internet radio recorders for the Windows operating system. It comes with a database of radio streams that are searchable directly in the interface. Here you can key in a genre for instance to get a list of matching results. The software can filter radio stations by genre, quality or type in addition to that. You then have the option to start listening to select radio stations right away, for instance to assess the quality of the stream, or to start recording as many as your computer and Internet connection is capable of handling. The developers of the free application have just released StreamWriter 4.0 which improves the functionality of the Internet radio recorder significantly.

A new tag editor has been integrated to edit tags of the downloaded file right in the streamWriter interface. Check out our previous StreamWriter review here for a detailed feature-overview. FreeRecover Is An Open Source Data Recovery Software. Files that get deleted in the Windows operating system are not deleted right away, as they are first moved to the operating system's recycle bin. You can configure the recycle bin to be bypassed automatically, or by holding down the Shift-key before you start the deletion. But files are even then not deleted right away.

They basically remain on the hard drive, so that they can be theoretically be recovered. The success of a data recovery operation depends on a number of factors, but especially the time between the deletion and recovery attempt. Once a file has been deleted on the system, its storage space on the hard drive can be used to store new data. This obviously would overwrite part or all of the deleted file on the hard drive, so that it may only be recovered partially or not at all.

We have covered many file recovery programs in the past here on Ghacks. FreeRecover is an Open Source data recovery application for the Windows operating system. FilExile Lets You Delete Files That Refuse To Be Removed. If you are a Windows user you probably came upon quite a few files in the past that you wanted to delete but could not.

There are lots of reasons why you may not be able to delete a file in the operating system; from in-use files locked by a process that is still running, to too long paths or cryptic characters of languages that you cannot even identify properly. Tools like Unlocker, IOBit Unlocker or Free File Unlocker aid users when files cannot be removed with a tap on the delete key on the keyword. FilExile is another program for that task. The program does not add itself to the context menu in Windows Explorer, which some users may seem as a disadvantage. Everything is handled in the main program interface. Here you select a single file or directory that you want to remove from the system.

A quick test revealed that it was able to delete files that were locked by another process. Accessibility is a big issue that the developers should consider improving in future versions.
