BumpTop

Dear BumpTop fans, More than three years ago, we set out to completely change the way people use their desktops. We're very grateful for all your support over that time — not just financially but also through all the encouraging messages from people who found BumpTop inspiring, useful, and just downright fun. Today, we have a big announcement to make: we're excited to announce that we've been acquired by Google! This means that BumpTop (for both Windows and Mac) will no longer be available for sale. http://bumptop.com/

As you know it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain a website such as this. I hope that you really appreciate my efforts and I hope that the content of my site has been saving you both time and money. Recently added/and/or/improved files are below in Yellow . I've worked hard to find, make available, and create some of the best fully functional computer utilities so you can both find them and download them very easily.

*Actually Useful* Windows Keyboard Shortcuts - including new Windows 7 tricks. : technology

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/9ljkt/actually_useful_windows_keyboard_shortcuts/ These simple shortcuts can help you to get around Windows really fast . There's both 'obvious' & obscure stuff here, so take a moment to see how you fare :) A note on Ctrl + Shift + Esc: Ctrl + Alt + Del now brings up a 'lock this computer' dialog on Vista/7, so I suggest you learn this one. Another perk is that on a VM or a remote control app, this will open the remote (client) machine's task manager. If all your apps disappear for no reason, DON'T PANIC. Move your mouse away from the bottom right corner.

http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/20-registry-hacks-to-make-your-pc-more-awesome-590803 Right-clicking on everything is a good way to learn about hidden Windows functionality. Exploring the lesser-known Control Panel applets is another useful technique, and browsing the command line applications in Windows' System32 folder can be interesting. But let's be realistic. There's nothing that quite compares to the Registry. It's packed with useful settings that can improve performance, fix security holes and change even the most fundamental Windows behaviour for the better.

99 ways to make your computer blazingly fast

Over the last several years working in IT for various companies as a Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, and Help Desk professional, I’ve written and learned about many ways to increase the performance of not only my PC, but also of the many PCs on my networks ranging from Windows 98 to Windows Vista. In this article, I hope to compile a complete list of all the different methods and tricks that I’ve used to get the last bit of juice out of a slow PC. Whether you are using an old PC or the latest and greatest in hardware, you can still use some of these to make your PC run faster. Note that since I write two blogs, Help Desk Geek and Online Tech Tips, I have previously written about many performance tips already which I will link back to throughout. If I have not written about it, I’ve throw in a link to a relevant article from some of my other favorite sites. This list is in no particular order, just written in the order that I could think of them. http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-xp-tips/99-ways-to-make-your-computer-blazingly-fast/

DiskDigger | DmitryBrant.com

The newest version of DiskDigger now contains the following features: Support for recovering MPEG videos, which also includes several other video formats that use the MPEG structure, such as .VOB (DVD video files) and .MOD (videos recorded by certain digital cameras). Unfortunately the program can't detect the size of the video, so it will ask for the amount of data to recover for each video. Improvements to this functionality will come in a future update! Remember that the above file formats are implemented when running DiskDigger in "deeper" mode.

Downloads: Fences is a Seriously Awesome Desktop Icon Organizer

http://lifehacker.com/5147316/fences-is-a-seriously-awesome-desktop-icon-organizer Windows only: Desktop icon organizer Fences arranges your cluttered desktop icons into containers so you can clean up the mess into useful groups of shortcuts—or optionally hides them altogether. Once installed, Fences will run through a couple of first-time beginner screens asking if you'd like to use one of the built-in layouts, and will attempt to auto-detect which icons should be placed inside each fence. You can modify any of the fences by simply moving or resizing them around the screen, and then use the Lock item on the desktop context menu to fix them into place when you are done. The thumbnail on the left shows my cluttered test desktop before, and the one on the right shows the default organizer layout generated by Fences—much cleaner. Right-clicking on the desktop gives you a couple of new options, including quick and easy access to the settings panel, where you can tweak the look & feel as much as you'd like.

It also presented an opportunity to write a posting about how you can outfit your computer with all the essential (and non-essential) software you need using strictly 100% freeware and/or open source titles.This posting could have been titled any of the following: I am writing this from the perspective of myself clean-installing Windows and re-installing all the software I find to be essential afterwards.
