Comprehensive App To Manage All Aspects Of A Dual Monitor Setup. Even though Windows allows you to connect and use more than one monitor at a time with your system, there are no extended options for controlling the dual monitor setup; for instance, applying a different wallpaper on each, changing the primary monitor through a shortcut, mouse cursor wrapping, switching applications between monitors, launch applications on a specified monitor etc. If you want to switch between primary monitors, you have to open the Personalization dialog box and go to the Adjust Resolution option to make the selected monitor your main display. To save you from all that trouble, some days ago we covered a tip on how to quickly change the primary monitor using a hotkey. However, a shortcut to change the primary monitor lets you control just one aspect of a dual monitor setup. The program is available in both free and paid variants; however, after installation, users can enjoy the full features offered by Actual Multiple Monitors for 30 days.

A few caveats, though, that I've found in my personal experiences (of course, these ARE just my personal experiences, your mileage may vary).
I've done a lot of air travel this summer, and I have been in a total of ONE airport that had free wi-fi. Everything else was pay-for-access. And the free one was slow as all hell. I couldn't even browse the internet comfortably. Al, as awesome as the iPhone tethering hack is, know that it breaks visual voicemail (though once you remove the hack, visual voicemail goes back to normal). Also, I've tried apps like WifiTrak on my iPod touch, and to be honest, it's never helped me at all. Top 10 Ways to Get Free Wi-Fi Anywhere You Go. Unroll.me - Welcome to a cleaner inbox.

Compare Two Folders For Matching Data Even With Similar File Names. A lot of times, it happens that when you copy a lot of new information and place it along with items that you have saved in the past, multiple copies of the same item are created; one from the old collection, and a replica from the new one. Thus, this creates a lot of confusion, because sometimes, it might be that the name of two files may be the same, but their content can be different from one another and merely deciding to delete the “duplicate” file on the basis of the file name alone may result in loss of important data.
Likewise, the two files maybe sharing a different name but the content is same. So, what would you do in this case? Open all the files with similar names one by one and manually check if the content is different or similar? Don’t be a noob! The application provides you with a simple and user-friendly interface to compare two folders. Choose Selection from the bottom to specify the type of files to include or exclude from the comparison process. Advertisement.

CSV Reader: Portable Application For Reading & Sorting CSV Files. The CSV or Comma Separate Value file extension are files containing numbers and text in plain-text form. A CSV file is used to store any number of records in the form of lists, separated by lines in a form of table with each line consisting of several fields.
Usually, every record includes the same sequence of fields. Most of the applications used to create records, such as Microsoft Excel, allow you to save the document as a CSV file as well, which allows users to open the same file in multiple programs without having to change the format. However, an application like Microsoft Excel is pretty heavy on system resources, not to mention costly, and using it just to view a simple table would consume a lot of memory. If you’re looking for a simple application to just view CSV files, give CSV Reader, a portable application for Windows, a try.
