How to Use Text Expansion to Save Yourself Hours of Typing Every Week Launchy: The Open Source Keystroke Launcher Top 10 Uses for Linux (Even If Your Main PC Runs Windows) Ditch Hard Drive Clutter with an Organized, Automated Home Folder Just wanted to share another tool that can replace and improve upon Belvedere (since it hasn't been updated in 2 years). The program is called DropIT. Here is the description from their website: When you need to organize files, DropIt can eliminate much of the drudgery of searching and manually opening folders and moving files around. Drop a group of different files and folders on the floating DropIt image and it sorts them to defined destination folders, compresses or extracts them, opens them with associated programs or performs other defined actions. You can define how to filter your files (by name, directory, size, date, properties, content, regular expressions) and associate one of the 18 available actions to perform (Move, Copy, Compress, Extract, Rename, Delete, Encrypt, Decrypt, Open With, Upload, Send by Mail, Create Gallery, Create List, Create Playlist, Create Shortcut, Copy to Clipboard, Change Properties and Ignore).
About RocketDock - RocketDock.com 10 of the Most Popular Linux Distributions Compared Linux isn’t a complete operating system — it’s just a kernel. Linux distributions take the Linux kernel and combine it with other free software to create complete packages. There are many different Linux distributions out there. If you want to “install Linux,” you’ll need to choose a distribution. Ubuntu Ubuntu is probably the most well-known Linux distribution. The Ubuntu project has a focus on providing a solid desktop (and server) experience, and it isn’t afraid to build its own custom technology to do it. Ubuntu is modern without being too bleeding edge. Linux Mint Mint is a Linux distribution built on top of Ubuntu. This distribution now has its own identity. Debian Debian is an operating system composed only of free, open-source software.

Give Your Old, Slow, Overheating Laptop New Life and an Extreme Makeover Download Taskbar Control, to hide the Windows Taskbar using a hotkey - Windows Freeware / Troubleshooters However convenient (and it is), the Windows taskbar sometimes distracts — when you need to pay special attention to a project or just to stare at this new great wallpaper… Windows gives an “auto hide” option, which is better than nothing (better than Apple!), but not good enough. TheFreeWindows created Taskbar Control, a free and very small program that will let you hide the taskbar (even the 1 pixel line that “auto hide” lets visible) as long as you need, without changing a permanent system option, but just with a keyboard shortcut. By using the same hot key once more you can show / unhide the taskbar again, whenever you want. This way using or avoiding the Taskbar becomes easy and pleasant as a game. Taskbar Control hides the taskbar (including the Orb/Flag of Windows) without impeding the keyboard’s Start / Win key; this way you can have your taskbar fully invisible, and still be able to use the Start Menu to open your programs, search for files, configure your system, etc.
