All in 1 utility for cleaning and maintaining your computer to
achieve better overall system performance.
The interface is very simple, featuring only a few buttons.
The utility interface provides four areas of maintenance: spyware removal,
Registry cleaning, privacy sweep, and delete junk files.
The utility provides system optimization tools, detects spyware, defragments
your disk, and scans for incorrect Windows settings.
The Free version does not schedule scans, so you will have to run it manually.
This is Registry optimization software.
It optimizes the registry by removing the gaps, fragments and wasted space in
the Windows registry files.
Your computers registry becomes larger and larger as new programs are installed,
used and removed.
Even if this data is deleted from it when applications are uninstalled, the size
of the Registry does not decrease.
This is because Windows merely marks the data values as blank but the empty keys
still remains.
Because of this, the registry becomes increasingly more fragmented over time.
Registry fragmentation will cause overall system performance to decrease.
Systems with a fragmented registry take longer to boot, and use more memory in
order to process the registry, resulting in decreased performance.
This Free Registry Defrag program will defragment and compact the Windows
Registry very quickly.
It will scan through the registry and remove any blank space, reducing the
registry size, and ultimately the amount of RAM the registry requires.
It Will NOT change the settings contained in the registry in any way!
The optimization is simply compacting the registry hives to their minimum size
possible.
The software is free, easy to use, and it WILL speed up your PC!

The word CODEC is a combination of Code and Decode.
When ever you Record or Play Audio or Video, the files that you create, or that
your player plays, are compressed with an algorithm or Encoded.
This is done to reduce the size requirements of the file information
representing your audio or video.
Different file types, and even the parameters within the file types, produce
varying degrees of audio and video quality.
The different types of encoding have different file extensions or file types,
the 3 characters after the dot in a file name.
These different file extensions let you know what type of file compression
algorithm was used for that particular file.
Other information pertaining to parameters of the compression for a particular
file, are embedded within the file itself.
If you don't have the necessary CODEC installed for a file you are attempting to
record or convert, you will not be able to record or convert it.
If you don't have the necessary CODEC installed for a file you are attempting to
play, you will not be able to play it.

In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop, Gimp,
paint.NET, or PhotoScape, Vector Graphics editors such as Adobe Illustrator and
Inkscape store their graphics in a vector format.
Vector graphics is a resolution independent description of the actual
shapes and objects that you see in the image.
A rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot
each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level.
In Contrast, bitmap (raster) graphics is always bound to a specific
resolution and stores an image as a grid of pixels.
Vector graphics are a complement, rather than an alternative, to bitmap
graphics. Each has its own purpose and are useful for different kinds of things. Raster graphics tend to be better for photographs and some kinds of
artistic drawings, whereas vectors are more suitable for design
compositions, logos, images with text, technical illustrations, etc.
Note that Illustrator and Inkscape can import and display bitmap images, as
well.
An imported bitmap becomes yet another object in your vector graphics, and you
can do with it everything you can do to other kinds of objects (move, transform,
clip, etc.) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open industry
standard, XML based format for vector graphics, developed by the W3C.
Most vector editors these days can import and export SVG.
Modern browsers such as Firefox and Opera can display them directly without
requiring any plug ins, and Internet Explorer, uses an
SVG Viewer plug in from Adobe.

Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE) is
Free Panoramic Image Stitching Software.
This Editor takes a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single
camera location, and creates a high-resolution panorama.
It figures out everything, from lining up the stitch, to adjusting the image
exposures automatically, producing the best possible final stitched image.
Stitched panorama can be saved in a wide variety of formats like TIFF,
JPEG, & PNG, HD View and Silverlight Deep Zoom.
Create Panoramas from common formats like JPEG or TIFF.
This software is very easy to use, does all the drudge work for you, and yields
exceptional results that are truly awesome (the app for most people).
Use for Scanning materials that are too large for your scanner to capture in a
single scan, as well as creating Panoramas from multiple photo images. This is the Free Image Stitching Software I Recommend!
If you desire the ability to intentionally be artistically creative with the
stitching of your images (Like creating a collage or mosaic), then try Hugin.
Use (Very Easy to Use - Simple Stitch):
Run ICE
Select "New" from the "File" drop down.
In the Window that appears, browse to and select / highlight all the images you
want to stitch together, then click the "open" button.
(Hint: Hold down the Control (ctrl) Key while clicking images to select a group
of random images, or the Shift Key while clicking to select a range.)
Wait while ICE figures out the stitch, and stitches your panorama together -
this will take some time, be patient.
ICE will display the stitched image.
Crop the stitched image to the desired final result you desire.
Adjust your desired output image quality levels.
Click the "Export" button.
Save your image with the desired filename in the desired location.
Open-source Free software which enables one to
assemble photographs into a panorama, mosaic, or other forms of art.
Stitch any series of overlapping images.
Hint: Use the Align feature in the Assistant tab. If this does not work you must
manually select alignment points.
This software requires the user to do allot more work to yield results, but also
allows more artistic creativity (If art is what you're after, this is for you).
Use for Scanning materials that are too large for your scanner to capture in a
single scan, as well as creating Panoramas from multiple photo images.
This is a Photo Viewer that will view raw
RAF format photos from certain cameras
that there is no native CODEC support for in Windows. It will also run slide
shows and has
organizational features. A nice add on if you need that type of support.

FrostWire is based on the very popular LimeWire PRO Gnutella/BitTorrent client.
Share any type of file on Gnutella and the BitTorrent network.
FrostWire is derived from LimeWire Pro source code, and it functions the same
way.
When you search for a file using FrostWire, you get LimeWire results.
The differences between FrostWire and LimeWire are:
FrostWire is free, but is based on LimeWire Pro (the paid version of the
LimeWire client), so you wont have to worry about simultaneous download
restrictions, and you won't waste bandwidth to download advertising.
The interface was changed from green to blue, and has been improved.
Tabs have rounded corners, and there are additions.
Connections monitors your outgoing, and incoming connections by host name.
Connections also provides bandwidth information, the vendor, and version being
used.
FrostWire's built in media player currently isn't working with MP3's or MPG's,
even though the downloaded files work fine in other media players.
Some people experience faster downloads with FrostWire. Note: The application comes bundled with the ASK toolbar, which
you can opt out of
(recommended) during the installation process.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) client
designed to efficiently manage the downloading of large, digital files such as
video, music, and games. This link takes you to the site for the Download of
this Torrent Download Client. There is Complete Documentation there for
BitTorrent. Below is all you need to get off to a great start installing,

Hints on installation
During Install I un-check the options for changing my
default search and for installing the optional ASK Tool Bar.
These are not needed for the Torrent Download Client to be Installed in it's
entirety.
Hints on configuration
In the drop down menus - Options - Preferences - Bandwidth:
I change my settings under "Number of Upload Slots Per Torrent" to 0 and
I Un-Check "Use additional upload slots if upload speed < 90%"
This will prevent it from using Bandwidth for uploading content.
Hints on Use
When you wish to Download a Torrent you must have BitTorrent
running in order for the Download to commence. Either click on it's desktop
icon, or select it from your (start menu) Program Menu. It's Icon should be
showing in the system tray (by the clock) Once Installed and configured, with
BitTorrent running (it can be closed down to the system tray)

simply click on a Torrent Download link for something you would like to download
from (in) your Web Browser and
Bit Torrent will open with a pop up window in front of it displaying the items
to be included in the download on the bottom and other options on the top. At
this point you may review the list of download items on the bottom, and un-check
any items you do not wish to be included in your download, then Simply click OK
and your download will begin. Upon completion you can right click on the item
and select open containing folder to gain access to your file/files and view the
path to them for future reference. They are accessible on your hard drive.
When the application is closed it stays active in the system
Tray (by the Clock) In order to truly shut it down you must Right Click on it
there and left click on Exit.

Orbit Downloader is a FREE Flash Video Download
Manager
downloading, such media as video/music/streaming
media from Myspace, YouTube, Imeem, Pandora, Rapidshare, support RTMP. And to
make general downloading easier and faster.
Orbit Downloader supports
HTTP/FTP/HTTPS/RTSP/MMS/RTMP protocols and provides a total solution to download
rich media. So Orbit Downloader can be used as YouTube downloader to download
YouTube more simply and easily. Additionally, you can download music and video
from social music/video websites like YouTube.
Grab Pro - Download RTMP protocol video
Download e-mail and forum attachments with great
speed!
More Efficient mirrors selection algorithm and
faster download sources!
Maximum possible download speed, up to the
fastest download manager!
Download social music and video include Youtube,
Pandora, Myspace easily
Support all streaming media protocol include
RTMP/ MMS/ RTSP
Support all popular browsers include Firefox 3
Orbit can easily download
video and music files from YouTube, Myspace, Google Video, MetaCafe,
DailyMotion, iFilm/Spike and any websites with embedded FLV flash
videos. YouTube is a great source of Flash Video. Orbit adds a Browser
Plug-In which has a tool bar download manager that enables you to download
Google Videos as well as other videos. Orbit has a floating "GetIt" Button
that appears when you move your mouse over a playing flash video, and
clicking on it opens the Download Window. Clicking on Download begins
downloading of the current video being played. Orbit also floats a good
sized icon over your tool bar on your web browser. This icon is a Drop
Window. This icon can be removed by right clicking the icon, and un-checking
the drop window option. The Drop Window can also be dragged to more
convenient locations. To use the Drop Window, simply click a video and drag
your mouse over to the Drop Window while holding the mouse button down, then
let go of the mouse button. (Drag and Drop), This is another way to begin
the download process for the selected video. After Orbit is installed it
will function as a download manager for other files. This can be disabled by
Right Clicking the System Tray Icon and Un-Checking "Browser Monitoring".
This can also be enabled and disabled on the fly by right clicking on the
system tray icon and checking or un-checking this option. Doing this will
stop it from doing anything but the embedded flash videos you chose to
download. During the installation there is an option for a thing called
"Grab Pro". This can be enabled and disabled also, but is a the most
valuable feature of Orbits Video Downloader if you want to get video's from
places like Google Video and other places that regular flash download
managers wont download. It will let you record whatever video is playing on
a web page and save it in your specified download directory. If you initiate
a file download other than video and the download manager comes up, the
download manager download can be canceled and the Browsers normal download
will take it's place instantly. Once again, this can be disabled, by
un-checking "Browser Monitoring".
Orbits Grab Pro abilities to easily download video from more
sources and integrated ability to add your virus scanner in its preferences to
automatically scan everything you download make Orbit a more versatile Download
Manager, however, Grab Pro is also more to enable and disable when switching
between normal Browser functionality and trolling for video. I don't like having
a download manager for normal web downloads so one must be diligent in closing
the interface by right clicking on the system tray icon and clicking exit. In
addition with Orbit's Grab Pro one must right click on the tool bar when not in
use and un-check Grab Pro, then click disable. This must be re-checked and
re-enabled in order to use it later. As a tool bar it takes up too much valuable
browser real estate to leave active when not in use, but as the only way to
download some videos it is also worth having. It comes at the price of
enabling to use and disabling when your done. Additionally in the Preferences
under the General setting there is a box to un-check, if you didn't already take
care of this one during the installation, "Start Orbit on system startup".
Un-checking this will prevent Orbit from opening up automatically every time you
boot your computer. Orbits browser plug-in will keep it in play when your using
your browser. The rest of the time I'll run it when I want to. I don't want to
run it all the time.
Orbit Downloader works. I have tried some programs that could
not successfully download the videos, or downloaded un-playable files. I have
successfully used it to download embedded flash video files from web pages
containing them.
If you're into YouTube and would like to have a copy of some of the videos,
Orbit Downloader is for you!
Notes on Installation and Use:
Installation:
Settings:
During Install un-check the following:
Start Orbit on system start up
Set my home page to Orbit downloader start page
After Install un-check the following by right clicking
the system tray icon (by the clock):
Browser Monitoring
Use:
Notable System Tray Icon (by the clock) right click menu
options:
Drop Zone - turns on and off the Drop Zone Icon - a place to
drag media and drop to begin downloading it.
Browser Monitoring - Turn this off! It monitors your browser
for ANY download activity and activates Orbit as your download manager instead
of your normal browser download function. Orbits ability to function for video
is not effected by disabling this.
Enable "GetIt" button for catching media - This turns the
"GetIt" button display on and off. "GetIt" button is a function of "Grab Pro"
and requires "Grab Pro" to be enabled (tool bar will be displayed) as well as
checking this box.
Preferences - This opens the Orbit Preferences window. All of
Orbits configuration settings are found here.
Exit - This closes the interface and system tray icon. Even
with this closed, if Grab Pro is enabled the "GetIt" button will be displayed
when your mouse is over a playing flash video.
Grab Pro Tool Bar Use:
(Tool Bars are at the top of your Browser and contain things like buttons)
Right Click a spot on your Browsers Tool Bars,
Not on a Button (on a tool bar) or Click on the View drop down menu and
go to Toolbars.
A menu containing a list of all available Tool Bars appears.
By Checking or Un-Checking items on this menu Tool Bars
appear and disappear from the top of your Browser.
The Menu should contain an item for Orbit Downloader called
"Grab Pro"
A Check Next to "Grab Pro" means "Grab Pro" is enabled. If
there is no Check next to "Grab Pro" it is disabled, and the "Grab Pro" Tool Bar
is not displayed in your Browser, also the "GetIt" Button will not function, as
it is a function of "Grab Pro"
Turn Off "Grab Pro" to remove the "Grab
Pro" Tool Bar and free up Browser Real Estate
when not attempting to Download Video.
This is done by:
Right Clicking on the Tool Bar or Click on the View drop down
menu and go to Toolbars..
Left Clicking and Un-Checking the "Grab Pro" menu item.
Left Clicking "Disable" on the "Disable Add On" Window that
will pop up.
Close and Re-Open your Browser.
Turn On "Grab Pro" to Add the "Grab Pro"
Tool Bar and enable the "GetIt" Button if checked in the Orbit Downloader Tray
Icons Right Click Menu. "Grab Pro" is really the key feature to the Orbit
Downloader. When attempting to download video, you want to enable "Grab
Pro"!
This is done by:
Right Clicking on the Tool Bar or Click on the View drop down
menu and go to Toolbars..
Left Clicking and Checking the "Grab Pro" menu item.
Left Clicking "Disable" on the "Disable Add On" Window that
will pop up.

Notes on Free Web Page Editors:
The Free Web Page Editors available on the web have varying
capabilities, strong points, limitations and weak points.
In the interest of coming up with the best FREE solution, one may wish to
install a combination of editor and free web page feature add on, and use
them in combination for editing a single page. The editor alone may do
everything many people need. Other people may want to mix match them with free
feature add on editors for the array of web components their page needs. In
addition to considering the editors features, I considered the end results
produced. I evaluated them based on ease of use, features and results in the
WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get) mode. I created simple web pages on each
editor offered here, as well as many others available for free on the web. I
evaluated them side by side. On each one I created a page that utilized the page
elements I use here on the Best You Can get web site. Here's the highlites:
Trellian Web Page - So far the best I found - Will Float
page objects using CSS for Layer Support. Has Save, but not Save As.
When you want to make a modified copy of an already existing page, Save As
is very handy to have. You could copy the file to another location and re-name
it, then move it back to open it and edit it, but Save As is much easier. You
can also copy and paste the code from your original, or template, in to a "New"
Blank Page Tab, overwriting the code on the new blank page. This can be done in
Trellian as it supports tabbed pages / editing. I was attempting to stay with in
the confines of the WYSIWYG interface. Copying and pasting code from Tab to Tab,
while it doesn't require HTML knowledge, does require leaving the WYSIWYG
portion of the interface. It can be done from within the editor, as the editor
supports editing the code directly. When creating pages from scratch, this is
not an issue. This only matters when one wishes to use an existing page as a
template. Trellian also has a Split editing mode to allow one to
work in both code and WYSIWYG simultaneously. This is the most full featured and
powerful Free editing option that produces good results, I have found. The
output also looks good in a web browser. This editor also had the best HTML
editing user interface of the free editors I've tested.
PageBreeze - No Layer Support or Floating of objects
possible. Only supports .jpg and .gif images, only 5 Font Selections, but the
interface is by far the quickest and easiest to use and produces good results.
This one is geared toward an absolute newbie, and should have the smallest
learning curve for a beginner. Don't spend too long with it though, before you
take off the training wheels, because the best editor has an updated interface,
which is laid out differently from the other free editors, in a similar
interface update fashion to Microsoft Office from years ago to what it is now.
The best free editor offered here has the same design elements PageBreeze has
plus many more, but you'll have to become familiar with where they are. This
will cause you a small learning curve. You will be able to apply what you have
learned on PageBreeze as far as page design elements, but you don't want to
spend too much time, as you will have to get used to the new user interface,
once you outgrow PageBreeze.
Conclusion:
These results are from using the WYSIWYG Mode ONLY! One could use either of
these to edit the HTML code, and gain more control over the page created. By
using a Free editor, along with Free editors specializing in generating code as
a web page ad on, one could gain the advantage of an endless gamut of
features, while still maintaining the advantage of speed and ease of use along
with the desired output results. There are Free add ons, like the CoffeeCup
DHTML Menu Builder below, that could be used to create more powerful, and
advanced web pages with ease when used in combo with your web page editor, by

This Self Extracting Zip File contains 3 Visual Basic programs, 1 Batch
File, and a Read_Me.txt file. Simply Click on the Network_Tools.exe file
after Downloading it, to extract the files.
Visual Basic Files utilize the wscript.exe file in the Windows System32
Directory and have a .vbs file extension.
The .vbs files will run on Most systems, but have run into issues on Windows XP
machines, giving limited, or no functionality.
They are safe to use, even on Windows XP, and if they fail to function.
The worst they do is not function.
They have shown to provide excellent results on Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
The Batch File runs on any Windows machine from XP on...
These files are very small, but very nice to have, when you need them.
Once these files are extracted, just click on them to run them, they should run
as any other normal program.
What's Included:
Close_ALL_open_UPnP_Ports (on your Router)
This File will (on most systems) detect any open UPnP PORTS on
your networks Router, and Close them.
It will also display a list of the Ports it Closed.
Display_Network_Info Utility
This File will (on most systems) detect Your Computers IP
Address, as well as its Domain / Workgroup name, and your computers Network
Hostname.
It will also Detect and display your Routers IP Address on the Internet, and any
open UPnP PORTS on your network, what their number is,
their protocol, and to what IP Address and Port on your network (which computer)
the port is opened up to.
The information this handy file provides can be useful in checking security (any
open PORTS? and to which computer?),
and resolving any security issues found, with the help of the "Open_A_UPnP_PORT_Utility"
and "Close_ALL_open_UPnP Ports on Router" files,
it can be helpful in Setting up a temporary Remote Desk-topping session over the
internet,
setting up a Servers access to the internet, or setting up online gaming systems
(ie. Xbox, Playstation) to access the internet.
testnet
A
Network Connectivity Troubleshooter
This Batch File runs a series on tests on your network connectivity, and
displays any issues it has connecting your computer to the network, the
internet, or resolving DNS.
It is handy for basic troubleshooting of your network, and can quickly spot
problems.
It will quickly test the elements of your network, and determine the cause of
many common issues.
The Batch File will Display any problem found, so that you will know what needs
to be resolved, in order to restore connectivity.
It will Stop when it Displays Information for each problem, so, you may need to
run it more than once.
When All is good, it will Display "You have an active Internet connection!".
If it needs to test your computers connection to your Router, it will ask for
your Routers IP Address.
Type in the Correct IP Address for your Router, and Press Enter.
It will display the IP Address you entered as verification, that you typed it
correctly.
Open_A_UPnP_Port Utility
This Visual Basic File utilizes UPnP and allows you to intentionally OPEN any
port you like (provided it is NOT already in use) with either TCP or UDP
Protocols,
and FORWARD that PORT to ANY IP Address and PORT Number on your Local Network.
It will prompt you for each setting one at a time, and remember the setting you
made for the routers port number,
making it a pre-filled in "matching" option for the computers PORT number (This
is the most typical setting you will make).
This lets you just click OK or press enter on your keyboard, to Forward the PORT
on the Router to the same PORT Number on the computer or device.
It will detect your computers IP Address, and pre-fill in that information too,
giving you the option to conveniently click or press enter past it,
provided you are forwarding the Router PORT to the computer you are running the
"Open_A_UPnP_Port" Utility file on.
Just because settings are pre-filled in, does not mean they can not be changed,
they can be changed to anything you like (provided it is valid).
They are already highlighted, so just start typing the desired setting
information, to replace what was pre-filled in there, as a convenience.
There is some error trapping employed, but this file is in its infancy.
I have resolved most, but not all operator (you) entered incorrect data issues.
It functions perfectly, if all entered data is correct, but it is possible for
YOU to enter some wrong (misformatted) data, in one place.
Error trapping is NOT present on the IP Address input, and any incorrect or
misformatted data will be accepted.
The IP Address is the one place you can enter invalid, and even misformatted
information.
If the IP Address is detected and displayed for your computer (not 0.0.0.0), and
pre-filled in, it WILL be correct.
If you change the pre-filled IP Address, make sure you enter a correctly
formatted address.
Correctly formatted addresses contain 4 sets of 3 digit numbers, between 0 and
255, separated by a period/decimal point.
Example: 192.168.1.5
There are NO Warranties or Guarantees of Any
Kind on these files. If these files do not perform to your expectations, your
sole resolution is to stop using them.

The LibreOffice Suite is Free and does word processing,
spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, and databases.
LibreOffice Suite can read and write files from other common office
software packages.
If you have used any other office software, LibreOffice will make full use of
what you already know through familiar screens and menus.
Easier (and cheaper) to move to LibreOffice from Microsoft Office than it
is to upgrade to Microsoft's latest Office 2007/2010.
LibreOffice is the continuation of the OpenOffice project, by the same people
who developed OpenOffice for over a decade, but due to legal issues with Oracle,
after Oracle took over Sun, limiting the development of the OpenOffice Suite,
the developers decided to continue the project on their own in the open source
community. LibreOffice will have improvements that the developers where limited
from adding to OpenOffice while they where collaborating with Sun / Oracle.
LibreOffice is now offering Full Final Release Versions. Look for great things
here!

The higher the number of
Passes, the lower the probability of even finest magnetic tracks being detected.
The Department of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M) recommends seven passes for top
security.
Many people have some computer data that they would rather not share with others
- passwords, personal information, sensitive documents from work, financial
records, the list goes on. Many people erroneously think that when you 'delete'
a file, the data is gone.
When you delete a file, the operating system does not really remove the file
from the disk; it only removes the reference to the file from the file system
table. The file remains on the disk until another file is created to overwrite
it, and even after that, it may be possible to recover data by studying the
magnetic fields on the disk platter surface. Also, before the file is
overwritten, anyone can easily retrieve it with a disk maintenance, or undelete
utility.
Eraser is an advanced security tool for Windows which allows you
to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it
several times with carefully selected patterns
Eraser is Free software and its source code is released under GNU General Public
License.
These problems in secure file removal caused by the use of write cache,
construction of the hard disk and the use of data encoding have been taken into
consideration when Eraser was designed, and because of this intuitive design and
simple user interface, you can safely and easily erase private data from your
hard drive.
The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper Secure
Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory and are selected to
effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.
Other methods include that which is defined in the National Industrial Security
Program Operating Manual of the U.S. Department of Defence, and overwriting with
pseudorandom data.
You can also define your own overwriting methods Features:
Choose from 4 secure government sanctioned deletion algorithms, as well as 10
other excellent algorithms. Up to 35 Passes.
Allows adding files or folders to be deleted via drag-and-drop
Secure Delete files via a right click Menu.
It works with any drive that works in Windows.
Secure drive erasure methods are supported.
Erases files, folders and their previous deleted counterparts.
Works with an extremely customizable Scheduler, handy for routinely wiping free
disk space. 13 Options available.
Replace files with a list of files you can select, for plausible deniability,
and enabled this feature with a check box.
This program is larger about 8.885M. The interface looks nice, considering it
packs allot more options in to it than File Shredder.
It has many more algorithm options, a scheduler to keep your free space secure,
plausible deniability option, and a minimizes to the system tray.
If you need the maximum file deletion security all the time, Eraser is the best
of the 2 Free options offered here. (Recommended)
If you don't need the maximum file deletion security all the time, and / or you
have limited disk space, or compatibility issues File Shredder is for you.
File Shredder is a free desktop application which securely deletes files and
folders from your Drive.
Files deleted with File Shredder can not be retrieved.
File Shredder supports multiple shredding algorithms up to 7 passes.

available.
Shell integration on Right Click Menu in Windows to Delete / Shred right from
the right click menu.
Shred Free Disk Space feature to shred unused free disk space included in the
interface.
This Program is smaller about 1.193M in size, and the interface looks nice.
It's only extra or unique feature is the ability to create a file deletion list
prior to deletion, and then click a button to delete them all.
It has less algorithm options, no scheduler to keep your free space secure, no
plausible deniability option, no minimize to tray.
If you don't need the maximum file deletion security all the time, and / or you
have limited disk space File Shredder is for you.

(Start>Run>Type cmd click OK)
Navigate to the FreeMe 2 Folder - Type cd "space" (the path to the folder where
freeme2 is) (cd>a space>the path to the FreeMe2 folder)
Type freeme2 NameOfFile.wma (freeme2>a space>the name of the file you wish to
convert with its extension) Note: the wma file you wish to convert needs to be in the same folder as
freeme2.exe and libeay32.dll in order for it to function properly.
Currently FreeMe2 support three options: v, s and 2.
Any combination of those is valid.
v - verbose mode
S - ask for SID2
2 - use FreeMe2 original decryption engine (by default FreeMe2 uses MPlayers
one).
Example configurations:
Decrypt file; ./FreeMe2 NameOfFile.wma
Decrypt file in verbose mode;./FreeMe2 -v NameOfFile.wma
Decrypt file but force program to ask for sid;./FreeMe2 -s NameOfFile.wma
Decrypt file but force program to ask for sid in verbose mode;./FreeMe2 -vs
NameOfFile.wma
