I have used this partition tool and can attest that it will get the job done with minimal hassle…
The free partition manager displayed a list of all the storage devices it detected on our system in a center pane on the display window. The list provided details about the drives, including disc type, file system, status and used and free space.
Create your own personalized menu to launch your programs, Windows apps, documents, websites, etc… I am a lover of application launchers and can tell you that “Quick Access Popup”, is a good one and that the developer has put heart into this.
This easy-to-use tool will permit you to efficiently access all of your frequently used folders without the need to search for their location within Windows Explorer. It will also allow you to create your personalized menu that contains shortcuts to your favorite folders, documents, applications, URLs and more.

Did you know that Firefox, the choice browser of the tech community has a Private Browsing Mode built into it?
If you are a Firefox user and you are using Firefox version 3.5 or higher you can easily switch from normal browsing mode to private browsing mode. Many of the other popular browsers also have a private (incognito) browsing mode that you can explore.
When you are normally browsing the internet, Firefox remembers the web sites you have visited, your user names and passwords, your browsing history and more. In other words these browsing morsels become a profile of your browsing habits and of you. When you switch to the Private Browsing Mode in Firefox, these browsing morsels are not collected and stored on the host computer.
Using Private Browsing Mode, to protect your privacy, is handy when browsing the internet from a friend’s computer or at work. In reverse, you can switch the browser into Private Browsing Mode when someone else is using your computer to prevent extraction of or review of your personal morsels (such as user names, passwords, history, cookies, etc…).
To get into Private Browsing Mode, go to the menu bar (at the top of the browser), click on “Tools”, then “Private Browsing Mode” [ see video ]. You can also perform the hotkey combo of Ctrl + Shift + P on your keyboard to turn Private Browsing Mode “on or off” .
Personally, I prefer using the hotkey combination to quickly go in and out of Private Browsing Mode. When you enter the Private Browsing Mode, Firefox will graciously remember any pages or tabs that you have open, so that when you exit from Private Browsing Mode, you are right back where you started.
You can also depart from Private Browsing Mode by going to the menu bar, click on “Tools”, then “Stop Private Browsing”. You can also leave Private Browsing Mode by simply closing Firefox, as well.
In a Private Browsing session, Firefox won’t keep any browser history, search history, download history, web form history, cookies, or temporary internet files. However, files you download and bookmarks you make will be kept. [ click here to see details ]
You can tell when you are in Private Browsing Mode by looking at the Title Bar at the top of the browser window. It will reflect “Private Browsing – Mozilla Firefox”. Downloading files or saving bookmarks is not affected by Private Browsing Mode.
If you are at another PC, I strongly encourage that you use Firefox and the Firefox Private Browsing Mode to protect your privacy. If Firefox is not available on the host PC you can use Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and run it from your flash drive.

A screen capture utility is a “must have” on any PC (or flash drive); especially if you are a writer, blogger, graphic designer, desktop publisher, etc… I have tried and tested many of the capture utilities and the one that has set well with me is “FastStone Capture”. FastStone Capture went commercial after version 5.3; however, the freeware version is still available at various sites around the internet. This little utility is a well thought out screen capture utility. It is no wonder the author opted to go commercial with it.
Before I tell you where you can get FastStone Capture (the last freeware version), let me give you some hightlights. The download that I will refer you to is a download for the portable version that can be installed on your flash drive or into a folder of your choice on your PC. This way, if you do not like it, simply delete the folder; but I’m telling you this little app rocks and is very easy to use.
FastStone Capture uses very little screen space and provides (6) different screen capture modes (see below) that can be activated by clicking one of the mode buttons in the application or by using hotkey combinations on your keyboard.
1. Capture Active Window
2. Capture Window /Object
3. Capture Rectangle Region
4. Capture Freehand Region
5. Capture Full Screen
6. Capture Scrolling Window
With FastStone Capture you have the option of sending the captured result to a built in graphic editor, to the clipboard, to a file, to the printer, or to an email (as an attachment). The output file can be saved to the most common graphic file formats (e.g. gif, png, bmp, jpg, tif) or as a PDF file. Settings are also available that allow you to auto capture to an edge/watermark or to prompt you each time to assign a caption or label to your captured result. This little app also features a built-in graphic editor, a screen magnifier and a screen color picker.
If you do not have this app, I suggest you get it now… You can download FastStone Capture (last freeware version) [ HERE ] .

Kudos to the author of FastStone Capture for making such a wonderful application.
