Yes I have used it and currently have it installed. It's a great program. It syncs with Explorer and has it's own menu in the Context Menu. If you right click on a file then hover on Axcrypt in the menu you will see you can: Encrypt, Encrypt a copy, Encrypt to EXE and some other stuff. But those 3 are the important ones. It doesn't use container storage like truecrypt meaning it's easier to use.

Once something is encrypted you just double click on it and it will ask for the password. Give the password and it opens the file. No need to do all those other steps like in Truecrypt.

Hello,

wipe_free_space_jc

Freeware.

Wiping free space on a disk, by writing random data.

Useful for example when you give a USB disk, in order to prevent old erased files becoming available with tools like undelete or unformat.

ctjean, CCleaner has a Drive Wiper option on the Tools page, plus it does so much more


You should really give it a try.

Greetings,
I have added a ClipFind program to the ClipLog program, as follows:

Program name: ClipLog and ClipFind
Author: Vernon vmars316 , Developed on Windows7
Docs are here:
http://www.quickerthanaspark.com/Cli...ipLogDocs.html
Download here:
http://www.quickerthanaspark.com/Cli...lipLog_zip.zip

CLipLog is a simple windows program
that watches the Windows ClipBoard for any text COPY command.
Any 'COPY text' action will trigger ClipLog,
to LOG the 'CopiedText' into a disk file (yyyymmdd.txt).
ClipLog also time_stamps each 'CopiedText' entry.
It ceates a new 'yyyymmdd.txt' file for each day.

ClipLog is portable freeware, no changes are made
to your computer. Simply create a new Folder,
perhaps named "C:\CLipLog". And copy the ClipLog.zip
file into it. UnZip the file.
Now there should be 5 files in the CLipLog Folder,
ClipLog_zip.zip, ClipLog.exe, ClipLog.bas, ClipLog.ico, ClipFind.
Newly created Log files will also reside in this same Folder.

ClipLog has four buttons,
1) [Send ClipLogWindow to TaskTray] makes ClipLog
run invisible, except for a visible Icon in the TaskTray.
You can make ClipLog visible again, by doubleClicking
on its TaskTray Icon.

2) [Find ] startup the ClipLog’s Search Program, Clipfind.

3) [Help] Dislpays ClipLog/ClipFind Help DOCs in Browser.

4) [Exit Program] .

You might want to created a CLipLog.lnk (shortcut).
And put it into your StartUp Folder. Perhaps here:
"C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup".
Then ClipLog will be started automatically, at each system startup.

ClipFind is a search program for your ClipLog yyyymmdd.txt files.
Finds text in all files in current or selected directory.
The default search directory is also where ClipFind.exe is located.

Every word in a ClipFind Result window is a link! Activate the link
(a) by clicking the beginning of the word or
(b) pressing F1 or
(c) Enter with the cursor at the word beginning.

(1) There is no limit on what you can search for.
(2) Every search is exhaustive producing a hit list of search results.
(3) Everything in THIS 'ClipFind Result display page' is a link to other
file content. No need to mark links, since every word is a link!

==Search starts with "Enter" key in search text box or with "Find It" button.
==Keyboard arrows navigate search results; "Space" selects item and "Enter" displays item.
==Result items can be selected with key or mouse doubleclick and displayed.
Your browser is launched to display .html result files.
=="Escape" exits result display and exits program.
=="Tab" switches focus between search text box and search results list.

Search text examples:
" mod " finds fewer hits than "mod".
" hex" finds fewer hits than "hex".

Using ClipLog/Find as PIM :

Its easy to find URLs, by searching for “http or www”.
For other things, like Quotes, I imbed the word “quote” in the COPY command,
or make a separate, immediate COPY with just the word “quote”.
I use the same method for other types of info, such as “phone”,
“paid”, “appt" for appointment”, “wishlist”, “todo”, "chapter".
As you can probably see, This way ClipLog/ClipFind is also a Personal information manager (PIM).




Thanks...Vernon

Laptop Battery Meter

Hello. I had an issue with my lap top whereby there was no status in the toolbar: I could not know what percentage was remaining and after googling this for 3 days , i got no further. There was nothing in the power options that would allow me to apply anything to the tool bar to monitor my battery life.

I found a great deal of posts here regarding this issue and none seem to have known how to solve this the right way and some wanted to know, not only their battery life, but the time remaining.

I found this and have tested it fully. http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/download.html

It is free and it will account details over a number of days so it will know your battery personally and read quite accurately the status direct from your tool bar.

This post can thus be linked into any other posts relating to the question on this matter.

Thank's..

As long as people are putting forward free backup software, I'll put in my 2 cents for EaseUS Todo Backup Free Edition. Download from here: http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Todo...ml?tag=mncol;1 . Besides doing backups, its also my go to cloning software for replicating my system drive. Works flawlessly for both functions.

Let me know if this helps you out.
