Process Explorer v11.04

February 29, 2008 / Guttu / Leave a comment

Many times you want which program is accessing a folder or what folder a program access. This is required when you cannot delete empty folders. While deleting you get errors like “file in use”. So use this software to end the process. this is far better than the windows task manager. This also shows which file a program accesses. Which DLL is loaded by the program.

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you’ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you’ll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

Process Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server 2003, and 64-bit versions of Windows for x64 and IA64 processors, and Windows Vista.

TrueCrypt 5.0

February 17, 2008 / Guttu / 2 Comments

Many complain that open source softwares are not good. They don’t have the features of the pro softwares. But I don’t agree with this. There are softwares which surpass their pro competitors. And TruCrypt is one of them. This open-source encryption program is loaded with powerful encryption features, but a lack of in-program help may dissuade all but those users who definitely need or want to completely secure their data. You have to rely on the help available at their website. I hope they come out with one soon.

TrueCrypt

This Little software allows to protect your sensitive data with disk encryption. Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk. Encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB flash drive. Automatically and transparently encrypt in real time. TrueCrypt uses encryption algorithms AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. It is based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, conceived in 1997. Yeah thats too much technical stuff. Don’t bother to read this. The thing you need to know is yor data is secure from all.

In version 5.0 TrueCrypt offers the ability to encrypt a system partition/drive (i.e. a partition/drive where Windows is installed which mostly C:) with pre-boot authentication. Anyone who wants to gain access and use the system, read and write files, etc., needs to enter the correct password each time before the system starts.

PageDefrag v2.32

February 11, 2008 / Guttu / Leave a comment

One of the limitations of the Windows NT/2000 defragmentation interface is that it is not possible to defragment files that are open for exclusive access. Thus, standard defragmentation programs can neither show you how fragmented your paging files or Registry hives are, nor defragment them. Paging and Registry file fragmentation can be one of the leading causes of performance degradation related to file fragmentation in a system.

PageDefrag uses advanced techniques to provide you what commercial defragmenters cannot: the ability for you to see how fragmented your paging files and Registry hives are, and to defragment them. In addition, it defragments event log files and Windows 2000/XP hibernation files (where system memory is saved when you hibernate a laptop).

PageDefrag works on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Server 2003.
