Happiness is a tight butt and flat tummy. I have neither but yours looks awesome BTW do you have any beer?

What's a good app to find copies of the same file across multiple locations/drives under different names?

Edit: Just looked at the 1st page again. Duplicate cleaner smallest/easiest way to go?

You will perish under maximum deletion.


So it looks like the OP is banned. Would it be best if someone made a new thread (If they are dedicated to keeping the OP up-to-date, AKA not me).

Clover - Adds tabbed browsing to windows explorer.
Uninstalled this after two weeks, as occasionally it would get a long running explorer.exe process stuck maxing out a single core while doing nothing noteworthy.

Wasn't too happy about Internet Explorer asking me to enable its apparently unnecessary addon every time either.

Too bad.


EDIT: Uninstalling did not remove the program nor its shortcuts, that's pretty terrible as well. This could maybe be an UAC thing, but I have definitely higher standards for the software I want to use.

I had all the same problems as well. Figured it might of been something unique to my setup so I didn't comment on it.

drat, that sucks. I've been running it without issues for over a month now. Guess I'll have problems when I uninstall it then.

edit: Just tried uninstalling and it didn't leave anything behind for me.



Another suggestions: Explorer++ A small file manager.

I'll clarify that it's just literally the folder (with its content) under Program Files and the shortcuts it left behind. Removing those manually isn't much of a problem. And it probably wouldn't be a problem at all if the uninstaller is run with administrator privileges. It just never asks for them like a properly written program would.

This obviously doesn't apply if you always log in as administrator.


vvvv That's how I found out myself.

Read those posts about Clover -- took a look, and turns out that's why my laptop's been heating up so much lately. Uninstalled it, good catch.

Huh. Clover's working fine for me, only 1 or 2 percent CPU usage. I guess China just likes my hardware better.

For a browser, I'd recommend:

Chromium: Whilst for a lot of people, the issue of Chrome phoning home and sending stuff to Google is a legitimate concern, Chromium gets rid of most of that. It features little, if any, of Google's proprietary stuff (Search suggestions, syncing, etc.) plus it comes without proprietary tech bundled, e.g. flash and java.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good bandwith monitor that also lets me limit the upload/download rate of applications?

I use Netlimiter, supposedly the free 'Monitor' version can do that.

Speaking of bandwidth monitoring, does anyone know of a Windows app that will hook into DDWRT and monitor my bandwidth at the router level? Does such a thing exist?

Some sort of snmp monitoring would probably do the trick. I assume that DDWRT has the capability, but i suspect many consumer firmwares would not.

I'm pretty sure that most routers nowadays support at least SNMPv2. Whether the settings are easy to find and change on whatever model is up to debate, though.

poo poo, didn't realize this thread existed! I'm always intermittently looking for the thread about random software. Still use the poo poo out of cat mouse, f.lux, volume mouse, search everything, etc. when I'm home I'll have to go through the programs I got from the thread like 5 years ago and see if it's not in the op


Cross posting my question

Hey guys. I'm going to be gone for a while with no Internet. I'd like a way to read long sa threads on my tablet (asus transformer) maybe something that'll make it into a PDF? Or even my kindle. I love reading through ask/tell threads about history and poo poo like that.

Here's a quick recommendation for something I've been using for a while now:

HashTab - A shell extension for Explorer that adds a "File Hashes" tab to the Properties window. Supports everything from Adler-32 to Whirlpool. Also available for MacOS if you're one of those people.

CutePDF is a pretty decent PDF printer - I'd say to print out the pages you want to PDF, though I'm not sure if there aren't better ways to do what you need.

I need some video editing software, preferably free. I made some videos using FRAPs and the play just fine in VLC, but when I load them into Windows Movie Maker the program just says they're corrupt and will not do anything with them.

I'm looking for some good Windows software to manage a library of photos. I just got back from a long trip and figured I'd use the opportunity to organize my photos a little better than just folders with numbered jpgs.

Sequoia View is a visualizer for hard drive space. It scans the disk and displays the files on it as different sized blocks based on the size on disk. Situationally useful and neat looking to boot.

Maybe it's ghetto, but I find Windows Live Photo Gallery fine. That said, I'm still using 2009 because I vastly prefer the simple date based tree structure on the left, and I think the UI is clean.
