A program built into Windows is ‘Windows Explorer’, better known as file and folder management. It provides detailed information about your files and folders and we use it to rename, move, manage and organize our files and folders. explorer.exe has been greatly improved in Windows 7. But if you want to extend your Windows 7 Explorer and add more features, you can try the freeware Better Explorer.

Although MiniWE runs under Windows 7, this can be interesting for Windows 8 users, as it can be used as a quick start program. MiniWE is a combination of Windows Explorer and a Quick Start Bar or Quick Start program that can start everything on your PC and makes browsing and navigating files easier! It has many other interesting and cool features.

MiniWE is an application based on net 3.0 and is therefore supported by all versions of Windows. If you click on the program icon, it appears as an application launcher. It also has the ability to browse folders such as Windows Explorer. When you click on a file, it is launched with its default program and miniWE is automatically minimized. read more

Today I will blog about a software called WSCC a.k.a Windows System Control Center by KirySoft developers. It is a portable software that allows you to install, update, run and manage different suites such as NirSoft, SysInternals or Windows Utilities. I know there are a lot of programs that do that, but it draws my attention because of the way it has been organized.

Windows System Control Center

The feature I liked most about this freeware is that it gives you a brief description of each program and allows you to run it from there. You can check for updates and install new applications added by the company for each application. As this is a portable application, it would be an excellent addition to your USB stick. read more

How many media players have you installed on your Windows PC? I bet more than one. The most popular are Windows Media Player, VLC, Classic Media Player, Winamp and others. Everyone knows that different media players have different keyboard shortcuts or key combinations, and it becomes difficult to memorize them all and use them correctly each time. Frequent actions such as play, high volume, low volume, next, previous, previous, mute and pause require different key combinations on each media player. read more

Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center

If you use Microsoft keyboards and mice, they work by default on Windows with generic drivers to get basic functionality, but you can have IntelliPoint and IntelliType Pro drivers installed to get full support for peripherals and some special features of this device.

Sometimes, when we try to delete, rename or move a file to a folder, we receive a message that Another process is using the file or folder. This means that some processes on your Windows computer have locked the file as required for that process.

MoveOnBoot is such a freeware, which can help you delete, rename or move such locked files. read more
