TuneXP is a freeware system utility designed to speed up your PC and make it run that little bit faster. It downloads and installs fast. Next you should click “help” then ” Documentation”.

This enables you to go through each tweak step by step. I recommend changing the ones that are “recommended for everyone” and leaving the others unless you really know what you’re doing. Defraging boot files is a good idea too, to help your computer start up that little bit faster, the ultra fast booting setting is a good idea too as it rearranges your boot files, also helping for quicker boot-up. you can also disable the built in windows unzipper if you use a third party program for this.
Together these little tweaks and more, all add up to make your system that little bit faster.

‘ve found it does make a noticeable difference with my computer, although i guess it might depend on your individual system. I like the tweaks it offers as i havent found them on any other tweaking programs, which usually seem to have the same ones that dont really do much. Anyway, its free and cant really do any harm.

You can download it here and read more info here.

So if you’ve got sensitive material you don’t want to risk not being able to delete it completely or do you?

The latest version released recently has this major change:

Need a program to back up your files and directories easily? You may want to check out Cobian Backup. Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program you can use to backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.

The good thing about this program is that it uses very few resources, so it can even be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary.

One thing worthy of note about Cobian Backup is that it’s not really like your usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, and as a result creating a security copy. In fact the best way to describe this open source is as a “Scheduler for security copies”.

The latest version of this cool open source, Cobian Backup 8.2.0.186 which just hit the World Wide Web last week has these latest changes:

• Fixed a bug that prevented some directories to be deleted
