Tired of your system wearing the same old look? Well, this freeware offers to give your computer a new and ever-changing look.
Wallperizer is a desktop wallpaper changer, which allows you to add up to 100 directories, where the program would look for pictures that would be used as wallpapers. It’s really nice because the wallpapers can be changed automatically, either in order or randomly.
One of the cool features of Wallperizer is Brightness normalization. This is an automatic process where bright pictures are made darker and dark pictures are made brighter. Brightness normalization can be used to bring the brightness of wallpapers close to environmental light.
Another cool feature is that a calendar can be displayed on the wallpaper. These calendars have skins that you can edit, load and save.
For more features check out the History of changes.
A new updated version has just been released, 1.2.1 and the major change in this new update is that a label has been added below the list of directories, from which the wallpaper pictures are loaded, which shows the entire name of the focused directory. This is useful when a directory name is very long
For more info and free download; Click here! Previous version can be found here.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 98 / Me / NT4 / 2000 / XP / Vista. On Windows Vista, the program must currently be run as administrator.
NOTE: Though there are no special requirements for running the program; for Windows NT4 you need to have installed service pack 6.
To install the program, just run the downloaded file (but first close any running instances of the program).

The problem with downloading and playing games on the system or even online at times is that you may not get the best speed out of your PC and Internet connection. You experience some glitches or slow downs. This software, Game Boost helps put an end to such problems or at least reduce their frequency of occurrence.

If you have had it with losing data to corrupted zip files and Self Extracting files [SFX], then this software might be for you. Advanced Zip Repair [AZR] is a powerful tool that helps you repair corrupted zip files and Self Extracting Files. It can scan the zip archives and recover your data in them as much as possible, to minimize the loss in file corruption.
It’s attractive features include its ability to fix all sub-types of zip files and all kinds of self-extracting files and the fact that it supports the repair of zip files on corrupted medias, such as floppy disks, zip disks, CDROMs etc. among others.
To know whether AZR can repair your zip file successfully you’ll need to repair your zip archive normally in “Repair” tab. If it can be repaired successfully, you will see a message box after the repair process, where you can click the “Show Repair Report” button and see a report of all the recoverable items in the zip archive. For every item, the report will display its file name, file size, the packed size and its recoverable status.
The downside to this software is that though you can get the demo version for free there is a limitation; it will only show a report of all the recoverable items in the Zip archive, but will not output the fixed archive. To get the actual repaired Zip archive, you need to order the full version. Advanced Zip Repair has been recently updated and the updated version, Advanced Zip Repair 1.8 released.
The major changes in the new updated version:
- Improved the support to spanned/split zip files;
- Fixed some minor bugs

If, like I do, you have a lot of programs on your start menu and you don’t want it to take forever bringing up any program you need, then you may find this freeware useful.
Key Launch is a simple and small utility for fast typers. It allows you to open programs by entering a few characters from their names, instead of going through all these menus and submenus. For example: Just enter “calc” to find all programs containing this string.
If you want you can add “aliases”, e.g. you can define that “excel” means “Microsoft Excel” or “word” “Microsoft Word”. Just type the alias and the program will open. How long does it take you to find a program in your Start Menu? If you’re familiar with a keyboard, then you can do this in less than a second.
If you are not a fast typer and don’t have much programs on your system, you may just stick to your conventional way of going through the start menu but if you know your way around a keyboard, you’ll really find this useful.
Learn more and download it HERE! It’s FREE!
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT: Windows XP and NT only.

Auto Shutdown as the name implies is a freeware that shuts down your system automatically after a specified amount of time. It is not to be confused with AutoShutdown Standard 5.0, a shareware from the stables of Barefoot Productions, which provides unattended control for a Windows PC: shutdown, restart, logoff, standby or hibernate your computer based on date/time, idle computer time, hot keys or a manually triggered command.
Auto Shutdown is a freeware published by Konradp.com, which does the simple action of automatically shutting down your system. It works like this:
- Set the time
- Set the action to be taken
– Shutdown means that the computer will be turned off (after logging off, if needed). Force means that the running applications (if any) will be forced to close themselves). This can be dangerous, is some cases you may lose your data, unsaved documents;
– Remind me about means that, when the time comes, a message box will be shown with your message (e.g. “Food is ready!” or “the movie has began!”).
That’s it. When the time comes auto shutdown will do the specified job.
It is worthy of note that you must not close the dialog box of the “Auto Shutdown” program while in use, if you do then nothing will happen. Auto Shutdown must be running to work.
There is really no big deal about this program because it only shuts down the system and remind you about certain things unlike programs like Intelligent Shutdown, Auto Shutdown Standard or Auto Shutdown Pro that does a variety of things but the fact that it is free and easy to use makes it a welcome tool.
Click here for more info and download. It is supported by all Windows Opearting Systems.

Do you have great pictures on your digital camera that you want to share with friends but they are kind of too big to be emailed conveniently and too large to be displayed on websites? Are you in need of a freeware that can help you make high quality copies of your photos at a smaller size?
PhotoRazor might just be right for you. Photo Razor like the name implies is a freeware that acts as a razor to photos, cutting them to smaller sizes.
It is a free photo resizing software that helps you to make high quality copies of your photos at a smaller size – ideal for on-screen viewing. This reduces the file size making them much easier to email and share with friends and family.
Obviously you don’t want to lose your large originals in the process of resizing – you’ll need those for printing, so PhotoRazor saves the smaller resized copies to a separate folder, ensuring your precious original photographs are kept safe and untouched. It also allows you to adjust the size & quality and see the result before processing, a real time saver.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT: Windows XP/2000/98/ME/NT

Total Organizer is a Personal Information Manager that helps you organize and plan your business and personal life. The unique thing about it is that it allows you to store all of your contacts, tasks, notes, and to-do lists divided into tree-structured categories. Each item- note, task, contact, etc may belong to several categories (tags). So, this is a combination of folders (tree) and tags.

Total Organizer comes in two versions: The freeware version, and the Pro version (TOTAL ORGANIZER PRO). The Pro version differs in that it allows you to view and manage so named “Relations” – that is, connections between items (created automatically, by the program, and manually). Both versions have recently been updated and their new updated versions just released.
