A couple of days ago, November 19 to be precise, AcceleRun was updated to version 1.6. Accelerun is a software that launches any of hundreds of installed programs within two seconds.

You don’t need to search through long menus again; you don’t have to worry about complex key combinations. All you have to do is to type in a few letters in the name of the program, folder, file or website, and Accelerun will find the matches – the more letters you type, the more the search narrows.

Accelerun makes your PC easier to navigate; you can move round a lot quicker using Accelerun. The fact that it requires minimum memory usage, has an easy-to-use design and it is ready for use in minutes after first launch make it a very useful tool.

Latest Changes in this latest version include:

• New options
• Speed and size optimizations
• Bug fixes

It’s easy to see what side of the bread the code monkeys at Google have buttered, politically speaking. Type “failure” into Google and click “I’m feeling lucky.” Well yeah that just about says it.

I’m really curious as to how this was done. Usually search engine stuff is all drawn from the target page, spiderbots read all the text on the page (and more importantly IN the page) and catalogue this in the database. I’ve viewed the source of that page on the Whitehouse site and there’s nothing like that in the code. Obviously, putting comments like that in the Whitehouse code is a short way to get yourself fired…

So the only explanation is that someone put it directly into the Google database. Man, the power. It’s overwhelming, isn’t it?

If there is one thing I actually treasure in life, it’s my privacy. I hate to have it invaded in any form. I used to be confused about how to keep my private files private on my system until I discovered this software, INVISIBLE PRIVATE FOLDER.

Invisible Private Folder keeps your private files invisible from others, giving you a sense of security and privacy. Now you don’t have to worry about people having access to your files on, you can simply make them invisible. The Invisible Private Folder can help you keep your files protected from kids, friends and co-workers. It allows you to add any folder to the virtual invisible private folder. It enables you to block and hide any file or folder you do not want to be accessible to others. 

The tool is enhanced with two different user modes; in one, a single user or the administrator can solely use the private folder and in the other mode multiple users can lock and manage his own private folders. But only the administrator can change user modes and settings and uninstall the software.

In need of a free tool that you can use to shut down or restart network computers? You might want to try this freeware I just discovered! RemShutdown.

It is a very simple freeware, designed with a user-friendly interface that allows remote shutdown or restart of network computers. It enables you to specify a delay during which a specified message can be displayed and applications running on the remote computer at the time of the shut down can be closed. The simplicity of its design makes it very easy to use.
 
It is worthy of note though, that it works best with Windows 2000 and above, any OS lower than 2000 will not work well with it. The file size is just 518 KB so having a free disk space of 1MB and at least 32MB RAM should give you a quick download.

Trying to type names with special characters at times may seem to be a daunting task. If you have friends with names that have characters not in the 26 alphabets you would have noticed that trying to type their names correctly slows down your typing as you have to seek out the character map on your PC and search for the appropriate characters. Maybe you’ve even decided that no matter how they feel about it you would rather type “Bergström” as “Bergrstrom”, than go through the stress of looking for special characters like “ö”. No need to get yourself all worked up or cross your friends over special characters, PopChar can help you maintain peace with your friends. 

PopChar is a user-friendly character map that unlike the conventional character map is easy to use and even easier to access. WHY? Because this character map sits quietly in your user tray. Whenever you need a special character, it is there – no matter what application you’re currently using. 

PopChar is a utility that lets you insert special characters, accented and foreign letters, etc. from all installed fonts into your documents. You never need to search for and remember keystrokes any longer. Just pop up the window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document. PopChar is also a better option than the normal character map if you need to insert Hebrew characters, Arabic characters, HTML characters, Unicode characters and more. 

Don’t take my word for it! Try it out your self! 

You need to note this though; the free version contains limited characters, so if you download it and some characters appear dim and inaccessible, it’s not because something is wrong with your system. It’s because you are expected to order the full version to get access to the full features. But you can check out the trial version first and even learn more about its features HERE!
