If you feel annoyed juggling through multiple chats, that important blog post or the excel sheet you are supposed to analyze, all at once, SplitView is the answer to all your problems.

SplitView saves you from:

- Buying another monitor to extend your desktop

- Juggling through your windows using Alt+Tab

- Painfully moving or resizing windows to fit your desktop

- Minimize windows time and again

SplitView divides you high resolution wide screen monitor into parts based on your preferences enabling you to switch between multiple applications easily. SplitView thus transforms a large single monitor system into a multi-monitor system enabling you to focus on your work, not on window management.

Window Configurations:

SplitView allows multiple window configurations like:

You can use a double split to compare documents, a quad to view videos, chat, check emails and work at the same time, or return to the vintage single screen if the task at hand demands your complete attention.

How to use SplitView:

SplitView also offers some excellent ease of use with integrating its toolbar with the Windows title bar and adding options with Windows system menu, for options to send windows to left or right. Thus you can send any window to any of the split screens by clicking on the respective buttons.

Keyboard shortcuts:

SplitView enables the following keyboard shortcuts to move windows:

• Alt/Windows key+Left Arrow - Occupy the left half of the monitor
• Alt/Windows key+Right Arrow - Occupy the right half of the monitor
• Alt/Windows key+Up Arrow - Occupy the top half of the monitor
• Alt/Windows key+Down Arrow - Occupy the bottom half of the monitor

Windows can also be placed in the four corners by using Alt/Windows key in combination with keys on the numeric keypad. For example, pressing Alt/Windows key + 7 moves a window to the top-left corner, and pressing Alt/Windows key + 3 moves it to the bottom-right corner.

Working with Multiple Monitors:

SplitView is multi-monitor aware, so not only can you split your primary monitor but also have applications use half the screen of your extra monitors. Holding down the Ctrl key when clicking the Go Left/Go Right buttons makes the window go to the respective monitor.

Flexibility:

SplitView is flexible and customizable - you can make it work the way you want it to:

- It adds an icon to the system tray for ready configuration

- You can easily disable it when you don’t need it

- With the SplitView Options dialog you can customize SplitView button behaviour, integration with other softwares and several other advanced options.

Compatibility:

SplitView can be configured to run in Personal Edition mode as well as Terminal Server mode and is compatible in Windows Vista(32-bit and 64-bit for latest editions)

SplitView is a paid software and costs $39 per PC. However it’s worth each and every cent. Download the trial version of SplitView and check it out for yourself!

When was the last time when you forgot a password which you had earlier typed in Firefox?

With the Remember Password facilities of most web browsers including Firefox, Users (like me) tend to forget their passwords while logging into the same website from another computer.

Grim as this may sound, there is a simple way to remember your saved password, easier than trying all combinations of your girlfriend’s name and her telephone number!. Here is how one can locate a saved password in Firefox.

Finding forgotten passwords in Firefox

1. In Firefox, Navigate to Tools>Options

2. Click on the Security Tab and navigate to the Saved Passwords button:

3. The Saved Passwords box contains a list of all the websites where you clicked on the Remember Password tab, and your usernames on that website.

In the Saved Passwords Box, Click on Show Passwords. The saved passwords for all websites you visited will be revealed. Scroll to the password you are looking for, and there it will be waiting to be discovered. You can also search for a particular website from this list.

Precautions to be taken:

As easy as 1-2-3 that it may sound, there are some precautions to take care of:

1. Whenever you clear your Private Browsing Data in Firefox (Tools>Options>Privacy>Private Data Settings), make sure you have not clicked on the saved passwords check-box. This will delete all your saved usernames and passwords. (believe me, its complete mayhem if you do this, you’ll end up re-registering on websites, without realizing you had an account there)

2. Firefox has the habit of saving all usernames and passwords, irrespective of the fact that they are correct or not. For example, if I enter the wrong username or the wrong password, and click on Remember me on this computer tab, then Firefox will remember it inspite of the fact that it is the wrong password. However if you use the same username again and give the correct password, Firefox will update the current password for the same username.

I have a lot of movies, music and other important files in CD’s & DVD’s and while searching for a bunch of files last week, I realised that due to scratches, I could not read those files. However, those files were something that I could not do without. That’s when Copy Cat came to my rescue.

Copy Cat is a free tool which skips the bytes which are not readable from files and copies all other bytes, thus extracting maximum data which does not take place normally by the windows copy operation.

Key Features

- Copies your oldest collection of CD’s and DVD’s

- It even tries to copy a highly damaged media byte by byte

- It gives you the option to skip the bytes if bad area found

- It is a very fast data recovery tool

- It also tries to copy damaged files on your hard disk

- Unlike Windows copy operation it does not stop the copy if bad area found

I must add here that Copy Cat is a very efficient tool and I was able to recover the files that I would have otherwise lost. If you ever have a similar problem, then this is the tool to use!

Download Copy Cat for FREE!

Most applications automatically add themselves to the Windows XP Startup when you install them on your PC. Over a period of time, a lot of programs startup while Windows XP boots which results in slowing down your PC. You can avoid this by removing those applications that you don’t use often or do not use when Windows boots.

- Click on Run on the Start Menu, key in ‘msconfig‘ and press enter.

- The Windows XP System Configuration Utility windows will open.

- Click on the Startup tab to display the programs that run at startup.

- Uncheck the items in the Windows XP System Configuration Utility that you want to remove.

- Click the Apply and Ok button.

- Restart your system

This will result in your Windows XP computer booting much faster than before!

With the rise in laptop thefts, it has been difficult for an owner like you and me to keep track of your lost equipment and retrieve it. What is the best way to keep your machine safe? Kensington lock? But that has to be bought separately and there are all the chances of your precious system getting damaged if the thief tries to pull out the lock. So, do we have an alternative? Yes, we do. Give way to Adeona, an Open Source system created by researchers from the University of Washington and the University of California, San Diego which can track your lost or stolen laptop.

How does Adeona Work?

So, what are the good things of using this tracking system? It is easy to install and the download and installation is all that you need to do (which is free), you don’t have to rely on a third-party. It is quite safe as only the owner (or someone the owner designates) can use the tracker. So, your privacy is maintained. The best feature about Adeona is that it runs in the background and does its work at random intervals, where it uploads the encrypted data about the location and status of your machine to an off-site storage. It takes lot of steps to keep the data anonymous, private and encrypted.

The working of Adeona is simple. The location checks are as frequent as every 30 minutes. Each time Adeona runs, it collects your machine’s internal IP address from the operating system, the external IP address from a third-party reporting service, the name (if any) of the wireless network to which it is connected, the names of nearby routers as reported by traceroute, and (if available) a photo via iSight camera (which is private too). It stores this information securely in an encrypted local cache. At some random point in the future, report is then uploaded to the distributed storage service OpenDHT network.

With other tracking systems, the main problem area is the privacy part of it and which is everyone’s concern. But Adeona takes care of that problem effectively. The other systems when tracking the location, tracks the location even when the owner uses it, which might result in this information being passed onto a third-party. This can be misused by even service providers not affiliated to the tracking device.

The only problem which users find in Adeona is with the OpenDHT network, which shows up error messages at times. But this issue is also short lived as the makers of Adeona are trying to make it compatible with networks like the Azureus DHT module.

Overall, Adeona is more than just a precautionary measure. It ensures your privacy and also makes the retrieval of a lost machine lot easier. Getting such a device at this price is definitely worth it.

Download Adeona now.
