Yes, I did as a matter of fact. My boot time before was around 2:40. After using Soluto it's now 1:19. It's a nice little program.

BlueScreenView v1.27

View BSOD (blue screen) crash information stored in dump files.

Quote:
BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).
For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane. BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly caused the crash.
You can download from here.

GiMeSpace Free Edition

So you need a large screen to be able to splash your app windows all over the place. You don't want to Alt+TAB to cycle them, you don't want to search the taskbar for minimized apps .... You just want to scroll your mouse to the next app window "on" the screen ...

How about giving GiMeSpace Free Edition a spin?

Quote:
How it works:
- Very simple, just move the mouse cursor to the left or right edge of your screen and you will notice that your desktop extends beyond the borders of your screen!
You will only see this when another window is open! Some maximized windows do not scroll, restore them to normal size and size them with the mouse to maximum size. Now you can have many (unlimited) windows open next to each other and just move the mouse to switch between them. Just like having many extra monitors next to each other!

- When the Scroll lock key is on, the screen will not scroll any more. Turn it off when you want to scroll again. (finally this key has a function!)
The Scroll Lock key is on a laptop usually under another key and can be activated by using the 'Fn' key.
- To exit this program, right click on the GiMeSpace icon in the system notification area on the taskbar and select 'exit'.
- If you are getting lost, right click on the GiMeSpace icon and select 'collect windows'. All the windows will appear on your screen.
Enjoy!

Works great for my 12.1"

VistaSwitcher 1.1.3

Quote:


VistaSwitcher is a well-designed Alt+Tab replacement that makes it easier to locate and switch to the application you need. (And, despite the name, it runs on XP, Vista and Windows 7.)

Once installed, simply press Alt+Tab, and you'll see a straightforward list of running applications, complete with icons. No need for repeated Alt+Tabbing, here: just hover the mouse cursor over the one you require, or use the arrow keys to select it, and that app will be switched to the foreground immediately.

If you're running multiple instances of a program and can't tell which is which, then that isn't a problem. VistaSwitcher displays a preview of each task window, so in most cases you'll be able to pick out the one you need at a glance.

The VistaSwitcher console additionally gives you access to the standard Windows options for each application: miminise, maximise, restore, close, cascade and so on. And you can select multiple windows and apply the same action to each, so perhaps close several applications all at once.

And the program also supports a useful new keyboard shortcut, in Alt + `. Press this and you'll switch between open windows of the same application: all your Word documents, Internet Explorer windows, whatever it might be. It's a real time-saver.

Parted Magic 5.2 (ISO)

Can't find any simpler tool that this - create, copy, move, expand, shrink or delete partitions; or securely wipe a hard drive, ensuring any personal information has gone forever.

The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Clonezilla, Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.

Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 256MB of RAM to operate or 128MB in "Live" mode.

Features
Format internal and external hard drives.
Move, copy, create, delete, expand & shrink hard drive partitions.
Clone your hard drive, to create a full backup.

Keyboard LEDs

Pain when you don't know if the NumLock key is being on (of off as intended)

Quote:
My netbook has only Caps Lock LED indicator and it is always hidden under my right hand. Oksana's netbook doesn't have LED indicators at all. New software drivers shows on screen notification when user presses the lock key, but just in few minutes nobody can remember current states keyboard locks. So I've created a small Keyboard Leds software to solve this issue. It took just a couple of hours during one night at Cyprus
