The daily use of applications are limited to just a few programs, such as web browsers, audio/video players, email clients or games, though the number of programs installed on the system is much bigger. A defrag tool, registry cleaner or hard disk clutter cleaner are instruments you run every once in a while. Program... |

On a daily basis, we use a third or less of all the applications installed on the system, but the situation changes when it comes to particular work. For example, how often do you use a system cleaner, or defragmenter? Such applications are obviously a must on your computer, but they are not for daily use, unless you... |

I have to admit that I am an occasional couch potato. I sometimes lay way back into the arms of the armchair (sic) with just my keyboard, especially when I'm reading a long text, watch some video or just browse a page or two; and life is good. Life stops being good when the text/movie is over and I have to use t... |

We often find ourselves in the situation where we don’t know where to look for a specific file or from where to access and launch a program. Many applications can help in this regard and lend a hand in arranging our shortcuts and keep them in order. Sure, we have our desktop or the quick launch space to do that... |

There are many ways to launch your shortcuts, access your files and folders or open your webpages. However, if you find a convenient way to do that and if it also involves an application that offers an impressive graphical User Interface, you might want to keep it. Such is the case with the software that we’re ... |

Every time we install a new application, a small footprint is added to start menu. Not many programs come with the option to erase or simply not create a Start Menu item. That is why it is hard to find a certain shortcut. I’ve seen a Start Menu that opened the Programs list over half the desktop space. In Windo... |

How many times did the standard Start Menu help you in finding the application you needed to run? How fast? I benefited from few such experiences because we all can agree upon one thing: the number of items from Start Menu is getting bigger every day. The more applications we run and install, the more items we add to... |

The general idea launchers are built on is helping users improve their daily workflow, by accessing favorite, most used files or particular applications - all with a few mouse clicks or with the use of a few keystrokes. Of course, there are launchers that provide more options to choose from, but the principle they al... |

In our daily work, there must be countless situations when we need to open a specific file that doesn’t have a desktop shortcut, launch a favorite website, search the web for a selected text string, or just shutdown the computer, and it all has to be done within a few mouse clicks. However, in many cases, using... |

Regardless of what you actually do when working on the computer, it most likely involves set-up time. Opening up the necessary applications and documents might not seem like much, however, do it enough times, and spend enough time doing it, and it will start adding up significantly. Of course, there are situations wh... |
