When you “delete” a file normally, the operating system simply hides the file, and marks disk area occupied by the file as empty. The file data remains until the area is overwritten. It can be easily recovered by freely available utilities. AccessProof is a free program that overwrites the file data prior to deleting the file, making data recovery impossible.

Features:

* Overwrites to cluster boundary, which cleans the “file slack” as well as obscures the exact length of original file
* Two secure overwrite methods, the standard DoD 5220.22M as well as the Gutmann method for extra protection
* Overwrites file names, as they may give clues to contents of deleted files
* Cleans remnants of previously deleted files from free space
* Simple, intuitive interface takes no time to get going
* Easily process many files at once with add by directory
* Pause and Resume large jobs if you need to use the computer
* Written in C++, so it takes up only 56 KB of disk space — smaller than most web photos!
* Does not require installation or registry modification, carry it with you on a thumb drive
* Spyware, malware, virus, and adware free (would hardly fit in a 56 KB program)
* Available for 100% free download, no registration required

Remind-Me-Please is a freeware reminder program which will give you advance warning of upcoming events, appointments, TV programs, movies, birthdays and so on. Enter one-off or repeating events: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and specials like ´Every two weeks from 1/1/2005´ or ´Third Sunday of each month´.

Once it´s set up properly it´ll give you a splash screen listing all upcoming events whenever you reboot your computer, followed by a splash screen for items due NOW.
As an added bonus, this program will also run in a networked environment. You can allocate a username to each machine and point each one to a central shared database. Anyone can then enter ´SHARED´ events (e.g. Family outings, company meetings) which will show up on everyone else´s screen. Private reminders will only show on the PC which they were entered on

UltraExplorer is the testbed for Mustangpeak Delphi and CBuilder Components. It is designed to be the ultimate File Manager for Microsoft Windows.

The user interface is completely customizable. You can hide or show as many of the featured windows, dock them in other places or let them float as free standing windows. The same is true for the tool bars as well. You can even move buttons from toolbars to other toolbars and assign your own short cuts keys.

Some of the key features of UltraExplorer are:

* Drop Stack Window - Drop blocks of files into the drop stack for quick access later
* Favorites Window - Build a favorites tree with any object you like from the shell. The tree is fully aware of drag and drop and the clipboard. Use the objects in the favorites tree just like the normal treeview and listview controls.
* Command Line Window - Can´t give up DOS and a command line? UltraExplorer has a built in command line window that stays synced with the current view of the application.
* Filter Window - Too many files to find what you want? Use UltraExplorers Filter window. Create new filter arguments by:
o dragging and dropping objects to the window
o using the selected objects in the active listview
* Folders Window - Ultra fast Folder treeview that is positionable anywhere in the application.
* History Window - User defined level of previously browsed folder. Objects in this window can be used just as in the treeview or listviews, drag drop and clipboard aware.
* Listview Window - A secondary listview window that can be used identical to the fixed listview. Allows for a dual listview display if desired.
* Tabbed Folders - There are several ways to create a new tab
o Simply press the Control key when clicking on a folder and the folder is browsed in a new tab.
o CTRL-T creates a clone of the current tab (CTRL-W closes the current tab)
o Use the menu item in the Main Menu under “File”
o Use the right mouse click context menu while hovering over the Tabs
* Task Window - The Task window accepts plug in DLLs to extend UltraExplorer beyond its powerful built in capablilites. The DLL can be built in Borland Delphi and distributed separately. All that is necessary is the DLL file be places in the Plug In folder within the UltraExplorer install folder and the plugin will be available to the user.
