What's inside your PC
If you want details about the inner workings of your PC or for the novice who doesn't know which Bios or Motherboard is installed this tells all. Plus they offer test and more.

Not sure if anyone recommend this one yet: I think it's nickname is, "Sandra."

O I forgot... This one is fun if you want to get rid of something "just add bleach!" It's called "Secretmaker" and when I've been naughty I can cover my tracks.

Hi shebe and welcome to TSG


On the link you posted for Sandra, all I see is the retail version.
Is there a freeware version?

Best of all, XBConnect is 100% legal.
Can I just Get this program and play free Xbox games?

AutoIt is good.

It provides a nice easy way to make programs quickly and without too much hassle.

I use 7-zip

Totally free, open source, and handles more formats than Winzip will

I like how it'll let you see inside an ISO, don't know if Winzip will do that

Movie Database
I download a lot of movies which I burn to dvd's. I tried a free program EMDB eric's movie data base which is really easy to use and saves a lot of typing and research time.
It will access IMDB and import all the information you need including a small preview cover art. The link below is from Snapfiles.

"EMDB is a small utility to keep track of your DVD collection. With an automatic import from the database of IMDB, cover preview, a loan tracker, search function and multi-language user interface."

Good Afternoon Jack .. Had to run to the store for a few

Yes I installed it and like it so far with no issues. Looks like its just a exe and some txt and html files.. Maybe 4 total. So I just deleted everything except the exacutable and put it in my C:\Utilitys\Misc ..... Folder
