Sometimes, it’s much better to take the easy way out, and that’s what I usually try to do. Some call this laziness, I call it efficiency, but I have to admit that probably the truth is somewhere in between… and when it comes to the need to list folder contents, there’s only one path to [...]

I never managed to understand Zuma players, no matter how hard I tried. I even played that game for an hour or so, but still couldn’t figure out what’s so special about it. Probably that’s exactly what most people like about Zuma – its simplicity, and if this one won’t ever gain a place in [...]

“Free disk defragmenter for Windows? No way, there’s no such thing I can trust!” I guess you recognize these words… and if you never thought or said something like it, that’s even better! Speaking for myself, I used various commercial disk defragmenters for Windows in the late 90s and the first part of the current [...]

I don’t want to save the world, and if I could, I would do the same thing as you do with a drive that’s fragmented beyond any hope of recovery – format it! Anyway, if you’re the religious type, be glad that I am not God, but no matter if you believe in something or [...]

If I think well, virtually any forum on the Internet involving discussions about computers and software can’t avoid a topic about the best Internet browser, or at least one starting with a poll asking you about the browser you’re using. Now, this is nothing out of ordinary – there are also a lot of silly [...]

Having a clean Windows desktop can save somebody’s life one day, maybe even your life, and if you think I am joking, think about this: instead of missing your train and having to take a bus and then die in an accident, you will catch that train and arrive safely to the destination. That’s the [...]

I don’t know about you, but I would rather stop eating for three days instead of having to reinstall Windows on my computer (currently, I use Windows XP and Vista Ultimate, but I spend most of my time using the good old XP, as most people I know do). Why am I saying this? Well, [...]

Ever needed to split some large file? I am not talking about those times when you can easily create a multivolume archive, because sometimes you just don’t need a packer, and specialized file splitters can be faster than WinZip or WinRar when performing this task. For example, think about a 4GB ISO file that you [...]

As storage space available to most PC users grows, so does the need to check for duplicate files, especially when your 1 TB drive seems to be full, and you only keep a few games and a lot of family photos on it. When I say “a lot of family photos,” you have no idea [...]

I like people who keep the faith no matter what, but I also think you shouldn’t be faithful to any piece of code, because you could miss a lot, and Winamp/Windows Media Player vs. the world is a good example. This time, I won’t get that far, but we’ll talk about something even more popular [...]
