MetaPath v4.0.13

Checker on 24 Jun 2012
  • 122KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by ashghost

Metapath is designed to be a slim file browser, set to open every file with the same application (i.e. a text editor). You can, however, change this setting so that each file opens with its Windows default application, or you can right-click on a file to choose the set application. Simple file manager actions are provided (copy, move, create link, rename, delete, save as...) along with the ability to set a filter and sort by name, file-type, size, or date.

It integrates well with Notepad2 and it's possible to add a "Browse" button to the toolbar, which brings up Metapath (if stored in the same directory.)

The setting for the "target application" (the default application with which to open every file) takes a standard relative path, but the location settings for a "quick viewer" and the "Favorites" folder do not. For example, "\Apps\UniversalViewer\Viewer.exe", but not "..\UniversalViewer\Viewer.exe".

Category:
Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
Path portability: Requires manual entry of relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: Freeware/Open Source
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch metapath.exe.
What's new?
  • Move window to default position (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Improved compatibility with Windows 7
  • Released x64 build of metapath.exe

This little utility does have some potential.
There are some problems though, things like it's not very portable, you can't enter 'relative' paths for things like the viewer, it needs to have a drive letter.
It doesn't show the file extensions.
If you want to use a text editor other than 'Notepad2', well, tough.
You don't seem to be able to select multiple files to copy or move.

I'll keep an eye on this, if it can be improved then i could use it.

Flush Flash is a simple way to remove all Flash cookies and improve your privacy. More advertisers are using Flash cookies in wake of more users removing those normally on the browser. The program is a much faster and easier way versus Adobe's own Settings Manager.

Removing Flash cookies is not enough.
What about the HTML5 varieties, the Silverlight, the ETAgs, etc?

Midas on 2012-05-28 13:24

Nice find juvera. That Evercookie site seemed bent on making itself it own proof of concept -- as I have flash execution blocked, it tried (unsuccessfuly, alas) to spawn a new flash object every few seconds... (See http://minus.com/l5ecx3WJdYUWs)

CHReader v0.9.4

Checker on 15 Mar 2014
  • 566KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

CHReader collects a group of related web files along with images, resources, etc. to a single compressed archive up to 4GB. The program then acts as a dedicated local web server and lets you browse the archive locally using your preferred web browser without needing to decompress. This way you can retrieve very large sites with web spiders and keep them in a compact form that can be readily viewed or referenced..

Note: The main website is offline and the project is no longer under development by the author. Linking to Softpedia. (Thanks to Midas and Craunch.)

The instructions no longer seem valid (there is no $_OUTDIR directory for example) and the download link is is now http://www.vibestreamer.com/downloads/

Though the version number seems to match. Strange.

Midas on 2015-04-19 23:50

Thanks, download link corrected. :)

smaragdus on 2015-04-21 00:28

It's a pity Vibe Streamer has been discontinued. The developer open-sourced it- https://github.com/versionstudio/vibestreamer , but its very unlikely that someone will take over the project. For me Vibe Streamer has two major flaws- it doesn't support Unicode and it can stream only lossy MP3s.

ADRC Data Recovery Tools v1.1

  • 146KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 19 Jun 2008
  • Suggested by AlephX

ADRC Data Recovery Tools contains a collection of data recovery tools that supports a wide variety drives and file systems. It enables you to undelete files, create a disk image for backup, restore a backup image, copy files from hard disk with bad sectors, clone a disk, backup/edit/restore your boot parameters etc. As with most tools of this nature, administrator privileges are required to use the tools.

Note: ADRC Data Recovery Tools has the annoying habit of opening its user guide on the web in the web browser on startup. This behaviour cannot be disabled. It is not as stealthy as phoning home without your knowledge, but can be irritating.

It doesn't produce a bit-stream copy (forensic safe). I restored a forensic safe image of a drive and then create an image with this software. I computed the hash values for the images, they don't match. I am albeit leary of this.

clement on 2010-07-25 10:07

I think to produce a forensic copy, you will need to connect the drive to a write block device. You can not use software this way to produce a forensic image.

dany on 2011-11-30 22:43

Note 2: apart from being irritating, it kinda defies the whole purpose of data recovery...

BFilter v1.1.4

webfork on 6 Jul 2016
  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 8 Jun 2008
  • Suggested by Fluffy

BFilter is a filtering web proxy originally intended for removing banner ads only, but since then its capabilities have been greatly extended. It detects web ads "heuristically," or similar to modern anti-virus software, as opposed to using blacklists, resulting in much more consistent behavior.

Note: Configuring a portable browser to use BFilter works flawlessly as long as BFilter is running, though it is not recommended to do this with a browser on the host computer. Configuration instructions can be found here.

to find out if it worked, just disable it, and then goto whatsmy.net and see what your ip is, and then reactivate it, and then goback to whatsmy.net and see if your ip changed, if it did, it worked.

Banshee on 2007-10-05 02:30

What rot! A local proxy server is not going to change your public IP address!??!!?

Go to cracks.am if you see lots of porn movies, it isnt working.

Banshee: by definition only a REMOTE proxy server would change your IP.
