Very nice idea, but half-assed execution. Resizes windows that are not supposed to be resized, including tooltips, even when scrolling list boxes where tooltips appear for long lines, which partially leads to application crashes. |
File Splitter Lite is a small and fast program which allows you to split a copy of a large file into smaller segments. You may then easily transfer the segments to another computer and use File Splitter Lite or a self-joining batch script to reconstruct the original file.

ip2c (IP address to country) helps determine the country associated with a specific address by querying the five main WHOIS servers responsible for major world regions. The program tries to establish the most authoritative location for the IP specified and then return the country's two-letter TLD, the extended country name, its world region, and a description of the organization managing IP (when available).
The program can also process a list of IPs stored in a comma delimited file and generate a new file with the country fields added to it. The program is fast, multi-threaded, and queries all the servers in parallel to speed up the overall response time.

I've used this years before but after re-checking it I was kind of surprised there was no WPM (Words Per Minute) counter anywhere, instead only CPM (Characters Per Minute) is listed. Have read elsewhere that WPM is CPM/5 but it would be preferable to be displayed within such a program. |

Theoretically the same as 1.2.17, but with the source code scrubbed for release. This is built from the GPL'd code, available in the companion directory. Version 1.2.17 The idea to hide the iconbar when focus is lost was a bad one. This version does *not* hide the iconbar automatically. |

OK managed to get a register code; use it once and hey presto away you go. BUT the code is written o a local gsview.ini which also incorporates named drive letters. Move your USB stick to another host machine where it will very likely be named differently and gsview.ini is suddenly broken -- you have to supply the reg code again. Very VERY annoying; not true portable freeware, at all ...

List Numberer allows you to create a text number listing in various customizable ways. The program is useful for automatically numbering lists where Word and many other programs only create number systems according to predefined formats.
Choose starting number, customizable increments (e.g. 1, 2, 3; 1, 3, 5; 1, 4, 7), prefixes and suffixes to numbers (e.g. A-1, 2B, etc.), and the ability to strip leading numbers (for already numbered lists that need to be fixed), restart numbering for blank lines, and more.

When creating a numbered list, most text editors are remarkably short on intelligent options and manual entry isn't an option. Although it doesn't support any advanced formatting that other programs use, text-only means it works for every editor and not just Word / Wordpad. |
Real Temp is a monitoring program designed to see the temperature of all Intel "Core" processors including Core 1, 2, i3, i5, and i7 processors. Each core has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports data relative to the safe maximum operating temperature, known as "TjMax". As your CPU heats up, your "Distance to TjMax" will decrease.
As these processors will start to throttle or slow down as they approach their maximum temperature, it's possible to have a computer that slows down dramatically. To increase speed and reliability, a good TjMax distance is ideal.
The program also supports full logging, temperature alarms and shutdown, and the ability to calibrate for each core of your CPU.

ActiveXHelper allows you to view essential information about ActiveX components installed on your computer. You can view the entire and very large list of ActiveX components by loading it from the registry key (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID) or alternatively display only the ActiveX components that you specify.
In addition, you can temporarily disable specific ActiveX components so they cannot be used by any software until you enable them again.

"Desktop Calendar and Desktop Info appear to be attached to the desktop and technically they are. However they still disappear when you click the "Show Desktop" button in the Quick Launch toolbar. This is correct behaviour according to Windows; it's just very annoying. Presently, there's nothing you can do about this."

Eclipse quickly encrypts/decrypt text, useful for adding security to instant messaging and email conversations. A customizable hotkey system (by default Ctrl+Shift+E) works on highlighted text to copy encrypted text to the clipboard after prompting for a password. Secure text can then be pasted into any editor or application and then decrypted via the same method.
The program is an interface for a command-line utility called MySecret, which uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm. Eclipse is written in AutoHotkey.

Version 2.2.6 - 20 / 5 / 2011 Few minor bugs were fixed and the installer was improved. Improvements since v2.1: Gif optimization options are all selected by default. Piv files are loaded faster since the timeline frames are re-drawn faster. There are 2 new buttons to move the current figure in front or behind the other figures. This is useful when there are multiple figures with different colours. Piv and Stk files can now be opened by dragging them over the pivot.exe icon or double clicking on them. See below for how to associate the files with pivot. |
