Collection of useful command line utilities (32bit):

  • PosSize: changes size and position of the active window, multimonitor. I use it with HotkeyP (http://petr.lastovicka.sweb.cz/others.html) for the WIN+Numpad-keys
  • KeybLed: displays the current status of keyboard lock keys in the system tray.
  • NetTime: synchronize the PC clock with any SNTP server.
  • SendKey: Keyboard macros, program/windows-based.
  • DirDate: sets the date of directories.
  • Drives: shows for each active drive (if disk inserted!) a small icon in the tray.
  • PInput: Password entry for BATCH files and programs.
  • CDInfo: reads information of a music CD from the internet (freedb.org) to the clipboard.
  • SysUtil: some system functions: empty trash, reboot, shutdown etc.
  • TempDel: deletes whole directory structures (like the old DELTREE.EXE).
  • ToClip: sends a string (command line) to the clipboard
  • ToIni: writes data (command line) to an INI-file
  • File2Clip: sends a textfile to the clipboard

for a short help: start the program without command line parameters!

QtWeb v3.8.5

billon on 4 Feb 2017
  • 8MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 9 Sep 2013
  • Suggested by I am Baas

QtWeb is a web browser focused on strong privacy and a clean environment. While running, no traces are left on the host machine while browsing and none are left behind after a browser "reset" in the privacy menu. All toolbars, including navigation bar, can be turned off or docked anywhere, and even moved outside the main browsing window. Includes built-in support for Torrent downloads and ad-blocking functionality can be easily enabled.

Based on Qt framework and Apple's WebKit rendering engine (also used by Apple Safari).

Security note: development of this browser appears to have stalled and the software may be subject to security vulnerabilities.

Not bad but can't work with Java.

ttttt11111 on 2013-09-17 17:14

I was worried that QtWeb was as dead as K-meleon. It hadn't been updated in more than a year. Thankfully, I was wrong.

QtWeb makes for a great secondary browser or portable browser, or even as a primary browser if you don't like bloatware. It's small and fits on a flash ram of at least 2GB, and contains all modern web technologies except java.

The lack of java isn't a problem for those who don't visit sites laden with that crap. It works with adobe flash, so youtube and other sites work fine.

The only downside to QtWeb is a lack of plugins or extensions. It would be nice to have an adblocker (especially for youtube) or other content blocker.

I adjusted the entry for the fact that Qt is now a publicly traded company, no longer owned by Digia. (Funnily enough, it's traded in Nasdaq Helsinki, of all stock exchanges...)

I think that the new release 2.35 is nagware and writes rubbish in the registry... The settings are saved locally, and the size of the application is about 2 MB.

PageDefrag from SysInternals?

Tomas on 2010-11-11 13:26

Well, I was using that kind of software on my Windows95 back in the 90's and I must say that it REALLY HELPED A LOT. I first got the registry cleaned of unnecessary entries and then defragmented them, making the registry files [USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT - I think :-) ] MUCH SMALER, resulting in better performance in overall. I hope this is gonna be what I get after trying this stuff for the first time "outside" the W95, wish me luck ;-D

FastStone Capture v5.3

  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 12 Feb 2007

FastStone Capture is a powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility. It allows you to capture anything on the screen including windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. It has innovative features such as a floating Capture Panel, hotkeys, resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, e-mailing, screen magnifier and many more.

Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.

Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.

@jimdorey: I'm a little confused why we had a listing that this works with Win10 -- it really doesn't. When this version of the program stopped being developed, Win7 wasn't even out yet. Anyway, I recommend trying another software package for that OS. I've updated the entry.

joby_toss on 2016-06-02 11:49

@jimdorey: v5.3 works fine on my win 10 x64 using a 1080p screen resolution. Maybe you're using a high DPI screen/4k monitor, and only the last version (8.4, payware, but worth every penny) works fine in that case.

Don't care for FSC freeware near inaudible screenshot audio cue ?

ClipSecure v1.2

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013

ClipSecure is a simple text and file encryption utility that uses automatic compression and many industry-standard algorithms, including AES. The text encryption operates within the Windows clipboard, and therefore can be used within any text-based program and most email clients. File encryption includes file wipe capability and is intended primarily for files under 10 megs.

One of the best in this category, but it does not support unicode.

ed on 2007-09-01 04:51

I have been using ClipSecure for over a year now, and I love it. I use it for my emails with my family and to secure my confidential documents on my portable USB dive when I travel. I keep a copy on the drive and load it onto any computer I use at any net cafe. I am not a sophisticated user, and it is very convenient and user friendly for me.
