MyDefrag – Free Tool to Increase Hard Disk Speed and Life

Posted: 06 Jun 2010 08:14 AM PDT

As pin-pointed quite correctly in this blog post, one of the most important steps to keep your computer running fast for longer period of times is defragmentation. Windows comes with a built-in defragmenter. And like many of the default accessories in it, the defragmenter is also a huge disappointment. So here is a faster and free defragmenter called MyDefrag.

Whats Defragmentation?

For the uninitiated, defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file close together and contiguously. You can get an idea by observing the image to the right.

About MyDefrag

MyDefrag optimizes files, so that the files used regularly are stored at the beginning of the hard-disk (which is the more faster part of the hard-disk as compared to the rest of it.) Optimization will also bring all the files together in one place.

The increased speed translates to a longer life for your hard-disk as the disk will have less work to do and therefore have less wear and tear.

Features of MyDefrag:

Free!
Super-fast (as compared to many other defragmenters)
Many options
Different defragmentation methods for system disk and data disk
Ability to defragment Flash drives as well

The default installer comes with a set of easy to use scripts for end-users, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus command line version.

You can download the software from here. For more information visit it’s site – mydefrag.com or wikipedia page.

Posted: 06 Jun 2010 04:27 AM PDT

I have been using twitter for past six months. Its really a great serviceand it helps me to interact with my followers . Besides this , I am also great fan of some amazing twitter apps .Following are Twitter apps which i use regularly .

#1. Splitweet:

This application is used to combine multiple twitter profiles . We can post to an unlimited number of profiles from a central location. We can also track @replies and messages from the dashboard.

#2. FutureTweets

This application will automatically post messages at set times on your behalf. This is not for posting the same tweet over and over again.

#3. TwitBlock:

This application makes our twitter account free from spam. Big red block & report buttons help to keep Twitter clean.

#4. Twerpscan

This application is useful for managing and viewing detailed data on your followers or the people following you. Clean tables are sortable by followers/following, follow ratio, # of tweets, etc. Bulk unfollow or block if needed is very useful.

#5. Twiback:

This application is useful for managing your Twitter background image and profile photo. Through this we can also change the background of twitter at mentioned time .

Move any Program to System Tray with TrayIt!

Posted: 06 Jun 2010 02:20 AM PDT

When you have a number of programs running on your system for most part of the day, that surely doesn’t mean that you are working only on those programs throughout, rather they will stay idle for most part of the day, and you will need them only when you need to perform a related task. This increases the number of tabs in the taskbar and the amount of space the programs occupy is annoying!

TrayIt! is a handy tool that lets you organize your taskbar by providing you the functionality to choose the programs which you like to place in system tray. The app is made to place the minimized background programs on your system on to the system tray, where it takes the form of a small icon as in the screenshot above.

To put a program into system tray, right-click on the minimize button on the program and select “Place in System Tray“.

Another way to move the program to system tray is by directly selecting the program from the TrayIt application interface and then clicking on “Place in System Tray” button.

TrayIt also allows you to group similar programs together even in the system tray. When two or more similar programs are minimized to tray, then it creates a single icon for both of them. This will prevent the overuse of tray also.

Some of the other programs related features include – permanently keeping the program in system tray, hiding the program from system tray also, and some customizations related to TrayIt application itself. This is the simplest way to switch in between programs yet keeping the taskbar clean! Simply download it from the link below, extract it in the folder of your choice, and keep your taskbar neat! TrayIt! runs on Windows 95/98/Me, NT/2000/XP only.

Download: TrayIt!

Do you know any other application that performs similar task?
