Ever had the need to upload a screenshot of your PC quickly? Sure the native Windows Snip Tool is good and SnagIt is even better. But what if you just need to quickly take a shot and upload it without any editing or pasting into Paint first?
Gyazo is a Seriously Fast Screenshot Sharing Application

Automatically Download the Latest Security Software with SSDownloader
On July - 27 - 20101 COMMENT
If you are the one who always helps your friend to reformat/reinstall Microsoft Windows on their PC or laptop, most likely you will have their Windows equipped with at least a free anti-virus software (so they will not bug you anymore to do the reinstallation due to incurable viruses), and a couple of maintenance tools for some advanced users. However, since there are new threats and viruses appearing everyday, and the security software companies always have their product updated every week or so, you can’t really (unless you have too much free time) keep your downloaded security software installer updated. Not only that, I have actually quite a number of friends having different preferences on the anti-virus/anti-malware software, so again you can’t really satisfy them all (again, unless you have too much free time).

LockThis! – Password Protect Single Applications
On June - 13 - 20108 COMMENTS
A few weeks back you got to read about a small utility that allows you to lock your keyboard and mouse when leaving your computer on (Read here). And a while back, I told you about Predator which allows you to lock your Computer using a USB Flash Drive (Read Here). This time I\’m bringing you a way to lock single applications, so that you can leave your computer on for others to use, and at the same time protect running applications from tampering or accidental shut-down.

RB-Tray Minimizes Your Programs to the System Tray
On May - 20 - 20105 COMMENTS
Sometimes I would like to minimize a running application to the Tray instead of the common Taskbar position. A quick search on the net gave me a few solutions to choose from. The one I ended up with is a small freeware utility that is totally invisible and has both 32-bit and 64-bit support.
It’s a small script that add Right-Click Functionality to the minimize button, while keeping the Normal Setting using the Left-Click.

I’m sure you have a MP3-Player of sorts. Most players have a mini USB plug that allows you to connect it to a computer. But what If it doesn’t ? Or what IF you don’t want to use any software players ?
Windows 7 have a feature called: “Listen To Device”. What it does is let you connect your mp3-player (iPod, Zune, mobile phone, etc.) to the Line-In port (using the Jack Contact), and directly pass the music through to the Computers Speakers. Without using any software player.
Here’s how:
