Slawdog Smart Shutdown
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  This is the one!  qright

Slawdog Smart Shutdown version 2005
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I tried several other free auto shutdown utilities and this was easily the best. It can be hidden from users if you want it to be and it shuts down the PC correctly (unlike some others that required a repair of the broken desktop on reboot and so forth.) It works as advertised. What more could you ask for?

MJ Registry Watcher
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Best of it's kind!  qright

MJ Registry Watcher version 1.2.4.5
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I have been using MJ Registry Watcher for a while and its my belief that it is the best freeware registry watching software currently available. An added bonus is that it also monitors changes to important system files. It is extremely customizable, so it can monitor as little or as much as the user wishes. FWIW, I think its highly worthwhile going to the authors website and visiting the 2 Wilders Security links he has listed there (for a good understanding of how Registry Watcher was developed and how it compares to some other similar programs.) (Be sure to read the bundled MJRegWatchHelp.txt file too.) FWIW, its my opinion that Registry Watcher is not for PC beginners. One needs at least a basic understanding of the registry. I also recommend running Registry Watcher in Accept Mode when one first starts running it. This gives one a chance to see how Registry Watcher works and learn how to interact with it. No doubt in my mind that Registry Watcher on my PCs makes them safer!

TrueCrypt
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  A big thumbs up!  qright

TrueCrypt version 4.1
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Glad to see TrueCrypt added here at Snapfiles. TC is just an excellent program. If you need encryption for your personal data (and IMO, we ALL do!) and can use a container type encryption program, this is the one! Very highly recommended!

qleft  Great program!  qright

Posteriza version 1.1.10
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5

A really nice find! Very easy to use. I had an insignificant issue with an earlier version and the developer responded right away with a fix. You cannot ask for more! If you need posters, this is the way to print them.

Startup Delayer
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Excellent software!  qright

Startup Delayer version 2.1.10
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I have been looking for something like this for quite a while. I had a PC that wouldn't boot correctly once in a while and all the stuff starting at boot was not getting along very well. Startup Delayer solved it from the first moment I tried it. Just excellent software!!!
