I downloaded this little utility and was blown away with it's performance. If you get your desktop layout destroyed this little small utility will bring all your icons back to the right location. The ease of use and it's great ability to do what it says makes it a super (left click utility for the desktop). Don't know why you would ever want to uninstall it. Get it, you will love it!

Admitted the program needs a total GUI revamp. At first glance you cant figure out what to do first. The GUI could be made much smaller and less complicated to use. However after READING THE HELP doc's you become an expert in the programs use quite quickly. Guess that falls back on if you cant understand then read the instructions. However,I used the program on a drive with 6,000 images and 43 folders and subfolders and the program preformed flawlessly. You start by building a reference script data base file with the program that does all the work for you. You then tell the program to look through the data file for matches which it does quickly and gives you a percent match reference for all close similar picture files. Then you tell the GUI to display the pictures and it has a duel display window for visual compare with picture size and file size information. Program was very stable. Try it you will love the program.

I have been on a quest for years trying to find the best downloader. I have bought several only to find out later that the program was not as good as I thought. Most software developers only give you a 15 day trial these days and that is just not enough to fully test the software. I have fund bugs in the software after buying it and that kinda makes you very angry as no refund is available after purchase. Now.. I have been using Star Free Downloader for a year now and have had no problems with the software at all. It does what it says and preforms without flaw. Speed of downloading is unmatched by any other.. Believe me I have tried them all.. I have enjoyed using this software so much I am buying the Pro upgrade version. If you want a GREAT downloader package this software is for you! 1 out of 10 this software rates a 10++.. Nice work guys and a AWESOME downloader.. The fact that you can disable browser integration just by unchecking the tray icon activation is enough by itself!!

CheckFolder version 1.1.0.6

I downloaded this little utility to quick check fresh burned CD/DVD's to make sure all the data was recorded. Even though Nero does a check data after burn, I have found out that under some conditions you can still end up with a bad copy. This little utility takes all doubt out of the process. You can scan the orignal cd first or hard drive folder and then scan the copy. Installed and works clean. Wish it had a compare feature as well so you could match both input data with the output data if needed. Maybe next version.. Awesome little utility.. Try it you will love it.. Super fast file, folder and drive reads..

I used to think that a virus protection program had to be huge to do a good job against the little viri'.. AntiVir PE is small and does as good as Norton or McAfee. Heck maybe even better. I've been using it now for almost a year and it has saved me more times then I can remember. Didn't slow my system down at all unlike the resource hogs of Norton, McAfee, Etc. U can configure it to scan anything, any number of ways. Try it.. U will like it for sure.. Updates are frequent and fast for DSL.. It found a virus on a CD for me one time that Norton didn't see.. U can set it up to work COMMAND LINE SCAN with WinRAR with '-noboot -nombr -z' this will tell AVE32.EXE to not access the hard drive dirrectly and scan archive files. AVE32.EXE has to be downloaded from the support website. It's not included in the Install Pack. Download it and install into the AntiVir PE folder. BEST FREE VIRUS SCANNER/GUARD--BAR NONE!!
