Not as good as free v2

Copernic Desktop Search

Interface: 4
Features: 3
Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

I was using v2 and "upgraded" to new "Home" version (v3). The new version seems to be a downgrade (i.e. removed features) on V2 so I uninstalled it and reloaded V2. The new "home" version should provide at least the same functionality and more whilst remaining free. Main features missing: Customisable preview pane, search as you type, ability to save searches. CDS v2 is, in my opinion, the best free desktop search tool, the new Home version (v3) isn't !!!

Excellent program but hogs processor.

SCREEN2EXE version 1.3

Interface: 3
Features: 4
Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

Screen2exe is an excellent program. It very efficiently captures the screen, mouse movements and clicks in real time and compresses the whole event into a relatively small EXE file. Best to zip up screen recordings with an explanation when sending via email as many Anti-Virus systems strip EXE files recipients might get suspicious. Having given this product a glowing reference I must state that on my system (1.6GHz, 1.28GB RAM) the program uses 95% of my processing power which causes the rest of the system to grind to a halt, the result of which makes the recording of an extremely slow system pointless. Maybe the author could respond to my comment.
