Windows Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista

October 19, 2009, 14:37(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

HappyAndyK from over at The Windows Club let me know about a new cool tool. It’s called Windows Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista.

We are pleased to release Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista. While you can use Control Panel to change settings which control nearly everything about how Windows looks and works, in some cases to access these very controls , or the in-built Windows programs, requires you to engage in multiple clicks or know their names. Windows Access Panel v 1.0 is meant to minimize your trouble in accessing such programs. It has been tested on Windows 7 & Windows Vista…With this program, you have all, or at least most of such programs at your fingertips. The present download is for 32-bit version only; 64-bit version will be added soon.

It looks to be quite a handy tool, I look forward to trying it out once a 64-bit version is released.

New Firefox Stuff

Mozilla now has a Firefox Plugin Check page. Pretty nifty time-saver. This feature will be part of Firefox 3.6.

Mozilla now also has what they call a Full Security Suite. A must have collection of security addons for the security minded. Check on the Firefox collections page for more cool collections.

FREE – Acronis True Image WD Edition

I found this at Techbargains. I have no idea what the difference between this version and the pay-for version is, if any. I’m assuming it checks to see if your disks are Western Digital. Hit the link below to download the software and be sure to download the manual too.

MyDefrag v4.0 (formerly JkDefrag)

July 18, 2009, 16:29(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

The long-awaited version 4 is finally out. The program is now called “MyDefrag”, because it has a scripting language and you can customize just about every aspect of it. It is no longer the “JK” (Jeroen Kessels) defragger, but “my” (your) defragger!…
JkDefrag is a disk defragmenter and optimizer for Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008/X64. Completely automatic and very easy to use, fast, low overhead, with several optimization strategies, and can handle floppies, USB disks, memory sticks, and anything else that looks like a disk to Windows. Included are a Windows version, a commandline version (for scheduling by the task scheduler or for use from administrator scripts), a screensaver version, a DLL library (for use from programming languages), versions for Windows X64, and the complete sources.
