Autoruns v9.37

December 20, 2008, 13:08(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns v9.37: This update adds support for viewing the Local System account’s profile and adds a new option, Hide Microsoft and Windows Entries.

Songbird 1.0 Released, and it Rocks!

December 2, 2008, 18:02(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Songbird 1.0 Release Announcement
Songbird Features Page (must see!)
Download Songbird 1.0
For those who don’t know, Songbird is an “open-source customizable music player”. It’s like iTunes but IMHO, far better and without the iGarbage. I had intended to post a review but because of work I just haven’t had the time to write it. So I’ll just leave you with a few thoughts.
-It is wicked fast.
-It is highly customizable for both operation and looks.
-Works perfectly with my iPod Nano (1st Generation).
-There is a Linux version, I haven’t had time to mess with it. (not in the openSUSE repos yet either)
-I haven’t used Songbird since, oh, about version .5ish. All-in-all I’m highly impressed with version 1.0.
-Finally, uh, could we get a not-so-cute version of the icon??? 😉

If you are using it please share your thoughts.
