Dr. File Finder's Picks

Reviews of Excellent Software

by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder ™

Reviewed This Week......


Reviewed by Dr. File Finder
Greetings, and welcome back!! I'm really glad you stopped by to take a look at this weeks Picks. As you may or may not know, I'm in Colorado and we just had the storm of the century. The worst blizzard since 1913. So, the roads are impassable, my home is surrounded by drifts that are five feet high, and all the roads are closed. And to top it off, I can't get online. So, I decided this was the perfect time to write my Picks! All of them are excellent, so if you're ready, lets take a look!

  • AntiSpy Pro
  • Version: 1.01
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

    AntiSpy Pro, by DevelopEx, is a nifty utility that helps keep the things you consider private just that - private! And I found that unlike many similar products, this program is designed to really cover all the bases. To begin with, it can clear the entire history kept in your Web browser. And, the program supports Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla, and America Online. Very slick. It can also take care of files you've downloaded, Web browser plug-ins, cookies, and the Internet cache. One very nice feature is that it also allows you to eliminate things based on date and will also let you create a list of items that should be excluded. But AntiSpy Pro doesn't stop there!

    AntiSpy Pro, continues to provide protection by going the extra mile. For example, it can remove the histories of files you've searched for, or opened. It can also eliminate your "tracks" from such things as RealPlayer, ACDSee, the Windows "Start Menu", and even from various "messenger" programs. Really excellent, but there's still more! The program supports a host of plug-ins for other popular programs like KaZaa, WinZip, and many others. And at the same time you can even create your own plug-ins, using tools the program provides, for a truly customized purpose. You can eliminate things from the Windows Registry (be careful there), off any of your drives, and lots more. Still don't think your privacy is private enough? Well, AntiSpy Pro has you covered because if all the rest wasn't enough, it also has a feature to "shred" and "wipe" files so nothing can be restored. Excellent!

    AntiSpy Pro, by DevelopEx, is a powerful tool for anyone that wants to remove evidence from a PC of what they've used, what they've searched for, where they've been, and more. Believe me, when this baby is done working you won't know where you've been. It does a very fast, efficient, and thorough job. And I like the fact that it's very flexible and supports programs that no similar product I've seen does. I've looked at a number of similar programs and this is the best I've found. So, if you're an individual or within a business and there are things you want to keep private,this is the program to try. Check it out!


  • Blaze TrayAudio
  • Version: 3.0
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
  • Get more info.
  • Download Blaze TrayAudio NOW!

    Blaze TrayAudio, by Mystik Media, is a neat little program for making the most of all your sounds files. One of the things I like best about this product is that doesn't hog system resources yet it still provides you with what you want. It handles an impressive list of sound formats, including MP3, CDA, MP2, SND, MIDI, WMA, AIF, AIFF, AU, and more. And it's loaded with features so you can get the most out of your music. It has an intuitive interface that's extremely easy-to-use and that makes it perfect for both new and experienced users. It has all the buttons and functions you'd expect in a good music player. So, I'll tell you about some of the features I like best.

    Blaze TrayAudio lets you play songs the way you want to. The program makes it easy to create "playlists" of all the songs you like best. Creating and saving playlists is nice, because you can load one of these and get back to what you were doing. One neat feature in Blaze TrayAudio is that you can actually save your playlists as HTML files. Very slick! Another cool feature found in playlists is that they are self-maintaining. That is to say that the program will remove files that are no longer on your computer or any duplicates. When the music starts to play, the program is outta there and resides in the Windows system tray. And, while in the tray you can access a good number of functions by right-clicking on the tray icon. Very nicely done.

    Blaze TrayAudio, by Mystik Media, is a program that performs a function and performs it well! It has all the features most people would want without making you run out to buy more RAM. It makes it easy to create, save, load, and use playlists. It come with all of the standard buttons, but also has a mute button, a balance control, and a nice 'slider' for controlling volume. And, it also supports "skins" so you can easily change the way the program looks. So, if you're looking for a program for playing your music files take a really good look at this one. It's one of the best you'll find. Very nicely done!


  • On-Time Operator
  • Version: 3.02
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
  • Get more info.
  • Download On-Time Operator NOW!
  • To see a screenshot of On-Time Operator, click here!

    On-Time Operator, by Isuru, is a powerful tool for running unattended operations under the Windows. The program has the facility to run a computer program, such as an executable program, at any predetermined interval. Intervals can be set by frequency, like every 30 minutes, or scheduled for a given time of day, like 3:00 p.m. Its intuitive graphical user interface allows the user to navigate the application and make selections. I found the interface to be very intuitive and the program is easy-to-use. Automatic file management is built right in to the main program. With this feature you can copy, move, rename, and even backup files and folders and do it all without supervision. You can also create folders, compare files and folders, and more. And, to help eliminate clutter, the program also purges unwanted items from its own schedule.

    On-Time Operator keeps a detailed log of all executed events. If desired, you can even have the program send you an email, telling you if a scheduled process was a success. Very slick! And besides file management, there are also an impressive number of add-on features available. These add-on modules are sold separately so you can have exactly the ones you want - a nice idea.The add-on functions are distributed as DLL files that, when placed in the On-Time Operator folder, immediately give the program that new function. Just a few of the add-on features include, File Transfer Protocol Client, Network File Transfer, Pop-up Exterminator, File Transfer Protocol Server, and more. Quite impressive.

    On-Time Operator, by Isuru, is a program that's powerful, yet also easy-to-use. It's ideal for businesses, or for anyone who needs to be able to run functions totally unattended. And while the base program supports file management, the program provides a way, through add-ons, to have On-Time Operator control a large number of functions. It keeps a log of what it does and can even notify you by email. The program works extremely well and can make you more productive. So, if you're looking for a tool that can run programs and more totally unattended, then this is a product you need to look at! Give it a try!


    Well, once again we've come to the end of the reviews for this week. I truly hope you enjoyed reading about these Picks. I know that I really enjoyed evaluating them and writing about them. All of them are really excellent and well worth the download time. I'll be back next week with more great Picks to tell you about. First, I have to bundle up and get outside and try to clear away some of this snow. If you've never seen snow drifts five and six feet deep, you don't know what you're missing. Anyway, I'll return next week with more good programs to tell you about. Until then, have a wonderful week and happy downloading!
