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
Hey There, Welcome Back!
I'm so glad you stopped by to take a look at my Picks for this week. And boy what a busy week it's been too. My first grandchild was born on June 9th -- Cahlia Grace Allen, and she is beautiful. And on the 10th, I celebrated my birthday and my 26th wedding anniversary. So, it's been a very complete week for me. But, I still found time to write about some really good software programs that I think you'll like. So, if you're all set, lets take a look!

  • Tweaking Toolbox for Windows
  • Version: 2.0
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/
  • Get more info
  • Download Tweaking Toolbox for Windows NOW!

    Tweaking Toolbox for Windows, by Rose City Software, is a very cool program for making little changes to Windows. And I'm not talking about changing things like the colors. I'm talking stuff that would involve editing the Windows registry. And while I might feel comfortable doing that, it's not the kind of thing I'd recommend to most users. Tweaking Toolbox for Windows makes it safe, and easy!

    One feature that I really liked was the ability to edit things found under "My Computer." For example, I could easily change where Windows looks for the "My Documents" folder. Or the "My Pictures" folder. That means I can put them where I want them. Another cool function lets you determine what components load in Control Panel. So, say you don't want to see the component for "Scanners and Cameras." Just uncheck it and the next time you load Control Panel, that component won't be visible. Very cool! You can fiddle with the desktop, Internet Explorer, and even security options. The program lets you make little tweaks in the Start menu, in special folders, in Add/Remove programs, and lots, lots, more.

    Tweaking Toolbox for Windows, by Rose City Software, is a powerful program for manipulating settings in the Windows registry. What makes it very appealing is that it makes the entire process safe. Even a novice user can safely make changes and not have to worry about crashing their computer. So, if you'd like to make some changes and fiddle around with Windows, give it a try! You'll find it's intuitive and easy-to-use!


  • MemoryBoost Pro
  • Version: 2.0
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/
  • Get more info

    MemoryBoost Pro, by Rose City Software, is an excellent program for helping your computer to run better and faster. It seems like many people have problems with memory. Either too little, or too many programs going at one time. Another problem is that some programs stay in memory after you close them. That means the memory they used is still being used. MemoryBoost Pro takes care of that by freeing up that memory and letting you control it. I've participated in the beta tests of MemoryBoost Pro and I've really been impressed with the way it works and it takes quite a bit to impress me. It has some many excellent features that I'm just going to touch on some of them.

    MemoryBoost Pro is really loaded with great features. For one, it has a "Detective" section that shows you each program that's running and how much memory each program is using. This can be a huge help because you might decide to shut down some programs you have been running all the time that are real memory hogs. Another neat feature is that the program gives you real-time statistics on your memory usage. It shows you what resources you have free, how your CPU is doing, and lots more. One very cool feature is the ability to optimize how your computer utilizes memory. You can define how much is used by the cache, and more. And there's a handy wizard to take you through the entire process. Very nicely done! The program sits in your system tray, letting you know how much memory is available and even letting you give it a "boost" when needed.

    MemoryBoost Pro, by Rose City Software, is a powerful, full-featured program for managing your computers memory. At the same time, it's extremely easy-to-use. I personally think it's great for both new and experienced users. Experienced users can tweak it on their own, while novice users can feel secure knowing that the program will take care of things for them. The program provides you with plenty of information and helps keep your computer running smoothly. Back in the early 1980's someone said "You can never have too much RAM or too much disk space." Truer words were never spoken. So, if you'd like some help making your computer run faster and more efficiently, give MemoryBoost Pro a try. It's the best memory management program I've tried! Check it out for yourself.

  • CSS Quick Backup
  • Version: 2.20
  • System Requirements: Windows 98/NT4/2000/XP
  • Get more info or get it on CD
  • Download CSS Quick Backup NOW!

    CSS Quick Backup, by CSS Software, is a really slick program for backing up all of the important files and folders on your computer. The program is easy-to-use and has an intuitive interface. And that makes it perfect for both new and experienced users. And believe me, you can never have enough backups. Your backups should have backups. Some backup programs are designed to backup your hard drive to another location. CSS Quick Backup is designed to let you quickly backup the most important files on your machine. And CSS Quick Backup makes it easy to backup quickly. You create individual backup "jobs" using a handy "Jobs Wizard." So, for example, I selected the folder where all of my Picks files are stored. The program gives you lots of options like whether to password protect your backup, delete the original files afterwards, where the backups should be stored, and lots more. I created jobs for all of my most important folders. The ones that contain documents and other files that I wouldn't want to lose . The program is fast and very efficient! And creating "jobs" is a snap with the handy "wizards."

    CSS Quick Backup will let you run your jobs manually or you can schedule them. Another really cool feature is that it comes with CSS File Sentry. What's really neat about this is that you can pick specific files for the 'sentry' to monitor. And boy, does it monitor them. Each and every time you change any of those files, File Sentry makes a backup of it. This is perfect for making sure that you never lose really important documents. Every revision will be backed up, so you're always covered. I know, you're thinking that you run out of disk space because you have so many backups. Well CSS has you covered there too. You can actually tell the File Sentry to delete backups after a set number of days. Very cool. And at the same time, the program can also pack your backups into ZIP format files to save you space. Nicely done!

    CSS Quick Backup, by CSS Software, is a powerful backup tool that's intuitive to use. The Backup and Restore wizards are very good and guide you through each step. The program is loaded with options so you can handle backing up files and folders exactly the way you want to. The main interface shows you a history of all jobs and keeps track of each and every backup. And when you need it, the program makes it simple to restore an individual file or an entire folder. So, if you've been looking for a quick and easy way to backup, and protect, important files and folders, look no further! CSS Quick Backup does a beautiful job. Give it a try for your self. I recommend it!


    Well, that brings us to an end for this week. I hope you enjoyed reading about these Picks as much as I enjoyed writing about them. Remember, if you try a shareware program and find yourself using it, be sure to pay for it. In that way the shareware marketing concept works for all of us. I'd also like to that all of you who participated in the SIAF People's Choice Awards voting. The winners will be announced at the annual Shareware Industry Awards banquet in July. And I'll be back next week with more great programs to tell you about. Till them, be safe, and happy downloading.
