Network Configuration Management, by Missilesoftis a nice utility for working with your network. Actually it's more like a package of utilities. Built right in it has functions like ping,Who Is, and Trace Route. These are really handy for gathering basic information and they work really well. One feature that's really useful is the ability to recover passwords you've lost. You know how most passwords appear as a line of asterisks? Well, Network Configuration Management reveals your passwords for you. Nice.

Network Configuration Management also has a built-in Task Manager along with a Bandwidth Monitor. These help you to really see what's going on with your network and possibly make changes. The program can also give you IP information, has a Process Mapper, and more. The program was easy-to-use and intuitive. So, if you'd like an all-around tool for monitoring and even diagnosing your network check out Network Configuration Management. Nicely done.

Registry Mechanic, by PC Tools Software isa really cool tool for maximizing the efficiency of the Windows Registry. Every single thing on your computer, from hardware to software, has multiple entries in the Registry. And when things get installed, added, or removed it tends to leave "junk" clogging up the Registry. That leads to decreased performance, system crashes, and more.Registry Mechanic not only cleans junk out of the Registry, but it can actually repair it. And, once the Registry is clean and repaired,the program can also optimize it so you get peak performance. And that's important.

Registry Mechanic works really quickly and scans the entire Windows Registry. What's it doing? It's looking for broken or missing links, missing shortcuts, and all the other junk that can be left behind when you remove things. It removes the junk, fixes the things it can,and then optimizes the Registry. By "compacting" the Registry the program makes the Registry smaller and more efficient. And that means your computer runs better. The program also has an option to backup the Registry, just in case. And, if you want you can even restore individual Registry entries. Slick.

Registry Mechanic can be set-up so that it works in the background each time you start computer. Have the program look for problems and fix them. The program even keeps a log of what the program has been up to. Remember, if you take good care of your computer it will serve you well. So, take good care of your Registry and give Registry Mechanic a try. It's fast, efficient, and one of the nicest programs of its kind that I've looked at. Try it for yourself -- I recommend it!

Perfect for both new and experienced users. The program gives you the power to schedule a wide variety of tasks that can run at all different intervals. You can open up documents, launch programs, restart your computer, and so much more.

Advanced Task Scheduler will let you setup "event", for lack of a better word, that run yearly, monthly, daily, even every minute. You can have events triggered by hitting a "hot key", when your computer is sitting idle, and lots more. The program can also provide you with"reminders" that'll pop up so you don't miss that doctors appointment or meeting. Another slick feature is the ability to save everything to a log file. In this way you can see what took place and exactly when. In testing it out the program never missed an event that I'd set and was very accurate.

Advanced Task Scheduler is one of the best programs of its kind I've ever looked at. It provides you with a huge range of options and gives you the tools to schedule events based on yourcriteria. Leave your computer running and Advanced Task Scheduler will run every event you planned at the time you set.
