Business-in-a-Box, by BizTree Inc
is a complete set of both legal and business-related forms that you can
use for your business. Unlike some similar products I've seen,
Business-in-a-Box files can be edited with Microsoft Word or
OpenOffice. If you're just starting a new business this product can save
you money by giving you a lot of the basic documents that are needed
with a new business.
In working with the product I liked the fact that all the templates are
formatted so they look professional as well as being easy-to-use. With
many of the documents you basically just fill in the appropriate blanks
with your information and you've got a customized document that
looks like it was designed specifically for your company. I'm not
talking a few templates here I'm talking about over 1,200. The
contents of Business-in-a-Box give you a running head start for
getting your new business off the ground. So, if you're starting a new
business take the time to look at Business-in-a-Box. It just may
be the solution you need.

Safe AutoLogon, by WM Software Corp
is an interesting utility that can automatically log you on to your PC.
This is a cool feature when your computer is turned on or if it's
restarting after a power outage. If you've ever had a backup be skipped
because your computer had restarted and was sitting at the login prompt,
you'll appreciate this program. In this case your password is safely
encrypted so it can't be accessed by anyone.
Another cool feature of the program is that once the logon has been
accomplished you can have a program run and automatically have
your desktop locked! What a cool idea. So, for example, you can
set it up so that if your computer restarts, Safe AutoLogon logs
you in, your backup program starts, and then your desktop is secured. In
this way no one can interrupt your backup. The program is really
intuitive and easy-to-use, perfect for users with all levels of
experience. If you're running Safe AutoLogon on multiple machines
you can use the Safe AutoLogon Management Console and manage all
of your PCs at the same time. This is a cool solution for anyone who has
programs that need you to be logged in before they can run. Now, with
Safe AutoLogon, you can be logged in and your PC can still be
secured. Check it out.

Noromis PhotoLab, by Noromis
is a nifty program for working with your digital photos. The program is
easy-to-use and perfect for both new and experienced users. It can pull
you photos right from your digital camera, which some photo programs
can't do. If you want you can have the program fix your photos
for you. It's really kind of cool to watch. In testing it out I used a
whole folder of photos, selected them, and then told Noromis
PhotoLab to fix them up. It went in an adjusted the contrast, the
color balance, the exposure, and more.
If you don't like the results you can always undo the most recent
changes. Another cool feature is that all of your original images are
kept just they way they were. This is good for a couple of reasons.
First is that you have a backup, but secondly is that you can see what a
good job Noromis PhotoLab did on your photos. The program also
keeps a "fix history" which is a really cool feature. This saves
every change you make to a photo and it saves each change by
itself. What's cool about that is that it lets you "undo" changes in any
order. So, for example, say you increased the contrast, lowered the
brightness, cropped a photo, and made three other alterations. You can
go back and just reverse the brightness change. Slick. Noromis
PhotoLab can also print out all your photos and it can print them
out suitable for framing. This is a software program that's nicely done.
It's easy-to-use and it does a great job. So, if you've got photos you
need to fiddle with check out Noromis PhotoLab - it's the perfect
solution.

IncrediMail, by IncrediMail Ltd.
is an email program that's got a lot of flash and pizazz. No one can say
that IncrediMail is another, dull email client, in fact, just the
opposite. With this program your email takes on a life of its own. You
can pick from a huge number of backgrounds that give your emails a
unique "look." You can choose a stylish font and put in emoticons
that are actually animated. It's really kind of fun.
On top of that you can choose from a number of ways to be notified when
you have incoming email. My favorite is a butler-like character
that walks out onto the screen and says in a British accent, "You have
mail, sir." Fun! With IncrediMail you can also have signatures
that appear like they're handwritten, 3D effects, great sound effects,
and more. The entire program is centered around having fun with your
email. In testing it out, however, I found that IncrediMail is a
solid email client. It has all the standard email features you'd expect
and it has some nice extras. If you need to put the program on another
PC, for example, IncrediMail gives you an easy way to transfer
all of your contacts and messages. I wish more email programs had
a feature like that. Overall, IncrediMail gives you a solid email
performance that's also a lot of fun. So, if you'd like a little more
fun in your email take a look at IncrediMail, I think it's what
you're looking for.

" In this case your password is safely encrypted so it can't be accessed by anyone." Are you kidding? SafeLogon is absolutely FAKE program gives you the "false sense of security" They put encrypted password to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon registry key only to show that it's encrypted and "secure"... when you turn off (restart) your PC Safelogon changes password in the registry section above to NON ENCRYPTED ! So at the next boot-up Windows uses internal methods to auto logon the user getting your password (in PLAIN text) from the registry… after your computer is logged on Safelogon changes your password to encrypted one in the registry.. and you always think “Wow it’s secure, my login and password always encrypted”. Want to check this? It’s easy, just boot your Windows in SAFE mode… you will just see your password in plain text in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon …
Another method: just turn-off your PC holding POWER button about 4 seconds, turn it on, now your Windows will not autologon because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon contains encrypted bullshit but not your password in plain text that required for Windows to perform autologon!
Will you trust Michael’s software recommendations in future? I will not.
P.S. the only one software for secure autologon exists is LogonExpert -- I deeply research this, it uses directly communication witn NT\2000\2003\XP SAS Winlogon system and new credential providers system in Vista\2008. No registry, no LSA no stupid tricks like Safelogon.
