RecallPlus, by EvolutionCode is a software product that's designed from the ground up to help students study! It lets you lay out notes in a way that make ssense to you which means they are easier to study from. By letting you lay things out it helps you to associate things more easily. You create pages that you group into chapters. You can put images in with your notes and even sounds. This allows you to study basically any subject using RecallPlus. The program makes it easy to add new pages, edit existing ones and so on. You can create associations between cards and even drag-and-drop. It also has a search function so you can look for specific things. Cool.

RecallPlus also helps you to study by reminding you when it's time to go back and review your notes. During your review you can tag things you had difficulty with and the program will remember what you tagged. You can arrange topics in a knowledge tree and put things in order of importance, difficulty -- whatever makes sense to you. The program can also test you. It will show you when it's time to go over a certain set of notes. Once you complete your review you can indicate ifthere were items you had trouble with or didn't remember at all. What's cool is that the program adapts, based on your input, so it will alter the test schedule. Pretty slick.

In looking at RecallPlus it seems like there isn't any subject you can't study with it. I like the way it lets you lay things out the way you want. The ability to add graphics and sounds makes it even more flexible. This is the kind of program that's perfect for students of all ages. I think the key thing is that it helps you to study more efficiently. So, if you're a student, or have a student in your family, take the time to check out RecallPlus.

Folder Lock, by NewSoftwares.net Inc. is a really slick utility for keeping your important data safe and secure. You can use the program to encrypt,hide and lock entire folders on your PC. The program has a very unique and modernistic interface that's very intuitive. It's also extremelyeasy-to-use and that makes it perfect for users with all levels ofcomputer experience. In fact, when the author of the program wrote menot long ago, asking what they could improve in the program, I told them that I didn't see anything that needed improving. That doesn't happen very often.

Folder Lock makes it easy to hide files so that no one else can access them. Keep important files away from your co-workers, children and others who might have access to your computer. I'm impressed with the fact that Folder Lock can work with all kinds of media and not just your computer hard disk. I tested it on my key chain hard drive, a floppy disk and even a CD. Another neat feature is that the protection actually follows the protected files. What does that mean? Well, itmeans that you can put a protected folder on something like a disk,transfer them to another PC, and the folder will still be protected.Pretty slick.

Folder Lock is the nicest program of its kind that I've looked at. It's easy-to-use, intuitive and rock solid in its function. It also has a variety of other options including a cool auto-lock feature, a stealth mode and an auto-shutdown option as well. I like the fact that the program is loaded with features, works with multiple media, and can even handle different file systems like NTFS and FAT32. So, if you have files that you'd like to keep safe you need to give this program a try. I recommend it highly! Very well done.
