Harness Your System and Rein It in Style

Harness Your System and Rein It in Style

True Launch Bar is an ultimate experience of a manageable file system. It gets the best of MS Windows OS and streamlines it for greater comfort of use. Its unique system of switching toolbars and expandable menus gives instant access to files, applications, and settings from the taskbar. In addition, overlay images and skins give system polish and slick looks.

Tordex announces today the release of the forth major version of True Launch Bar, a shortcut manager and system enhancement tool. The program is known as much for its close integration with Windows OS as for skins and extensions that change the looks of the taskbar. The new version improves the hallmark system of switching toolbars and expands the range of customizable program features. Users are now able to change not only the appearance of menus and items, but also the default commands ascribed to buttons. The latest update also offers support to Windows Vista. On the whole, the update makes True Launch Bar more universally customizable and visually diverse.

True Launch Bar draws on the strengths of MS Windows, making a better use of its controls and technologies. It strikes the delicate balance between comfort and integrity of the system. It allows switching toolbars automatically with the change of an active application. For example, if you use extra resources while working with MS Office applications, you can create a special toolbar with shortcuts to all the resources. The shortcuts will appear in the taskbar every time MS Word or Excel is launched. You can also group shortcuts into menus that expand and collapse at a click or float on top of other windows. The use of Drag-n-Drop helps quickly fill the menus with shortcuts for files and applications, system settings and controls. True Launch Bar helps you harness the system and stay in control.

Here are testimonials of users appreciating the comfort of True Launch Bar:

"To grasp the real value of True Launch Bar, try working with it for some time. Then any system without it turns into a raging nightmare." Nick Harley, Canada.

"I want to tell you guys, your app is a killer!! I love it. Something that my company (MS) forgot to include in XP :) Worth every penny!!! Keep up the good work!"

".you can modify the icons-menu to appear only text-based and re-arrange the structure of the menus to seems like gnome one. Good work!" Hack Lover, Italy

Not only does True Launch Bar give comfort of use, but also adds polish to your system. With its help you can dress the taskbar with overlay images and skins. You can customise its colour scheme; add gradients and transparency effects. You can tap into a fathomless source of designs and styles. Its plug-ins will equip your taskbar with a news reader and the weather forecast. You will be able to monitor resources and network activities, access the address book and control media players. It is one nifty tool that works wonders with your desktop, putting things in order, and adding polish to the system looks.

Control Your Computer's Productivity

Control Your Computer's Productivity with Actual Window Manager 4.0

An add-on for Microsoft Windows enables users to modify the priority for processes and tasks on the fly with only one click, allowing you to increase system performance and avoid crashes

Multitasking in Windows is a great technology that enables users to run more than one program at a time while having only one CPU. However it may also be a weakness. Too many running processes and tasks often reduce the processing power of your computer by consuming large amounts of CPU resources. Performance degrades to the point where your computer becomes extremely sluggish. So, what do we do? We raise and lower the process priority.

Changing the priority level allows you control how CPU resources are used. Windows provides six different priority levels, such as Low, Below Normal, Normal, Above Normal, High and Real-Time. By increasing the priorities for important programs and decreasing priorities for less important ones, users can make sure that the important process gets instant access to the CPU. This means it will be able to consume 100% of the CPU without being interrupted by less important processes, which leads to increased and more stable performance of an application.

Actual Window Manager is a Windows add-on that lets you tackle the too-many-applications-running problem with ease. After installation, it allows you to modify the priority of any application on the fly. Simply click on the Priority icon located on the titlebar of its window and select the required priority from the drop-down menu. You can do the same from the window menu. Priority can also be modified automatically in response to different events like an application launch, when a window is inactive or when it is minimized to the taskbar.

Let's say, for example, you need to make a backup copy of a DVD disk containing the life-critical data. DVD copying, as you know, is a very resource-intensive task that can make the computer sluggish. You launch a DVD converter like CloneDVD, click on the Priority icon on its titlebar and set the priority level as High. Now, the converter will get enough CPU resources to execute the task without any interruption or system failures. Besides, all other tasks will also be running in the background but will not cause any problems. Changing priority with Actual Window Manager turns into a one-click affair.

If you would like to know more about how to optimize your system performance without buying expensive hardware, you can read the article "How to make your computer work faster", which is located at http://www.ActualTools.com/articles/detail.php?ID=1096. Also, you can download an evaluation copy of Actual Window Manager and try changing the priority on your own. The download link is http://www.ActualTools.com/files/aimsetup.exe.

Protect Your Family Members

Protect Your Family Members from Ubiquitous Pornography and Violence

Adult Photo Blanker makes sure that your children watch proper films on your home computer and visit websites, which do not contain any objectionable content

Today OreWare.com announces the release of Adult Photo Blanker, a freshly developed software tool, which guards computer users from the ubiquitous expansion of pornography and violence in our life. This program not only prevents your children from accessing unwanted websites, but also controls the content of video files and photos, which are loaded into your computer memory from the hard disk. In addition to this, it is worth of note that Adult Photo Blanker is compatible with all existing Internet browsers and e-mail managers. This smart tool monitors nearly all multimedia content, which is processed by the computer. Adult Photo Blanker is able to analyze all popular formats of images and video files.

Adult Photo Blanker uses a cutting edge content analyzing technology, which allows for 11 special criteria to reveal objectionable films, websites, images and the like. The program combines this built-in artificial intelligence scanner with the keyword filter, which recognizes unwanted content by specified words. This combination gives the programmers confidence to assert, that no objectionable data will be displayed on the monitors of their customers. Apart from that, this is a resident program, which is concealed from inexperienced users. Besides, Adult Photo Blanker is protected with a password, so if you want to turn it off and watch an adult film, you will have to put in the password, which you have previously specified.

Other merits of the program include the interception of search requests to the search engines and blocking them if the search is performed by the objectionable words. Adult Photo Blanker gives no chances to porno lovers: it features Block and Safe lists to customize each user settings individually. Customizability is another great asset of the program. This content supervisor is able to meet the needs of most demanding family members. Each family member can configure options of the program in his/her own way. For example, the program provides for different passwords for each family member. A special quick setup wizard, which begins to work right after you have installed the program, is also worth mentioning. It allows configuring all necessary settings in just 5 steps.

"I have two children, ten and thirteen years of age," says Barbara, our customer from the UK. "They spend much time on the Internet. The global network helps them to study; they find a lot of useful information for their classes there. However, I could not feel relaxed about them, since I knew that apart from knowledge they could come across some adult sites there. Fortunately this problem is now solved. I strongly recommend Adult Photo Blanker to all parents, who do care for their children."

Adult Photo Blanker Benefits at a Glance:
- Cutting edge content analyzing technology;
- Control over all processed video/photo data;
- Support for all popular video files and images;
- Password protection;
- High level of customizability.

Pricing and Availability
Adult Photo Blanker runs under Windows 98 (partially) / ME (partially) / 2000 / XP and costs $49.95 (USD). A fully functional trial version of the program is available as a free download at http://www.oreware.com/download_prog.php?id_prog=25 (4.09 Mb)
