Keep Caps, Num or Scroll Lock Always On..or Off

T.J. Mininday — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:02:03 +0000

One of the big annoyances I continually find myself running into is that the number lock is never on when I need it to be. I open up Excel and find my highlighted cell jumping all over the place, with no numbers to be seen. I look up on the keyboard and…duhh, the number lock is of course off. This typically happens during a reboot.

There are also times where you find yourself bumping the the caps lock key as well. It would be nice to permanently have these on or off. Well, there are registry hacks to do it, or you can do it with this simple free utility.

Numlocker quite simply allows you to “lock” the state of the Caps, Num or Scroll lock keys to Always On or Always Off. That’s all it does. It resides quitely in the background of your Windows PC and does just that. Locks the state of those keys.

Remove Factory Installed Software with PC Decrapifier

T.J. Mininday — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:00:10 +0000

The major problem with buying a new PC at discount prices from your Best Buy, Dell, and HPs of the world that although they do come at a reduced cost, they do come LOADED with junkware. Trial Office, AntiVirus, Cheap ISPs and added security features, just to name a few. Removing these features typically is accomplished by going to Add/Remove Programs in the control panel and removing one-by-one. Fortunately however, there is an all-in-one solution called PC Decrapifier.

PC Decrapifier is essentially an uninstaller that detects junkware that is installed on your factory built laptop or desktop. It runs a quick detection process on your PC, determines what is and what isn’t needed, and then displays what can be removed.

After you select what you’d like to remove, it runs the uninstaller for each and every specified application, one-by-one, making your machine squeaky clean and diverting you from formatting the machine completely.

The program is update every few months with new applications to remove, and it is continuously monitoring what items are being consistently uninstalled, display it on their website.

Hide Programs Quickly From View with BlindBossKey

T.J. Mininday — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:54:18 +0000

There is no doubt about it. The internet has made the world lazier. Whether at work or home, the vast majority of people connected to the net have become obsessed with it. Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Blogs, Entertainment, News, etc, etc, etc…we’re ADDICTED! At home it’s not a big deal, but at work it can become a problem. Especially when your boss is crawling up behind you and sneaks a peak at your screen, and you’ve got the latest ESPN scores up. It would be nice to quickly hide what you’re reading huh? Well, that’s what I’m here to talk about today.

BlindBossKey is a simple application that runs in your system tray, awaiting a hot key sequence, to hide whatever processes you have specified.

After you simply specify active Windows, active processes or any program that you’d like to hide in the program, you can quickly enter your specified hot key sequence and instantly all program minimize into that system tray. A system tray icon that you can modify or even hide as well.

One of the other nice features of BlindBossKey is the ability to specify what program you’d like to come to the forefront. So now, when you’re boss approaches and you’re supposed to crunching those accounting numbers, you can add that special workbook as the “Top” item.

A very handy utility to continue making it look like you are productive, but really aren’t. Other then that, this program really has no other use that I can think of.

EasyCapture – Finally found the best ‘Screen Shot’ Freeware

T.J. Mininday — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:28:22 +0000

So, since I first used one of the best paid versions of ScreenShot software called Fullshot, I have been waiting and looking to see if anyone has anything close to it. Well, I think I have finally found it, and it’s called Easy Capture.

One of the features I loved about FullShot, was the built-in buttons the placed in title bar of every single page that you were viewing. EasyCapture doesn’t quite have this yet, but it has simple ‘Hot Key’s’ and a simple right-click option with the icon in the system tray, to capture:

Capture full screen, active window.

Capture windows, buttons, toolbar, controls and other windows objects.

Capture selected region.

Capture scrolling windows and entire web pages.

Capture fix-size region.
