Freeware for Saving, Keeping, and Reading Web Documents

More time you spend online, more activities you transfer from the other methods to purely Internet processing and operations, more you need the utility which will save and organize the information retrieved from Internet to be manipulated as regular files. There is a frequent need to save PDF's or Web pages to be used later (for tickets receipts, orders, books, Manuals, or anything you want to keep) and get them arranged that you will have no problems finding them later. With free small utility you can now save any web documents to the special "Web" folder within the "Documents" folder (or "My Documents" for pre Windows 7).

The WebReader application can be accessed from the football/Soccer icon in the system tray (near the clock on the Task Bar). It basically allows quick and easy access to these saved documents, and you can view, print and browse these files any time later within the application. You can also organize your documents by creating sub-folders in Windows Explorer and navigating them easily within this application.

When using Internet Explorer you can save the current page with shortcut operation - by pressing Ctrl + s, but make sure you save the document in the 'Web' folder. Anytime you want to access this document just use Web-eReader to locate and open it. It is quick and easy; double click the Football Icon and double click on your document.

MadAppLauncher Review

While every Operation System comes with its own built-in Applications Launcher, it is obviously not quite satisfactory to many users, since there are tons of the programs’ launching utilities on the consumer market, and most are free to use. We are going to present a simple application launcher  MadAppLauncher, which is designed based on an interesting concept and equipped with set of attractive features.

It is design to execute group applications, folders, scripts, etc. with ease, using hot keys, assigned to each item. It supports drag and drop and manual editing. There is no need to remember all those hot keys; just activate the application launcher, press one number key to select a tab (group) and another key(letter/symbol) to launch the corresponding application. The software is freeware, under GPLv3 license.

Objectives of MadAppLauncher

  • Reduce desktop and task bar clutter by using tab groups
  • Reduce the number of mouse clicks/moves and key presses
  • Access applications, files, and folders fast so you can focus on what you need to do

Main Features

  • Assign 30 programs for each of the 10 tab pages. A total of 300 per configuration.
  • Press a key to find a program; 0-9 to activate tabs and the corresponding letter/symbol to launch a program.
  • Organize better by assigning a configuration file to a button - effectively creating a cascading set of programs.
  • Option to keep the application launcher window on top of all other windows.
  • Option to auto-hide the application launcher window when an application, file, or folder is opened.
  • Option to always center the application launcher on screen.
  • Option to change the hotkey used to activate the application launcher.
  • Drag and Drop applications, files, and folders.
  • Check for updates on startup.
  • Option to change an application's initial window size and location.
  • Save multiple sets of applications.
  • Run programs as administrator.
  • Duplicate applications assigned to buttons.
  • Move buttons across tabs.
  • Auto activate tabs on mouse over.
  • Option to press a key twice before launching.
  • Refresh icons for portable applications, files, and folders.
  • Auto-save data files.

Anti-Frustration Software Soluto

When you buy a new computer, it loads fast, but little-by-little the boot-up process slows down, and eventually you find it painfully sluggish. With freeware Soluto utility, you can get a full understanding on what is going on during the computer start-up and how can you optimize your Operating System boot-up. The software counts down for you how long startup is taking and gives you a beautiful graphical interface for turning off extra programs you don't need to load at first, or at last delay them so your startup goes a little faster.

The Soluto patent-pending low level driver technology detects when the user actually gets frustrated by his/her computer performance, and tells exactly of which application is causing the unnecessary delays.
