Windows Utilities to try out

  • TeraCopy — asynch copying with pause, resume, error handling
  • Doublekiller — find and kill file dupes. And then RED to kill empty dirs
  • Defraggler — individual file defraggler. UPDATE: faulted when I ran it. not going to use a defragger that faults
  • Drivermax — backup all your drivers. UPDATE: pretty cool, MSFT should buy this thing.
  • Xinorbis hard disk analyzer. Also windirstat. UPDATE: both nice and useful. Man do I have a lot of storage committed to FLAC
  • Process Scanner or Taskpower3 to figure out what all those running processes are. UPDATE: process scanner doesn’t really provide any more detail than task manager, and taskpower wants money from me to try.
  • Netsharemanager to manage network shares in bulk
  • InFormEnter to complete webforms
  • HD Tune for checking hard disk health
    * Ed Bott’s list of 10 best utilities
  • Fix stuck pixels — does this actually work??
  • Powercfg to control which devices can wake Windows. Or at least see which ones can
