SecurDesk! LV Edition Desktop Replacement

logo_sdlSecurDesk! LV lets you create your own custom desktop environment for any version of Windows. Lock down icons, buttons images and hotspots onto an interface of your own making.

Your desktop can hold animated icons, sound, cursor-over events, buttons, wallpaper, multiple images, text, and other elements. And you may spread the desktop across multiple password-protected pages, so you’ll have much more room to arrange your shortcuts, pictures, etc. Single icons or buttons can be used to launch programs, open a browser, jump to another desktop page, ask for user input, display a menu of choices, perform a series of actions, reboot the system, and much more. You may also specify applications to launch both on system startup and shutdown, or on a time-delayed basis.

A handy Task Bar applet is included which can replace the Windows Task Bar and Tray. It may be moved anywhere on the screen, and also allows you to switch running applications into their own virtual desktop space. A Password/Info keeper option gives you instant access to passwords or other frequently used information.

And SecurDesk! LV comes in versions for both Windows 3.1/3.11 and 95, 98, ME, NT4 or 2000 (both 16-bit and 32-bit versions included with purchase), so you can have the same environment when moving between systems.

SecurDesk! LV is the ideal replacement for those who need to prevent Windows or users from rearranging the desktop, for those who wish to create their own simpler desktop interface, and for power-users who want more control over their systems.

FileWrangler

logo_fw2A Powerful Windows File Manager

FileWrangler is a complete solution for your Windows file handling needs: the quick and easy way to rename or re-date groups of files, ZIP and UNZIP files, view and extract compressed CAB archives, split a large file across multiple disks, locate files, and much more! In addition to common tasks such as copying, moving and deleting files on your disk, FileWrangler adds many more features, including copying to/from FTP sites; creation of self-extracting (EXE) zip or self-describing and extracting, encrypted LOK archives; on-board text, paint and HTML editors; protection of important files; a file viewer that even looks into ZIP files or files on FTP directories; etc. Use it with, or instead of, Windows Explorer to handle all your file needs.

Of particular interest to many users will be FileWrangler’s Document-centric view option This allows you to hide the sometimes confusing clutter of program and utility files which inhabit your disks. You can arrange just the document files you actually work with (such as word processing files), into their own individual file drawers. Aside from the hiding the confusing array of irrelevant file types, this option can also help keep new users from unwittingly deleting important files from the system (the infamous: “I didn’t know what it was, so I erased it.”).

Plus, FileWrangler allows you to choose between a compact “File List” view and hierarchical “Tree” views. You can even have different viewing modes display at the same time within different FileWrangler windows. Preview file contents as you browse through the files and folders on your system. Play WAV files, AVI’s, view and edit images and more, from right inside FileWrangler.

A handy on-board text editor is always just a click away. It is great for typing quick notes, modifying your system’s configuration files, etc. A specialized markup editor is also available for coding html and other text files (we’ve used it to create this and other web pages on this site), and you can edit many types of graphic images with the included paint program.

Other useful features include:

  • A file splitting function which can break up one or more large files into pieces for placing on diskettes, etc. Creates a distributable program for reassembling the pieces. This feature may be used to create simple Setup-type installation programs for your own programs, image collections or documents, complete with a graphical interface;
  • A file patching function for creating a file which contains only the differences between two files;
  • Backup and restore functions for creating a compressed backup of the files on your system;
  • File date and time changing functions;
  • Function to print a listing of the contents of a directory folder, or save the list to a text file;
  • and more…

Then there are FileWrangler’s security options. You can password-protect access to FileWrangler and to its configuration settings. You may also hide types of files and entire drives from users. You may also disable such potentially disastrous file manager functions as deleting files, disk formatting, modifying file attributes, disk copying, etc.

Download FileWrangler today. You’ll wonder why you’d ever use anything else!

ActivIcons

logo_aiChange Your Windows Desktop’s Default Icon and Cursor Properties

ActivIcons makes it simple to change properties for various icons on your Windows desktop and in Explorer, plus attributes for many other desktop settings.

In fact, ActivIcons goes through your Registry and lists out all of the icons found there, so that you can change those as well. You can even use ActivIcons to display animated icons on your desktop, or make the icon text labels transparent.

And best of all, you can use ActivIcons for as long as you wish, free of charge!

SecurDesk

logo_sdProtecting Your Valuable Information

Your desktop computers store a constantly increasing amount sensitive information — everything from bank accounts and financial reports, to confidential client and patient records, to trade secrets and proprietary processes, to your personal identity for accessing private accounts over a network or internet.

Not so long ago, you would have stored this kind of private information in an steel-doored safe, locked cabinet, or bank deposit box. But today many of the computer systems which contain these important materials are sitting completely or only partially protected, and can deliver this information to anyone at the click of a switch and a few keystrokes. It is a simple task for even an amateur to by-pass a login password, take your private information (or information which others have entrusted to you), destroy your files and setup, and create general havoc — all in a few short minutes of tinkering. You are left with the costly process of trying to determine what was compromised, trying to reconstruct your setup, changing accounts … or even worse.

SecurDesk! comprises four separate main modules: Desktop, Task Manager, File Manager and Administration Manager. Together they offer a wealth of options which may be used alone, or in conjunction with other security measures, to control access to sensitive files and settings, replace Explorer.exe (not Internet Explorer, but the Windows desktop and file manager combo which so often presents a wide-open gateway to your files and setup), verifying who is using your machine, hide confusing and irrelevant items from selected users, ease training tasks, track sytstem usage, etc.

SecurDesk! allows you to construct your own desktops with multiple levels of passworded access. It contains its own powerful file manager with built-in security, a task manager/Start bar replacement and the tools you need to configure an environment suited to your unique needs and security concerns.
