It gets slower, fills up with junk, and becomes more prone to crashes. So this week, I'll clue you into shareware and freeware that will help keep your hard disk in top condition. As a bonus, there's a great utility for synchronizing files and folders. IN THIS ISSUE: * Lifeguard: Great Tool to Backup, Encrypt and Restore * SeeknClean: Quick Way to a Cleaner Hard Disk * Super Utilities: Must-Have Power Tool Suite * Find Unused Files: Get Rid of Never-Used Files * File of the Week: WMatch 2.0 - Compare and Synchronize Folders and Files ============================================================ Lifeguard: Great Tool to Backup, Encrypt and Restore Windows' backup utility is, to put it mildly, pitiful - so use LifeGuard instead. In addition to offering powerful backup tools, LifeGuard also will encrypt files. It comes with its own network server, for easy backup across a network. And it includes disaster recovery features as well. It's shareware; registration fee is $49.95. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1059-13-22-58379-97664-1 ============================================================ SeeknClean: Quick Way to a Cleaner Hard Disk You've got a hard disk filled with junk files - temporary files you no longer need, files with zero bytes in them, and others. It can be tough, if not impossible, to track them all down and kill them. This program does a thorough search-and-destroy operation, targeting specific types of junk files, particularly those that may cause errors, or slowdowns, and then kills them. It's shareware; registration fee is $19.95. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1059-13-22-58379-97667-1 ============================================================ Super Utilities: Must-Have Power Tool Suite Why get a piece of software that's a one-trick pony, when you can get a suite full of power tools? Super Utilities offers a host of helpful utilities. It'll clean your hard disk of unnecessary files, let you hide folders and files from others, password-protect your programs, shred sensitive files so they can't be recovered, and more. It's shareware; registration fee is $49.95. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1059-13-22-58379-97670-1 ============================================================ Find Unused Files: Get Rid of Never-Used Files You have files that you haven't touched for a year or longer. You'd be better off archiving or deleting them, rather than keeping them on your PC. This utility can look for files which haven't been used for a certain number of days, on either your whole hard disk or on a folder or subfolder basis, and it quickly shows you the results. It's freeware. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1059-13-22-58379-97673-1 ============================================================ File of the Week: WMatch 2.0 - Compare and Synchronize Folders and Files If you've ever needed to move files between computers, you've come across the synchronization problem - how do you know which files on each are new or changed? This program displays two folders side by side, and highlights the differences. To download it, you must be a subscriber to the PC Magazine Utility Library. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1059-13-22-58379-97676-1 ============================================================ About the author: Well-known shareware guru Preston Gralla has been writing about shareware for well over a decade.
