Useful Thing- Hello, everyone, First, an announcement. This will be the last issue of Useful Things that I write. I've decided to move on to other interests. However, this will NOT be the final issue of Useful Things. Coming soon to your email box will be an important announcement about the Useful Things list. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Thanks to all of you for remaining subscribed. I hope you found at least some of the programs I recommended useful. It's been fun! : ) Now, on to this week's Useful Thing... WinPatrol WinPatrol is useful for keeping track of all those startup programs, active tasks and browser cookies. Why, it even features a domain lookup utility ( which includes a feature that gives a quick list of available domain name servers ). WinPatrol will actively monitor your computer in the background and notify you when a new startup program or cookie has been added to your system. Another nice feature is the ability to have WinPatrol automatically delete the cookies you tell it you don't want to remain on your hard drive. All in all this is a program you're sure to appreciate. What the WinPatrol site says about the program- "WinPatrol was created in response to an increase of password sniffers which can now be embedded in E-Mail, text documents and even on Web pages. It's just too easy for hackers to violate our personal space and damage your data. A little healthy paranoia of the internet and WinPatrol quickly grew into a multi-function system monitor for the personal computer. The secret to keeping your computer clean and healthy is Scotty the Windows Watch Dog from BillP Studios. If you want to know which programs are running on your computer and where they came from WinPatrol is for you."
