Xdrive gives you 5GB of Free secure online storage to protect, manage, and access your photos, music, and videos from anywhere. This desktop software integrates seamlessly with your computer--just like an external hard drive--allowing convenient access to your important files on Xdrive. Quickly transfer large files and entire folders using drag and drop from your PC. Or schedule automated backups to ensure you always have the latest version of your files available. Enhancements include an improved backup interface, performance tuning for faster uploading, seamless authentication with AOL/AIM software and services. Get 5GB free. Need more space? You can always upgrade to get more.Version 5.1.155 includes a new AutoCopy feature that allows you to automatically copy your music and photos with Xdrive. And, XDrive Shows is now available on the Xdrive Web site, so you can create shows with your pictures and music to share with your friends and family.Editor's review of Xdrive Desktop
Easy and free online storage
XDrive lets you create an online hard drive to store music, documents, or other files and then access that drive from any computer. Once XDrive is installed and you've registered for your free AOL account, you can manage your 5GB online drive by launching XDrive Desktop, clicking the XDrive tab, and then clicking Connect.Once connected, you can see your backup files by clicking the Show Drive button or navigating to My Computer in Windows Explorer and double-clicking the XDrive icon. A default file hierarchy includes sample folders like My Music and My Pictures, but we created new directories as easily as in Windows Explorer. The desktop client comes with an intuitive, skinnable interface that lets you quickly back up folders by checking appropriate boxes and hitting the Now button, and you can just as easily create an ongoing backup schedule. One of the best features of XDrive is online accessibility. Sign in at XDrive.com and choose "Click to Launch" to view the contents of your online drive. You also can share folders with other XDrive users. A new feature in version 5.1.155--called XDrive Shows--lets you easily create slide shows with your own photos and music.The free version offers 5GB of space. For a fee, you can add up to 50GB of space. The "loopback adapter" section of the installation was slow, and AOL Services tried to stick itself in our start-up, but the interface was great and we had no trouble managing files and folders from the desktop client or online drive. Sharing folders and files requires target users to sign up for their own XDrive accounts, but if users value the service, registration seems worthwhile. We think XDrive Desktop is an excellent method of storing files online.

BitZipper will let you extract and create almost any type of compressed file with superior ease of use. It has built-in support for ACE, ARC, ARJ, BH, BZ2, CAB, ENC, GZ, JAR, LHA, LZH, RAR, TAR, TBZ, TGZ, UUE, WAR, XXE, Z, ZIP and ZOO files; no third-party products are needed. You can access almost every compressed file with just this one tool. Another one of BitZipper's strengths is that it comes with four user interfaces to provide solutions for new and power-users: A very friendly Wizard interface for new users, a Windows Explorer-style tabbed interface for experts, a batch (bulk) processing interface for power downloaders and an interface accessible directly from Windows Explorer's right-click menu. BitZipper supports strong AES encryption, which NSA announced is secure enough to protect classified information up to the Top Secret level. Version 5 introduces support for BZIP2 compression. BZIP2 is supported as stand-alone BZ2 and TBZ files and as a WinZip compatible extension to the existing ZIP file format; adds Unicode support, which enables BitZipper to compress and extract files with e.g. Japanese and other Asian and eastern languages.Editor's review of BitZipper
BitZipper may not have a well-known name, but it has everything else an archiving utility should. Like similar programs, it integrates with Windows Explorer and can operate in a wizard or classic mode (we recommend the latter, which allows you to circumvent the demo's nag screen). It splits files, creates self-extracting archives, and supports popular formats, including ZIP and RAR. Its innovative interface includes a tabbed application window and a folder tree for quick navigation. However, BitZipper really one-ups the competition with its wealth of helpful features, most of which help you extract and convert multiple archives in one operation. The program helps perform file backups, too. At $24.95, it costs more than the competition, but the extra features sweeten the deal. If you're traveling the road less taken, BitZipper is well worth the test drive.

Process Explorer is an advanced process management utility that picks up where Task Manager leaves off. It will show you detailed information about a process including its icon, command-line, full image path, memory statistics, user account, security attributes, and more. When you zoom in on a particular process you can list the DLLs it has loaded or the operating system resource handles it has open. A search capability enables you to track down a process that has a resource opened, such as a file, directory or Registry key, or to view the list of processes that have a DLL loaded. The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window, which you can close, depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you will see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you will see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Version 11.13 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

TweakVista is the type of utility that every Windows Vista user should have on their PC.Editor's review of TweakVista
Do more than just tweak
TweakVista takes an unnecessarily complicated interface provided by Microsoft and simplifies it by organizing the myriad of system options into one clean design. The app starts with a list of 10 options on the left nav, ranging from Start Up and Resources, down through Security and Power, and ending with Miscellaneous Tweaks. Each tab opens a new panel of topic-specific options, most with tabs of their own delineating between basic and advanced functions. For example, the Services tab controls access to many of the background processes. There are preconfigured Profiles for gamers, for saving memory, and so on. The Features tab, though, lets you pick and choose specific settings. The Power option is useful for more than just laptop users, though. It also gives you a carbon footprint of your computer usage based on your hardware, and extrapolates it for a year's worth of use. Who knows if it's accurate, but it's good reminder that computers aren't running on the power of love. Whether you want to make adjustments or simply learn more about what Vista is doing, TweakVista gives both Vista newbies and power users abilities that go beyond mere "tweaking," without the headaches that Vista is infamous for.

Reflect can backup files and folders into a compressed mountable archive file or your entire PC into a single image. Using this image you can restore the entire disk, partition or individual files and folders. You can create full, differential and incremental images to optimize backup speed and disk space requirements. Images can be stored on local or network drives, CD or DVD media, and removable drives connected using USB or Firewire (IEEE1394). In the event of a total loss of the Windows operating system your PC can be started using the Reflect recovery CD. This CD starts a compact version of the Linux operating system with a familiar mouse and graphical interface. You can then recover partitions and entire disk images with just a few clicks of your mouse. Version 4 adds XML backup definition files and a VBScript generator for ultimate control over the backup process.
