Boot Sentry 4.0 (Freeware) - NEW
Boot Sentry locks your computer so that no one can use it without knowing the password.

You can have your computer lock at Startup, after so many minutes idle (like a Screensaver), after a certain amount of time, or with a single click.

Boot Sentry has extensive logging features that log everything it does - When Winlock started, when it ended, when Command Center was run, when invalid passwords were entered - so you can tell at a glance if somebody has been trying to break into your computer. You can customise what Boot Sentry does and doesn't log, along with a variety of other options.

PowerStrip 2.74 (Demo)
If you're an advanced user who wants to get the most out of your system's display capabilities, check out PowerStrip. From its system tray icon or optional toolbar, you'll get quick access to your most-used display settings, incremental enlargement and reduction of desktop size, and comprehensive color calibration controls with gamma hotkey. Switch color depth, resolution, and refresh rate on the fly. Direct hardware support for many chips and a database of over 1,500 monitors are provided, giving you an incredible degree of control over your display subsystem. PowerStrip also lets you associate specific applications with custom display settings, run graphics system diagnostics, and take advantage of extensive hotkey and screen-saver support. Although most users will do just fine with Windows' own Display Properties/Settings control in tandem with Microsoft's free QuickRes utility, those who require the ultimate control over their video settings will appreciate PowerStrip's rich feature set and ease of use. This demo version restricts you from saving your settings but otherwise is fully functional.
