BContact: HomePage
BSystem: Win 95/98/NT/2000
BLimitations: None - Freeware

This little program protects your windows environment against unwanted users. When running it does not enable anyone access to windows without a password, which means your desktop is completely secure. It also disables the keys on your keyboard so Ctrl Alt Del won't even work. You can choose to have it automatically start with Windows so rebooting the system by switching of the power button still won't give the intruder access.

Protector Win now takes a screen capture of the desktop on loading and plays an alarm if the wrong password has been entered three times. Added to version 3 Deluxe is a Timer you can setup to automatically Lock and Unlock your desktop at set times on any day.

Future Publishing and BGS Computers will not take any responsibility for lost passwords.

PLEASE NOTE: This program needs the Visual basic 6 Runtime files to install correctly but due to legal reasons we are unable to distribute these files ourselves. one place on the Web you can get this file is http://www.ded.com/nonags/rtdll.html .

Windows' memory management can be pretty sloppy. Instead of releasing the RAM allocated to a program once you exit the program, Windows hangs on to that RAM, and your system crawls along without it. WinRAM Booster defragments your system's memory - both your RAM and your disk cache - to free up more memory for other applications.

Xteq X-Setup is the most complete system utility ever available for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. And it is everywhere you need it: either in Start - Programs or as a symbol in Settings - Control Panel.

Although it offer lots of features, X-Setup is extremely easy to use. X-Setup offers wizards that enable you to change your system in a step-by-step process. With this feature, configuring your system is as easy as A-B-C. Also, it has an Explorer-like layout and the famous back and next buttons you already know from your Internet browser so navigation can't be easier.
