Windows service that saves energy (and money) by hibernating and resuming your Windows PC according to configurable rules.

SmartPower is particularly suited to Windows Home Servers, torrent/download boxes and HTPCs.

How does it work

SmartPower's “goal” is to hibernate (or suspend, or shutdown) your PC. The SmartPower configuration utility lets you create rules that prevent this happening. When SmartPower sees that no rules currently apply it will initiate hibernate (or suspend, or shutdown). The potential rules are:

• One or more schedules are active – A schedule is a period of time during which the PC must stay on. By default SmartPower will wake-up your PC in order to honour a schedule.
• One or more devices are online – A device is anything on your network that will respond to a ping.
• Network traffic on one or more network interfaces is above a configurable threshold.
• CPU usage is above a configurable threshold.
• One or more processes are running – A process is a Windows process.

Program that is able to easily change the quality of your MP3's in order to save disk space.

MP3 Quality Modifier is a straightforward program that is able to easily change the quality of your MP3's in order to save disk space and/or to fit more music on your MP3 player while maintaining the desired level of audio quality and keeping all ID3 tags intact!

The program is pretty simple to use: The first step is to drag and drop MP3 files on the file list. Various information such as the name, interpret, size and bitrate are displayed automatically.
The next step is to select a preset which ranges from high quality over portable and compromise to low quality. More advanced users can choose from a variety of configurations such as bitrate mode and rate, sample frequency and the stereo modus.

The process itself takes only a few seconds per song and is even able to adapt the folder structure (example: “Artist X” folder with “Album 1″ and “Album 2″ as subfolders) if that is wanted. Unlike other tools all ID3 tags like the title, artist etc. are automatically retained as well.
Finally the result window allows to compare the original and created music files by listing their size differences.

Main Features

• Change the MP3 quality with just a few mouse-clicks
• Really easy and intuitive user interface
• All ID3 tags are automatically retained
• Adapt folder structure

Software to securely delete private and sensitive data.

Secure delete files are required to block the recovering of deleted data.

Secure deletion is possible with this program, because “Blank And Secure” overwrites the data with zeros before deleting.

The data recovery is impossible after this operation. So please only use if the data really should be permanently deleted.

The other overwriting standards such as US DoD 5220.22-M ECE, German standard and Peter Gutmann standard is not implemented, because in my test i had no measurable improvement, for that reason is that not implemented in “Blank And Secure” ;)

Options:

Reset:
Clear the List Contents (not delete the files).

Delete:
Overwrite folder and files with NULL and delete.

Overwrite X times:
Overwrite the data X times with NULL.

Delete Delay X-sec.:
At this time you can stop the erasing procedure with the key [ESC].

Fill the free space with null:
This will remove the standard deletion tracks from the harddrive.
