TeraCopy

Will — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:06:44 +0000

WHile copying or moving large files from one part of your hard disk to another isn’t generally that strenuous, transferring them between drives can be torturously slow at times – especially if the request involves large or multiple items. TeraCopy not only speeds up transfers considerable but it lets you pause and resume them too.

This basic-looking tool is surprisingly thorough and can detect and remove most types of malware on your system. Choose the drives or areas to target and click Start Scan. It doesn’t require installation so can be run directly from a USB Flash drive, useful if you want to check that someone else’s PC is clean before you use it.

If you’ve ever tried to rename a large group of files in one go you’ll know it can be something of a pain. The standard way to do so in Windows is to select all the items, press F2, type a name and hit Enter, but it’s much easier to use a tool like Rename Master. It can add, remove, or replace parts of a filename, number a sequence, change the title case and so on.

Driver Sweeper

Driver Sweeper is designed to remove unwanted drivers from your system – ones left over when you upgrade your video card or change your printer, for example. To use it just uninstall the old hardware, optionally reboot your PC into safe mode, then run the software. It’s not a program everyone will need, but if you upgrade your hardware on a regular basis if could come in handy.

Minimum Requirements: XP/Vista
