Recently Belarc and 3M Post-it Notes added new features

Recently Belarc and 3M Post-it Notes added new features I recommend you investigate. And AJsystems has released a noteworthy backup program for Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail.

Belarc Advisor (www.belarc.com) a free program that builds a detailed profile of your installed software and hardware, missing Microsoft hotfixes, anti-virus status, CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks and displays the results in your Web browser (which can be saved or printed) has added a useful new feature.

By clicking on Software Versions & Usage all your programs and their current versions will be displayed. To the left of each program are icons that when you mouse over them provide additional information such as when they were last accessed and by whom they were accessed. And by clicking on either of the icons displayed, you’ll be relocated to where the .exe file and all the other program’s files are located.

Having a printout of a detailed profile of your system can often assist your technician in diagnosing a problem. And knowing a program’s version can be helpful to those who want to keep their programs current.

3 M’s Post-it Digital Notes ($19.99) in my opinion is by far the most useful feature filled Desktop sticky note software available.

In addition to being able to conveniently post notes on your Desktop and if you’re so inclined, format their text and organizing them in memo boards, you can now use the Post-it Digital Notes Bookmark feature to create notes with Web content that contains images, text and a URL to the website.

For example. If during a Web search or just surfing I find a site(s) I want to make available for future reference but do not necessarily want to add it permanently to my Favorites collection, I click on a Post-it icon on my Internet Explorer or Monzilla Firefox menu bar. A Post-it Note is created on my Desktop containing a link back to the web site with a description of the site.

If I want to create a Post-it note to include a picture and the URL to the site, I simply highlight the picture on the Web site and click the Post-it icon.

Post-it is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible.

AJsystems (www.ajsystems.com) the software company best known for its Outlook Express and Outlook backup and restore utility programs has released a proven backup and restore utility for Windows Mail [WM] and Windows Live Mail [WLM] (29.95) that is Windows 7, Vista and XP compatible.

Here’s wishing you a Good Boot.
