CSearcher is a simple and fast free non-indexing search program. Searching computer files and folders is rather common for every PC user daily. Using standard Windows Explorer solution for this has many disavantages: it's slow, uses lots of RAM and many times it does not find what we are looking for!
CSearcher gives users a more advanced file searching tool alternative. CSearcher includes all features of Windows Explorer search and adds many unique features.

Freeware

Changelog

New:

    Completely redesigned delete code. Permanently deleting objects is now much faster. Up to 5x faster than Windows Explorer.
    Before deleting objects a new options dialog is displayed with possibility to skip errors. Shift+delete is now allowed.
    While deleting objects there is now a new form with progress details.

Fixed:

    Results view last state when loaded was not reflected properly.

Balabolka is a feature-rich program to read text aloud from a variety of file types including DOC, RTF, PDF, ODT, FB2 and HTML. The program uses Microsoft's own Speech API 4 and 5, but lets you fine tune various voice parameters, including rate and pitch, and a substitution list can also be applied to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. The program supports customized font and background color, skins, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys.

Balabolka can also save the synchronized text to external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. When the audio file is played with players on a computer or on modern digital audio players, the text will be displayed synchronously (in the same way as lyrics for songs).

This tool allows an easy and comfortable way to download genuine Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 disk images (ISO) directly from Microsoft's servers, as well as Office 2007, Office 2010, Office 2013, Office 2016, and Office 2011 for Mac.

In the past Microsoft provided disk images for many of their products through their subcontractor "Digital River". These downloads were pulled in early 2014. Afterwards, Microsoft made a limited selection of downloads available on their TechBench site. Our tool accesses that TechBench site, and unlocks a large number of hidden download files on it.

SideSlide is a desktop extension that docks to any screen edge. It allows you to store your favorite RSS feeds, shortcuts to files/folders/URLs, notes, reminders etc. in "containers" that you can arrange, shrink and fold in the workspace. You can also drag-and-drop text/images from your web browser to the workspace to create web snippets.

License:    Freeware

Changelog

New and Changes

    New and Improved RSS functionality:


    - Toggle highlighting of RSS search terms for each container ('Track Subjects').
    - 'Recent Search Terms' is now called 'Subject Tracker' to better describe the functionality.
    - Both headline and content are always searched (Descriptions/Headlines checkboxes removed).
    - You can now track up to 20 different subjects.
    - Add subjects to track from the new 'Add...' menu item. RSS search terms entered in the RSS Search dialog are also be added to the Subject Tracker list.
    - The subject you're tracking now appears in front of the headline.
    - RSS Settings menu items Article Tooltip, Built-in Viewer and Load on Startup options have been removed from the Settings dialog. Toggle 'Article tooltip' and 'Built-in viewer' for each RSS container and use the "/loadrss" command line option to download all headlines on startup.

    More:


    - Keyboard Launcher: Create quick notes by entering 'n:' or 'note:' followed by text.
    - You can now designate a container as a "Startup container" by naming a single container "#STARTUP" (the number sign followed by the word STARTUP in all caps). All of the shortcuts inside this container will be launched on program startup.
    - When launching the program (SideSlide.exe) when it's already running from the same location, the workspace will undock/collapse. You can use this functionality to show/hide SideSlide using 3rd party tools (e.g. The Microsoft Surface Pen shortcut button or a special mouse button).
    - You can now control the spacing between shortcuts for each container using the new container right click menu option: Arrange >> Double Line Spacing.
    - The Double Line Spacing option has been moved from the Settings dialog to the Arrange menu (affects spacing between workspace shortcuts).
    - The option to show or hide the thin border line when the workspace is collapsed has been moved from the Settings to the Appearance dialog above the border color selector.
    - About dialog is now centered relative to the workspace.
    - The Floating Toolbar has been removed (I'm not sure if anyone was using it and it wasn't really intuitive). Add new objects to the workspace using the right click menu.
    - Display the Speed Launch list showing all the shortcuts selected for Speed Launch (launch using 1-9) using the '/' key (forward slash). You can still show this dialog using the '?' key (question mark), but this option might be disabled in future versions.
    - Saving/backing-up when the workspace is unlocked for 10 seconds (to quickly reposition objects) will now lock the workspace before saving the settings file.
    - Shortcuts to the user name (profile), pictures and documents folders are added to the workspace on new installations.
    - The initial workspace position changed to the upper left part of the screen (as opposed to the center top) for new installations.
    - Select colors for different objects (Appearance dialog) by clicking the labels and not just the color boxes.
    - Settings dialog slightly reorganized.
    - Removed previous years (2016 and down) from the Reminder dialog 'Year' selection list.
    - Removed 'Faint Fadeout' from the Container effects list.
    - Removed Settings option: Focus on Expand/Unfold. The 'Grab Focus' option determines whether the workspace grabs focus (for keyboard input) or not when undocked. By default, the workspace will only grab the focus when you click it or use the Global Hotkey. You can use the mouse wheel to scroll through RSS news feeds without grabbing the keyboard/mouse focus.
    - New wallpaper (Bricks.jpg)
    - Multiple misc. minor changes.

Fixes


    - Starting all shortcuts (by dbl-clicking the container icon, if the option was selected or from the container Shortcuts menu), wasn't working properly.
    - Double-Clicking a container icon (when shrunk) could have triggered 'Start all shortcuts' even when the option wasn't selected.
    - Using the keyboard launcher to open URLs that had the same name as a shortcut failed.
    - The workspace could appear to be in focus when the keyboard input was still going to another window.
    - RSS Search: Clicking a 'Recent Search Item' (now called 'Subject Tracker') to re-launch a search could sometimes fail.
    - Fixed backup link under the About dialog.
    - The Keyboard Launcher didn't reset back to its original state when clearing the textbox (Using Esc, backspace, etc).
    - Other misc. fixes.

Keypirinha is a semantic launcher for keyboard ninjas on Windows.

It is a very generic tool hand-crafted with love by a nerd for nerds that allows to execute any kind of task using your keyboard only, by typing a small fraction of its name. May it be to start an application, to open a file, a web bookmark, or more exotic tasks like evaluating a mathematical expression in- line, or launching a PuTTY/FileZilla/WinSCP session directly, ...

It has been designed to allow lightning fast searches, to have a small memory footprint and a file-driven configuration scheme. It is also battery friendly.
