		<description><![CDATA[View, manage and send emails for multiple email accounts of all the main types in one easy to use package. Pop Peeper works with Google email (gmail), Hotmail and other web based email systems as well as standard windows clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird. Get control of your email!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Viewing and managing multiple accounts – that sounds good</h2>
<p>I run multiple email accounts covering my personal needs, accounts for ProReviewer email, work email, a spam trap account for when I have to register but am unsure if the email details will be sold on, a hotmail account for Windows Live id, Google Gmail accounts&#160; and others. These become difficult, or at least a lot of work, to check and manage. Just being able to view all emails from a single application without having to login to multiple accounts and websites is a real bonus. </p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/PopPeeper_Logo.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="PopPeeper_Logo" border="0" alt="PopPeeper_Logo" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/PopPeeper_Logo_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="49" /></a> </p>
<p>I wrote a post about a utility call PopMan a while back (<a href="http://proreviewer.com/2008/06/22/popman-13-portable-email-management-on-your-desktop-and-on-the-move/" target="_blank" target="_blank">PopMan 1.3 &#8211; Portable Email Management on Your Desktop and on the Move</a>) I used this for a while but found that not being able to view HTML emails was too restrictive as so much email now is based on HTML. My search for a portable freeware email reader led me to find PopPeeper which I have used at home, at work and on the move for more than a year. The ability to be able to read all my emails and delete those I don&#8217;t want to keep from a single, fast acting utility is brilliant and a huge timesaver. The fact that it is portable so that I can transfer a single setup to all my computers and have it on a USB stick I can use on other PC’s is a great timesaver and means that I always see the same interface, the same colour codings, etc.</p>
<h2>What’s is PopPeeper?</h2>
<p><b>The PopPeeper website has a good description which I have repeated below. However PopPeeper is far more than just an email notifier. It allows you to:</b></p>
<p>Setup multiple accounts of all different types (Web/POP/IMAP/Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo?etc)</p>
<ul>
<li>Be notified when emails arrive </li>
<li>Read emails in plain text or HTML </li>
<li>View emails from all or individual accounts </li>
<li>Delete emails* </li>
<li>Send emails </li>
<li>Keep an email address book </li>
<li>View linked WebPages in PopPeeper message window or default web browser </li>
<li>Allows attachments to be opened </li>
</ul>
<p><em>*Some web based emails such as Google’s Gmail do not “play nicely” and emails cannot be deleted from the account using PopPeeper- however as Gmail has a large storage capacity this will not pose a major problem for the average user</em></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p><b>Description from the PopPeeper <a href="http://www.poppeeper.com/" target="_blank" target="_blank">website</a></b></p>
<p> <strong></strong>
<ul>
<li>POP Peeper is an email notifier that runs in your Windows task bar and alerts you when you have new email on your POP3, IMAP (with IDLE support), Hotmail\MSN\LiveMail, Yahoo, GMail, MyWay, Excite, iWon, Lycos.com, RediffMail, Juno and NetZero accounts.       </li>
<li>IMAP supports allows you to access AOL, AIM, Netscape and other services. Send mail directly from POP Peeper and use the address book to email your frequently used contacts.      </li>
<li>POP Peeper allows you to view messages using HTML or you can choose to safely view all messages in rich or plain text.      </li>
<li>Several options are available that will decrease or eliminate the risks of reading your email (viruses, javascript, webbugs, etc).      </li>
<li>POP Peeper can be run from a portable device and can be password protected.      </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What’s is Borderline?</h2>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Borderline_System_Tray_Icon.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="Borderline_System_Tray_Icon" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Borderline_System_Tray_Icon_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Borderline_System_Tray_Icon" width="192" height="73" /></a></p>
<p>Borderline is a tiny utility program that simply moves any windows outside the screen area of your computer monitor (or monitors in a dual + monitor setup) completely within the screen area.</p>

<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>
<p>Sometimes Windows move off the screen area of your monitor. This may be for many reasons such as changing resolution of the monitor or changing from a multi-monitor setup to a single monitor. Whatever the cause it can be extremely frustrating and even worse, if the Window does not show in the Windows Taskbar area. This post on <a href="http://proreviewer.com/2008/08/25/recover-hidden-off-screen-windows-with-this-simple-tip-and-freeware-program-forcewindowvisible/" target="_blank" target="_blank">Recover Hidden &amp; Off-screen Windows with this Simple Tip and Freeware Program ForceWindowVisible</a> will give you more information with:</p>
<ul>
<li>A way of moving windows on screen using “Windows Standard Move Function” (slow and requires the window to be shown in the Taskbar)</li>
<li>A small portable utility called ForceWindowsVisible</li>
</ul>
<p>The advantage of Borderline over ForceWindowsVisible is that it is simple and quick. Also ForceWindowsVisible can cause problems if you hide or unhide windows that are not meant to be seen or not meant to be hidden by mistake (or maybe just “experimenting” <img src='http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>When Borderline is run it moves al windows within the borders of the monitor screen(s) and then closes. This means you have to run it each time but has the advantage that it does not run in the background using memory and CPU.</p>
<h2>What Does It Do &#8211; The Essentials?</h2>
<h3>Summary:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Moves all open Windows completely on screen of the monitor (or monitors in a multi-monitor setup</li>
<li>Borderline closes down after running</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pros: What&#8217;s Good?</h3>
<p><strong>Features &amp; Benefits</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Freeware</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-3309"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Portable</li>
<li>Very Simple to Use</li>
<li>Tiny</li>
<li>Handy Help file (html)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cons:What&#8217;s Not So Good?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Option to run continuously in the background would be useful</li>
<li>Need to create shortcut to run conveniently</li>
</ul>

<h2>More About What it Does in Detail:</h2>

<p>The <a href="http://www.taenarum.com/software/" target="_blank" target="_blank">James’s Software</a> website gives the following details:</p>
<blockquote>
<h5><a href="http://www.taenarum.com/Borderline.zip" target="_blank" target="_blank">Borderline v1.0.0</a></h5>
<ul>
<li>Moves windows to be within the screen borders. When changing the screen orientation on my Tablet PC, or when connecting from a single-headed client to a multi-headed host with remote desktop, some windows occasionally get left outside the screen.</li>
<li>For Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The following description is taken from the included html help file:</p>
<blockquote><p>
 </p>
<h4>Description</h4>
<p>Some applications have a habit of appearing outside the screen. This can happen when applications remember their last window position between runs and if the desktop resolution or monitor configuration changed in the meantime. This is not uncommon with remote desktop when the client and server have different screen resolutions or monitor configurations. This sometimes also occurs if a system changes its desktop resolution frequently, such as when Tablet PCs change their display orientation.</p>
<p>Or some applications don&#8217;t behave well if the taskbar is docked to the top- or left- edges of the screen.</p>
<p>Or maybe you want an application window to be aligned <em>exactly</em> to a screen edge.</p>
<p>Borderline takes all windows that fall off the edge of the screen and moves them back into the screen bounds. For multi-monitor systems, each window will be moved to rest wholly on its nearest screen.

<h2>What’s This About?</h2>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/multires-158-banner.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="MultiRes_158_Banner" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="94" alt="MultiRes_158_Banner" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/multires-158-banner-thumb.jpg" width="241" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>MultiRes by Entech has been around for quite a while. It allows the screen display settings to be quickly and easily changed from the system tray or from the command line. The settings provided in the system tray are for supported values* for the screen and graphics adapter however non-standard or not supported values can be set from the command line which means batch files can be written to quickly change between different settings.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em><font color="#0000ff">* The “supported” values are presumably obtained from the combination of the graphics card and monitor settings held by the system. If appears if the system only has a default monitor that some display settings may not actually be supported by the monitor.</font></em></p>

<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>There are lots of reasons why you may want to change the screen resolution and other graphics related settings for different applications such as&#160; changing from office types applications to graphics, video, games, etc. </p>
<p>Another possible reason is to fit fixed sized windows onto a small display. I recently purchased a Samsung NC10 Netbook (great piece of kit which I would recommend to anyone wanting a small ultraportable solution). A small problem I experienced quite early on was that the display resolution of 1024 X 600 pixels. This meant that some of the standard software I use has fixed size “Option” screens which are deeper than 600 pixels so that some options and buttons were off the bottom of the display. I needed a solution that would allow me to quickly change the display settings to a non-standard size so that I could manage these types of windows before switching back to the standard (native) resolution. While MultiRes won’t display non-standard (supported) resolutions it would allow changing to them using the command line.</p>

<p><!-- Adsense Start -->MMM Free is a utility that runs in the background that automatically alters the Explorer context menu to a configuration that you can choose. MMM Free is a cut down version of a shareware product but it does a very good job of moving items that you use infrequently to a “Rarely Used” Submenu. It is a good alternative to using ShellExView which was reviewed earlier. <a href="http://proreviewer.com/2008/10/07/control-your-context-menu-items-with-shellexview/" target="_blank" target="_blank">Control Your Context Menu Items with ShellExView</a></p>

<p>When ShellExView was reviewed I said:</p>
<blockquote><p>MS Windows provides many shell extensions as part of the OS. Also lots of programs add their own commands to the Explore context menu, Internet Explorer, etc. when they are installed to help with using the program. This makes the right click context menu in the system applications very useful for carrying out all sorts of operations and commands, however they can become cluttered with commands you never need or use. This can make it difficult to find what you want.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>MMM Free allows you to still have all the context menu items available but in a sub menu to the single line “Rarely Used” in the context menu rather than switching them off permanently (or until you enable them again using the ShellExView program). So MMM Free gives you the option of always having all the context menu items but in a more user friendly and manageable arrangement.</p>

<p>CMenuExtender is a small utility that will allow you to create your own Windows Explorer context menu. (That’s the menu that appears when you right click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer).</p>

<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>

<p>The Windows Explorer right click context menu can be very useful for carrying out all sorts of operations and commands. Many programs add their own commands to the context menu when they are installed to help with the program. Have you ever wanted to be able to copy or move a file to a specified directory as the following screenshot shows:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cmenuextender-example.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="CMenuExtender_Example" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="191" alt="CMenuExtender_Example" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cmenuextender-example-thumb.jpg" width="342" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Here you can see items added by the Teracopy, WinRar, WinZip and Unlocker programs, all of which help in using the program&gt;</p>
<p>With CMenuExtender you can create your own specific commands to do a wide variety of things, such as running specific programs to open particular files, moving or copying files to specific directories, running a DOS command, get information on the file and many other thins including user specified items.</p>

<p><em>* Frequently test the commands in explorer as you create them in CMenuExtender to see if problems occur.

		<description><![CDATA[Copernic Desktop Search has been my desktop search utility of choice for sometime. The new version 3 removes essential functions to a paid version so time to find a new free utility.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">
<h2>What’s This About?</h2>
<p>Copernic Desktop Search has been my desktop search utility of choice for sometime. The main reasons for this were</p>
<ol>
<li>Searching Network Shares </li>
<li>Reasonably stable </li>
<li>OK Interface </li>
</ol>
<p>and in that order!</p>
<p>There are obviously other desktop search products out there and I have tried most of them. I quite like Google but I don’t like the browser interface. X1 has a great interface with lots of options for refining searches and setting personal searches but won’t index network shares in the free version. MS Windows product was not as good as other solutions but I will certainly be looking at the new version 4 in the next few days. Anyway up till now I have been using Copernic on my home network to index 3 desktop PCs, 2 Laptops, my Windows Home Server drives and my NAS boxes.</p>
<p>Yesterday I was greeted by the following message box while suing Copernic Desktop Search 2.3:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-notice.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Notice" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="193" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Notice" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-notice-thumb.jpg" width="398" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>A major new version &quot;update” (note they don’t use the word upgrade) is always interesting with the promise of new features and options. </p>
<p>In fact the message box states:</p>
<blockquote><p>We recommend that you update the current version to benefit from the latest features and improvements.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I duly updated by letting the automatic download and install process run.</p>
<p align="left"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<h2>What Did I Find?</h2>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p> <span id="more-2548"></span>
<p>When Copernic 3 restarted I immediately noticed 2 things:</p>
<ol>
<li>My <strong>Saved Searches</strong> were no longer there</li>
<li>The Preview Pane was showing     <br />(I normally don’t have it displayed)</li>
</ol>
<p>OK, I though lets check this out and reset the options. </p>
<h3>My Searches</h3>
<p>So I clicked on “My Searches” in the menu bar to be greeted by a popup window with the following banner at the top:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-feature-not-available-top.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Feature_Not_Available_Top" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="81" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Feature_Not_Available_Top" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-feature-not-available-top-thumb.jpg" width="443" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>
<p><i></i></p>
</p>
<h3>Strike 1</h3>
<p><em><font color="#0000ff">This post will follow the usual format of presenting&#160; information as screenshots backed up by further written details.</font></em></p>
<p><em><font color="#0000ff">(click on any picture to enlarge where necessary)</font></em></p>
<p>Next I tried to reset the Preview Pane to off:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-preview-pane.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Preview_Pane" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="103" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Preview_Pane" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-preview-pane-thumb.jpg" width="244" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>Again I was told this feature was only available in non-freeware versions:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-feature-not-available.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Feature_Not_Available" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="212" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Feature_Not_Available" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-feature-not-available-thumb.jpg" width="244" border="0" /></a>&#160; </p>
<h3>Strike 2</h3>
<h2>So What Features Are Free?</h2>
<p>So at this point I clicked on the <strong>Compare</strong> link in the popup window. This took me to the Copernic site and a handy table showing what was available in the freeware and paid versions:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-features-available.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Features_Available" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Features_Available" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-features-available-thumb.jpg" width="153" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>Well as you can see there are a lot of free features in the free version and many of those missing are probably of less interest to many users not in a corporate environment. However for my use the following are essential:</p>
<ol>
<li>Index Network Drives</li>
<li>Save Searches</li>
<li>Search Outlook Appointments</li>
</ol>
<p>The ability to turn off the preview pane to speed up searches while not absolutely essential fell into the “highly desirable” category.</p>
<h2>What Next?</h2>
<p>Looking at the search results all my previous network share results were still there so I had a look at the files options dialog to find the previously defined network shares were still there&gt;</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-network-add.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Network_Add" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="319" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Network_Add" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-network-add-thumb.jpg" width="297" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>Well that looked like a bit of a bonus so I tried adding a new network share:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-network.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Network" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="142" alt="Copernic_Desktop_Search_Downgrade_Network" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/copernic-desktop-search-downgrade-network-thumb.jpg" width="356" border="0" /></a> </p>
<h3>Strike 3 and Out</h3>
<p><strong><font color="#0000ff">Sorry Copernic, this was essential for me and I am not paying $49.95 when there are other free products that will do the job, so unfortunately Copernic Desktop Search 3 you are out <img src='http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></strong></p>

<h2>ProReviewer Conclusions</h2>
<p>I am always disappointed, frustrated and sometimes a little angry when free products are crippled or become a paid offering. That said commercial organizations have to make decisions on the financial viability and alternative income streams that they get through free products. The difficulty that I see in all of this is that there are often good alternatives and sometimes you find the free alternatives are better than the paid for product. When that happens not only have you lost a customer but you have shown your competitors are better and for free.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#0000ff">As I said in the opening I will be looking at Windows Search 4 and will revisit some of the other free search software programs in the next few days. The worse case scenario is reinstalling Copernic 2 for the time being.</font></strong></p>

<h2>What’s This About?</h2>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/edison-banner.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img style="border-width: 0px;" title="Edison_bANNER" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/edison-banner-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Edison_bANNER" width="244" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>Edison is a program that allows you to change and save the standard windows power options in a simple interface for two different times “Work” and “Other”. It also has a simple scheduling option to switch between the two on a once per day basis.</p>
<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>
<p>You can easily change the standard Windows <strong>Power Options Properties</strong> by selecting <strong>Power Options</strong> in <strong>Control Panel</strong> as the last post  <a href="http://proreviewer.com/2008/09/28/windows-power-schemes-set-and-forget-to-reduce-your-electricity-bill/" target="_blank" target="_blank">Windows Power Schemes &#8211; Set and Forget to Reduce Your Electricity Bill</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/windows-power-options-properties.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img style="border-width: 0px;" title="Windows_Power_Options_Properties" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/windows-power-options-properties-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Windows_Power_Options_Properties" width="217" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see from the post under the Windows <strong>Power Options Properties &#8211; Power Schemes</strong> tab you can change all the options which are more than in Edison, you can also save as many different power schemes as you want. <em>The advantage of Edison lies in the ability to automatically schedule two different power schemes to suit your pattern of use.</em></p>
<h2>What Does It Do &#8211; The Essentials?</h2>
<h3>Summary:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Quick and Simple Setting of 2 Power schemes</li>
<li>Schedule Switching between the schemes once per day</li>
<li>Helps save power for desktop PCs</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pros: What&#8217;s Good?</h3>
<p><strong>Features &amp; Benefits</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Freeware</li>
<li>See estimated savings</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-2533"></span></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<h3>Cons:What&#8217;s Not So Good?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Register to Activate</li>
<li>Single registration/activation per installation*</li>
<li>Can’t use without activation (therefore need an active Internet connection )</li>
<li>Needs .NET 2.0 installed</li>
</ul>
<p><em>* This is an unnecessary pain and will put people off.</em></p>

<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>

<p>Many computers are run 24/7 as a matter of convenience rather than necessity. Just to be able to get on the computer instantly without waiting for what might be quite a long boot period and get to your emails or instantly access web pages is a convenience. This is trade doff against the cost of running the PC and the consequential use of “scarce” resources, carbon footprint, global warming and a general disregard for he environment and future availability of resources for our children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>I am as bad as anyone and worse than many. I run several computers and some of them run 24/7 because I need them to be doing scheduled actions while&#160; am not actively using them. These include indexing, backups, fetching email, etc. so the information is ready and available when I need. The fact is that these computers could be shutdown for several hours a day when I am at work or asleep without any real inconvenience. In fact unless your running a server of some sort or downloading over P2P networks you really don’t need any computer running all the time.</p>
<p>The recent severe increases in oil and gas prices has been a bit of a wake up call and started to make me look at ways of reducing my energy consumption so I can get the bills down. I am ashamed to admit it is the impact on my pocket and not my impact on the environment that has spurred me into action <img src='http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I am across WakeupOnStandBy in a search for a freeware program that would allow me to schedule the time my computer was running to suit my daily./weekly programme. As you will see it is not a perfect solution and could do with a bit of work to make it easier to use but it will certainly do the job needed with a little bit of perseverance.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#0000ff">However, if you want to save yourself some money or feel you should do your bit to preserve our planet it is worth a bit of effort to set up the necessary schedules <img src='http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h2>What Does It Do &#8211; The Essentials?</h2>
<h3>Summary:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Wakes up your computer from Standby or Hibernation </li>
<li>Puts the computer into Standby or Hibernation Mode </li>
<li>Allows for scheduling based on time, days, and weeks </li>
<li>Runs programs on Startup or Shutdown/Hibernate </li>
<li>Saves power for desktop PCs </li>
<li>Saves battery life for laptop PCs </li>
</ul>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h3>Pros: What&#8217;s Good?</h3>
<p><b>Features &amp; Benefits</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Freeware </li>
</ul>
<p><img class="mceWPmore mceItemNoResize" title="More..." alt="" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" mce_src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" /></p>
<p> <span id="more-2403"></span>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiple Schedules </li>
<li>Versatile </li>
<li>Good Options </li>
<li>Portable Program </li>
<li>Save batch files from GUI </li>
<li>Run from GUI or batch files/command line </li>
</ul>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h3>Cons:What&#8217;s Not So Good?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not completely intuitive </li>
<li>Help could be better structured </li>
<li>Logic would be better to schedule shutdown first and then wakeup </li>
<li>Shutdown to a time/day schedule      <br />(not x hours/mins/secs after wakeup) </li>
</ul>
<p><em><font color="#0000ff">So there are quite a few Cons but I could not find a better freeware alternative to fill the needs of having a schedule that could be varied over different days and have multiple instances of standby/wakeup within a day.</font></em></p>
<p><em><font color="#0000ff">You also need to set your BIOS to handle “wakeup” events in S1 or S3 mode (S3 mode recommended as this is minimum power use)&#160; Google <strong><font color="#000000">BIOS S1 S3</font></strong> to find suitable instructions on how to do this. There is a very good set of instructions available for a shareware product but it would be unfair to provide a link to these from a page reviewing a “competing” freeware product</font></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What’s This About?</h2>
<p><a href="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/crosshairs-taskbar-icon.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank"><img title="CrossHairs_Taskbar_Icon" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="36" alt="CrossHairs_Taskbar_Icon" src="http://proreviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/crosshairs-taskbar-icon-thumb.jpg" width="167" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>CrossHairs is a very small program/utility that will display a vertical and horizontal line on the monitor at the mouse cursor position. It can be set to be static at the original position or to follow the mouse position.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

</p>
<p> <script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />
<h2>Why Would You Want It?</h2>
<p>CrossHair has 5 obvious functions:</p>
<ol>
<li>As an aid to lining up graphics and text for page layouts </li>
<li>As an aid to estimating values on graphs and charts </li>
<li>To pinpoint the mouse cursor position on &quot;busy&quot; screens or difficult backgrounds </li>
<li>As an aid to people with impaired vision </li>
<li>To help young children spot the mouse position </li>
</ol>
<p>I have found it very useful for all of the first 3 items over the past couple of years, particular 1 &amp; 2. I am also sure it will be a great help to people with impaired vision or for children.</p>
<h2>What Does It Do &#8211; The Essentials?</h2>

<ul>
<li>Shows vertical and horizontal lines activated by Hotkeys </li>
