Default interface of FM PDF to DOC Converter Free is very simple to understand, there aren’t a lot of options, but that doesn’t mean that the program doesn’t have a lot of features and that it doesn’t offer a lot to the user that’s searching for a PDF to Word converter.

FM PDF To DOC settings and optionsIn order to start the conversion process you’re gonna have to open up the PDF file you wish to convert, seems like the obvious thing to do. If you were planning on doing mass conversion, we have bad news, FM PDF to Word doesn’t support it. During the introduction we said that this converter doesn’t have a lot of options, but as you can see above, it still packs a lot of them, especially take note of the Page Range option which will only convert some of the pages from you PDF file. Output Word Document option is where you can set where exactly the converted file will be saved. By default it is placed in the same folder as the original file. Below that option, there’s also an option to include or not to include image, select it, and you can start the conversion.

Otherwise the program worked quite alright, lists, special characters and styling were converted, so definitely give FM PDF to DOC converter a chance if you’re looking for a good PDF conversion tool.

Luckily the ads are not too intrusive, except the one that you cannot see above, which shows while the TV channel is being loaded. All the other ads don’t bother that much, and you can enjoy watching the channels, without being nagged with ads all the time. Watch free online TV with Chrome Online TVOn the image above, where we are showing the placement of ads, you can also see the basic interface of Chrome Online TV. This window that you see above will open up as a drop down menu, but if you want it to run independently from the browser, you can click on the upper right corner where it says Pop out, and then the window will run on it’s own. By default the channel list will be populated with your local channels, at least the ones that are being offered by the program. In total there is around 3000 TV stations that you can watch, that’s at least what the website says.

| Free Registry Cleaner: Weeny Free Registry Cleaner Posted: 04 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT
Weeny Free Registry Cleaner is a free registry utility software. The software cleans, repairs, compacts and is even able to backup your windows registry and restore it. Windows users may not know this but their systems use registry entries to store many vital variables. The problem with registry entries is they might be corrupted, fragmented or broken. Weeny Free Registry Cleaner offers a safe platform of taking care of these issues which tend to considerably slow down your system. Weeny Free Registry Cleaner try to restore your registry to its optimum performance by defragmenting entries, deleting unused entries and compacting the registry to make it easier to access. Installation of this registry cleanerThe installer is a bit crammed and you will want to quickly move on to the next step. Like most free applications Weeny Free Registry Cleaner contains adware, in this case, SweetIM Toolbar and SweetIM search for the review version 1.1. Features of this registry cleanerAs compared to most of its competitors it is light weight and very easy to use. The application has three sets of features. The clean and repair registry utility handles most of the work. With it users can,
The backup and restore utility allows users to make an exact copy of their registry which they can use to restore if the need arises. The last set of features is the compact and defragment registry utility. Constant read and write operations cause registry items to be scattered all over memory. Using this feature, you can defragment which in layman terms means to "piece" together fragments of the registry into a larger block in memory. This makes it faster and easier to access. How to use itThe interface is clean and well arranged. With only three menus and a few other buttons, you will easily find your way around. The middle of the interface contains three links each leading to a new user interface. Note that once you have clicked any of the links, you cannot use the same or remaining links until you close the interface. The bottom of the interface keeps a log of program statistics which you can reset using the link provided at the bottom left corner. The clean and repair registry interface contains quite a number of check boxes that allows you to select items to be examined. However, some of the more complex options were not explained-tooltips could have been used to guide users. From the interface, you can choose to examine shortcuts, file associations, uninstallers and many more. The options button which contains program settings is however a bit misplaced. Weeny Free Registry Cleaner is quite a performer but a few freezes can be anticipated when servicing the registry so there is no need for alarm if this happens. Weeny Free Registry Cleaner seems to take it sweet time when compacting the registry which I was willing to forgive since I did not pay a dime for it. I was surprised to see that while the parent window does not allow for resizing the other interface does. However be sure to experience a few undesired effects on the layout when you try to make then too small. ConclusionWeeny Free Registry Cleaner could very well be the best free registry cleaner .

| Lock CD Drive / DVD Drive from Ejecting: LockCD Posted: 04 Jul 2012 06:30 AM PDT
LockCD is a system utility which will help you out if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to prevent the CD/DVD ROM tray on your computer from opening. As the program name suggests, once that you install it, LockCD will allow you to lock CD drive or DVD tray while it is being used in an important computer process, so that there are no interruptions. Technically speaking what you see above is not the default screen of LockCD, as you can see from this very basic and easy to follow interface, 2 optical media readers have already been blocked, or should I say locked. Many of you are probably wondering for what exactly would there be need for someone to lock CD drive or DVD drive, well there’s actually several different situations in which having a program to lock up the optical drive could come in handy, with LockCD you can do exactly that. You can also check out smart PC locker to lock computer when idle. How to lock CD drive /DVD drive with LockCDDon’t be confused by the name of the program LockCD, it doesn’t mean that it only works with CD drives, DVD drives are also supported, and perhaps even Blu-Rays, but we haven’t been able to test it out since we don’t have one. If you own a Blu-Ray and need to lock it up, it doesn’t cost you anything to try it with LockCD, it’s free, and the program is very small, so it doesn’t take a lot of time to install and it doesn’t take up a lot of resources. On the image above you can see that we have 1 CD drive which is blocked and another one which isn’t blocked. The left side contains CD/DVD drives which are available, while on the right we have drives which are locked. Mark the drives which you want to lock or unlock and then use the arrows in the middle to place them on the left, unlocked side, or the right, locked side of the program. Additional options, context drive locking optionsNext to locking and unlocking drives from the main menu, there are also options for doing the same thing from the right click dialog of the drives: At the bottom of the main menu there are two check marks which you can use in order to either disable all currently running blocks, or if you want to allow the program to run during Windows startup. ConclusionAfter a CD/DVD or perhaps even Blu-Ray drive is added to the list of locked drives it will remain unresponsive when you click on the open tray button on the drive. This is great if you are for example listening music from the drive and you don’t want someone inadvertently opening CD tray and stopping the music. Other uses are also possible, if you for example have an important business program running, which uses your optical drive, and it cannot be interrupted, use LockCD to block the eject option on that particular drive, where CD/DVD is located and then simply leave the program running in the tray, not allowing it to open. Great tool, and best of all it’s free, try it and see for yourself how good it is. No related posts.
