QikFix 4.4.04 (Windows)

Overview:

File Shredder: This is a utility that not only permanently deletes a file but it destroys it first, making it completely unrecoverable and unreadable. It rewrites all sectors and pointers used by the file. It can even shred all the free space on your hard drive without damaging existing files. It rewrites all sectors and pointers of the previous files that you have deleted, thus making them unrecoverable. Did you know that the US government can recover a file even if you reformat because it still exists? Well now you can simply rewrite all those sectors and pointers without having to Low Level Format, Fdisk and Format. Learn how files are recovered. File verifier: Have you ever opened a program and as the program loads you get a message that an unknown error has occurred? Or a General Protection Fault? Does your system freeze for no reason? Well most of the time it is a file problem. Some programs may have replaced a DLL file with an older version, or maybe a newer version that turns out to be incompatible with your software. Well this little gem will find all the files that have replaced your original Windows files. It will report files that are older, newer, as well as the files that are not Windows files. It then will even extract and install the files you want to replace. It can even verify IE 4.0 and 5.0 files. Shut Down all Programs: Have you been looking for a program that will close all running programs quickly so that you can install new software? Tired of using Control-Alt-Delete, a process that is laborious at best? Well we have one for you now! It clears the programs that start on bootup then logs you off and back on. You don't even have to reboot. And with the click of a button it restores all your startup programs. Memory Manager: QikFix even has a Memory Utilization utility that can tell you exactly how large you need to make your Swap File, how much RAM you really need to buy, and how large your maximum Swap File should be. It can even tell you which of your programs are memory hogs and how much free disk space you really need to maintain. If you are a real power user you will find this utility to be invaluable. Expand/Compress Wizard: Have you ever needed to replace a file (I'm sure you have on more then one occasion), only to find out you have to install the entire program because all the files are compressed? Well now you can replace that file in seconds. This utility will even compress a file for you if you ever have the need to. A great tool for developers. Optimization Wizard: Since most companies write utilities to help the beginners optimize their system, we built one too, only better. The difference is that ours checks and optimizes 11 different things instead of the normal 2 or 3. System Information: Have you ever wanted to know about the cache, that is, how much you have and what it's doing? This tool can tell you all sorts of information about your system or drives and it takes less then a second to gather all this information. It will tell you how many Reads and Writes have occurred, how long the OS has been running, what build number you are currently using, accurately display large drive specifications including the cluster count, and much more. It will tell you everything you need to know about any drive on your computer or network. Cache: Here is a utility that will allow you to tell Windows how to use your available Cache. Adjusting the way the Cache is used adjusts the way Windows uses your Swap File and your RAM. If you have 96 megs of RAM and do not set limits on the Cache, Windows will start using a Swap File when you still have about 30 megs of RAM free. Just another way Microsoft likes to waste resources. Folder Comparison: You can compare the contents of any two folders, and copy files between the two folders. A great tool for finding program and system files that have been replaced with older files. A great feature of this utility is if you have a network and one computer is giving you a problem and the other is not. Run this utility comparing the two Windows\System folders looking for different DLLs. Preferences: We saved the best for last. Now you can control what programs your kids or other people are allowed to use. Control who has access to RegEdit or any other program. You can remove all Icons from your desktop, remove the Run label or the Shut Down label and more. You can even get rid of the Log in window when you boot up. Or you can create your own message window to appear when you boot up.
