Many people that brings laptop to work normally faces a problem in switching between network configurations because at home normally you can just set obtain this settings automatically using DHCP and it would work but in corporate networks, they probably require a more strict and specific configuration to allow the network administrator work easier. We have previously covered SwitchNetConfig, a free tool that lets you switch network configurations with a click.
We have discovered another similar application called TCP/IP Manager which does the same. You are able to save up to 10 network profiles which should be more than enough. As for TCP/IP settings, you can get configure which adapter to change and then the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server. Once you have your profile saved, you can easily switch by right clicking on the TCP/IP Manager icon at the system tray and select from the list. If you have 5 profiles, it will only show 5 on the list.
The good thing about TCP/IP Manager is when it is running, it takes up very little memory, as low as few hundred K but never more than a MB. This application is free and runs on Windows.

Searching and installing the drivers of devices in computer is the first thing that a person normally does after reformatting a computer and reinstalling a clean version of Windows. Without a working driver, the hardware wouldn’t function at all in Windows. Saving the drivers might be a problem for some people as it is seldom being used. One easy way to backup the current driver to make it into a driver pack auto installer is by using Double Driver.
The newly released Double Driver 4.0 contains a new engine that is faster and dependencies for 7-zip32.dll and msbvm60.dll are removed. The ability to backup non booting Windows’ drivers has been improved. You can plug in the hard drive to a working computer and then use Double Driver to scan for drivers by clicking the Scan Other System button and select the drive of the non live Windows.
The normal backing up and restoring process is very easy with Double Driver. After launching the program click Backup from the menu and then click the Scan Current System button. By default the third party drivers are selected and clicking the Backup Now button lets you select where to save the drivers and also in what output. The best output that we think would work best is the single file self extract which can auto restore the drivers without running the Double Driver.

Here is another improvement on Windows 7 which allows you to customize any folder with picture background and also a custom icon. Windows XP can already support this but it does not have an easy way to do it and it has to be done using a hidden desktop.ini file with ExtShellFolderViews data. For Windows 7, to add a picture to the background, simply right click on the Folder and select Properties. Then go to Customize tab, click Choose File to set a picture as the folder background and Change Icon button to change the folder icon to something else.
For Windows XP, it won’t be as easy as Windows 7. However, you can also pretty much do the same similar to Windows 7 by using an application called Custom Folder or Folder Background. We are not sure which is the official name for this application because at the website it mentioned Custom Folder but the software title is Folder Background.
Anyway, to create the desktop.ini which reflects the folder background and icon, run Custom Folder and select the Path that you want to change. Then click on the Picture icon to select the image to set as the folder background. If you want to set a custom color instead, click on the Color button. Finally the Icon button lets you set a custom icon for that folder. Click Save and a desktop.ini will be created.

A photographer normally ends up with tons of photos in their computer and if not regularly maintained, the photos will end up everywhere and it is not going to be easy to search for the photos you wanted. If you normally save all your photos into one folder, you can easily organize it by moving them to the appropriate folder based on year, month and if possible date. An unmodified photo normally maintains the EXIF data where it saves the “Date Taken” value in the photo itself. Manually checking on the photo EXIF details is going to take you days to finish doing it.
You can try using Adebis Photo Sorter to automatically create folders based on year, month and date and move the photos to the appropriate folders. First you select the source of where the photos are located and you can set it to crawl subfolders too. And then set the destination of where you want the photos to move to. The subfolder drop down selection allows you to set whether the photos based on the date structure. There is filters for you to set the specific date and also file types.
We have tested this application and it works only on untouched and unmodified photo. If the photo has been previously edited with Adobe Photoshop or any other similar photo editing software, then Adebis Photo Sorter doesn’t copy the photo to the structure. Adebis Photo Sorter works on Windows 95/98/Me/2000/2003/NT4/XP/Vista/7
