Dirkey is a small utility that enables you to define bookmarks for folders and go back to these bookmarked folders from within File Open/Save dialogs and Windows Explorer. You can set and go to these bookmarks using your keyboard or your mouse. When Dirkey is active you can press Ctrl+Alt+0..9 in e.g. an Open/Save File dialog and a bookmark will be set on the current folder. You can go to any bookmarked folder by using Ctrl+0..9 in the same or another supported window. All bookmarks are global and are preserved when you turn your computer off. You can also open bookmarked folders in a new Explorer window all for FREE. GO THERE!.

Check out The Longest... where you will find an interesting list of the FIRST 100 .com domains registered. Many of the names you probably haven't heard of, some still ring a bell, and some of them are still accessible. The most interesting fact is that it took 2 years to get the first 100 domains on-line.

There are a lot of disk defrag tools on the market for you to buy. UltraDefrag is powerful Open Source (FREE) defragmentation tool for Windows XP and Vista. It is very fast, because the defragmenting is done by kernel-mode driver. They are three interfaces available: graphical, console and native. The GUI is very useful, because it represents your filesystem visually as a color coded cluster map. The console is another option for those that prefer the command line. It is also allows you to run from the task scheduler and scripts. Finally, it can be run at boot time in a manner similar to chkdsk. Check out the recently updated UltraDefrag if you ever need to defrag.

Mp3 Share The Barenaked Ladies

The Barenaked Ladies are great and even better live. They just released a new DVD/CD combo called "Talk To The Hand - Live in Michigan". It is just a collection of 15 of their best know songs recorded live at a concert. If you like the feeeling produced by a live concert then you might want to add this to your collection. Shared with you this week is one of my favorites from this album...Laying in bed just like "Brian Wilson" did. Enjoy this one recorded live.
