JPEG Lossless Rotator

People usually make photos with different shot orientatons, and some photos need to be rotated. When you rotate a JPEG photo, most image editors decode the photo, rotate the bitmap and then re-encode it back to JPEG. This process slightly decreases the final image quality. Unlike those tools, the JPEG Lossless Rotator does not recode your photo and performs a special lossless block transformation instead. As a result, the rotated photo has the same quality as the original. In addition, JPEG Lossless Rotator has a very simple multilingual interface and is easy to use for inexperienced computer users. Features include:

Shell integration (this allows you to rotate your JPEG photos by a right-click on the file)
Command line - Automatic rotation - Batch rotation - EXIF-data display

OldVersion.com assists computer users who are unable to continually upgrade their computer.

Those who find that their machine is not able to run the latest version of a certain application have no choice but to use an old version of the program. Unfortunately, the vast majority of software companies do not offer this opportunity. We are doing our small part to help bridge the digital divide by allowing everyone to enjoy the same software titles regardless of their hardware.

Sometimes upgrading to a newer version can be a good thing. Other times, your computer may not be compatible with the new version, the new version is bloated, or all the options you liked are no longer available. OldVersion.com has been supplying the online community with old versions of various programs since 2001. The service is utilized by thousands of users every day and has been featured in newspapers and magazines as well as on radio and television.

Double Vision - Completely FREE software that lets you watch video and surf the web in a transparent browser.

"Go Double Vision" and you can click through the browser to your open applications and work seemlessly. Ifyou are a multi-tasker then this free utility will be right up your alley. Double Vision allows you to surf the web in a semi-transparent window while carrying on other tasks in the background. Just click through the browser window and you return to the background task.

It's not as weird as it sounds. You could for example watch a flash tutorial on a software product with that product running in the background. Or you could use it as a kind of glorified boss key: cruise the web and if the boss walks by then click to that serious looking spreadsheet in the background.

Please be aware that the SoftPerfect Personal Firewall is not designed for novices and requires some networking knowledge from you for a correct configuration.

AxCrypt is a powerful, yet extremely easy to use file encryption program for Windows

Right-click integration with Windows Explorer makes AxCrypt the easiest way to encrypt individual files in Windows.

Double-click integration makes it as easy to open, edit and save encrypted files as it is to work with unencrypted files.

Many additional features, but no configuration required, just install it and use it.

Since AxCrypt works on a file-by-file basis, you can safely and easily send encrypted files to other users via e-mail or any other means, you can even make self-decrypting files so the recipient does not need AxCrypt installed to decrypt.

AxCrypt is translated into English, Danish, Swedish, German, Dutch, Hungarian, Spanish, French, Italian and Norwegian so chances are it speaks your preferred language.

Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers simply and reliably.

One of the main reasons why you would want to collect installed drivers is if you don’t have the Driver CD that came with the computer or they are unavailable online. This comes in quite handy if you purchase a computer and want to backup the initial set of drivers. It can be quite difficulty for example to find drivers for hardware installed in a notebook if the operating system has to be setup again. Luckily Double Driver can now lend you a hand with that and save you a lot of time
