Windows steady state

This program provided by microsoft, is a good way for keeping your computer safe and in a pristine condition.

After installing the program, you can configure computer restrictions and protect the hard disk. What this means is that windows will create a temporary file and any changes to your computer will be saved to the temporary file. Upon shutting down or restarting  your computer it will ask you if you want to keep or discard the changes. If you choose to discard the changes everything will be back to the way you had it before.

Mini PE

This boot cd is a Must. Everybody should have a copy in their toolbox. This cd will do anything from restoring the MBR, resetting the windows passwords, imaging your computer, recovering deleted data, partitioning your hard drive etc..

The link to get the program is :

Digiwiz_MiniPE_ISO_Updated

Note: this program is what I call an extended trial version. It contains cracked software.

i am not encouraging piracy, but this cd is a must have.
