Automatic Shutdown - Windows Shutdown is a program that allows you to set a time for an unattended operation and have that action performed at that time. You can use it to shutdown and log off any computers in your school at the end of the day.

Text Messaging – Sign up with a free text account from www.o2.co.uk and use this program with its built in address book to text your students for free with their homework!

File Recovery – How many times have you or your pupils deleted work and then deleted it from the Recycle Bin? Well this program will restore files which have been deleted from the Recycle Bin or deleted while holding down the Shift key by mistake. You can also run it from a floppy disk.

Stickies - This is a PC utility which is a computerised version of Post-It notes. Very useful on your desktop for reminders of things to do.

Computer Monitor – Computer Monitor is an easy to use remote administration tool which allows you to connect, view and take control of any computers running on your network. Features include remote installation (no need to leave your desk to install on work stations) and carousal views of computer screens.

Password Creator - Password Creator is designed to generate very secure "unguessable" passwords. People will often times use their names, birth days age, or other obvious information as passwords. Needless to say this is very unsafe. With Password Creator you can create much more secure passwords that will be nearly impossible to guess or "CRACK". Network administrators have also found this program very useful when having to administer passwords to network users. Password Creator is THE BEST program of its kind available today. It is very flexible and easy to use. In today’s secure electronic society no one can afford to be without a utility like Password Creator.

Web site grabber - If you have tried surfing the Internet with a large class in the ICT room you will probably have found it grinding to a halt at some point. The problem can be solved by saving the web page for offline browsing onto your network and letting the pupils access that. But what happens if you want to use more than the first page of a web site? Well we have some software for you to use yourself or to give to your colleagues in other subjects that grabs a whole web site and its links for you or for them. You can even specify that you do not want adverts to be included.

Search and Replace - A search and replace facility that will automatically search for and replace text in an entire directory or tree of text files. Easy to use and very helpful.

Splice Files – Copy files over multiple floppy discs to transfer from one computer to another.

Key board Short Cut Creator - Open your favourite applications, folders, and Web pages instantly with Windows key shortcuts that you create. You can use up to 200 different key combinations in addition to the ten built-in links. This update includes new shortcut commands to manage the state of an active window, a new "Browse for Folder" button in the shortcut properties, and more.

Web Spell Checker – This software spell-checks text input boxes on a Web page. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of Web-based text entry (e.g., Web mail, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your Web application already includes spell-checking functionality, this utility is faster than a server-side solution. Plus, you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.

Paper Maker - This software application is designed to print numerous kinds of graph papers, music manuscripts and pattern papers, with user-defined sizes and colours. The options are available through dropdown pick-lists. An uninstaller is provided in the package.
