高手推荐 Windows使用必备的20个工具For a long time, American Expresss slogan is dont go out without an express card. In the same way, there are programs - except for large applications such as Word, OutLook, or Firefox - that are essential to our lives. They are very practical, elegant and very ingenious.So what is a necessary tool? My basic rule is: within a week, anything you installed on a new computer that you did not uninstall. You can leave these programs for work, but without them, you will feel very uncomfortable.To illustrate, Ive compiled 20 different categories of Must-Have Tools, plus some nice apps. I have no limit to saying that these products are free or need to pay; I just choose among the best in each category. I cannot escape those almost all people have used tools, although I had indeed violated this rule in some cases - for example, making PDF and virtualization, this is only because of these things more and more by the majority of users, and have a little as many.On licensing issues need to pay attention to is this: Although a lot of said programs are called free, but this does not mean that they are open source software, the code is not to let anyone modify. Those described as available under open source licenses are such software; otherwise, free only means being able to use them without paying.Finally, most of the applications described here can be used in three mainstream versions of 32 bit Windows: indows 2000, XP, and Vista. Note that most of the programs can still run as they are used in Vista, even though some might require administrators to run properly.file managementFile management / compressionThe integration of.Zip files in Windows Explorer is no problem, but most people want more functionality. For a long time now, my favorite third party archive compression tool has always been Rarlabs shareware WinRAR.Download address: WinRARIts unique.Rar file format is better than plain.Zip, and includes compression algorithms for audio and images. Its trial is free, and a single users license costs you $29.A new completely free and open source competitor is Igor Pavlov 7-Zip, which includes a variety of optional compression algorithm, AES-256 encryption, compatible with multi thread performance of multi-core system and.Rar document. If you want to quit using WinRAR, you dont have to re compress your old files. And its interface is very similar to WinRAR, and you can easily get used to it.CD/DVD firingFor a long time, I was an advocate of Nero Ultra Edition, and it was still a leader in the commercial suite of CD and DVD burning. Its $79 package contains a lot of audio and video disc processing capabilities,It includes support for the Blu-ray blue disc (not only firing data, but also creating BD-AV discs that can be played). But the size of the Nero file, and in fact, even in the most basic version, I also have many functions can not be used, which makes me have to turn my attention to other options.Download address: CD burn, ImgBurn, V2.3.0.0, Chinese versionFinally, I selected ImgBurn from Lightning UK, which is a free application and contains the appropriate functionality. In addition to being able to perform simple basic tasks, such as firing and compressing compact disc images, it also includes some fairly advanced features. When you are in the firing of double DVD, you can specify where to set the fracture layer; it can also drive the support of HD-DVD and Blu-ray; you can also set the like according to your use of the drive to accelerate the burning of such a function.One of the main drawbacks of ImgBurn is that it cannot fire audio CD. I havent fired CD for a long time, but if you want to fire audio CD, you can try Ashampoos Burning Studio, which has a 30 day trial period and is priced at $40. In addition to making video and audio CD, it can also be extracted from the audio CD for a variety of formats, and have excellent backup and storage function, but also allows you to easily modify the existing bootable cd.Download ManagementThe download management tool is one of the more freely chosen tools, but the more you download, the more you need to help clear up everything. FlashGet is one of the most popular tools and there are very good reasons, is that it is free, it supports a large number of protocols, including BitTorrent, and also includes many other functions, for example to specify the address to control your computer remotely by sending an e-mail to download.Download address: Internet Express (FlashGet) simplified Chinese version of V1.9.01012What I need to point out is that some web administrators are very reluctant to use the download management tools - especially when they do multithreaded, multi node acceleration - and may prohibit you from using them. And if you use tools such as FlashGet reasonably, it probably wont cause too much anger for administrators.encryptionSome t
