The Big Useful List Of Free Useful Programs To Use Usually For Free

entropy13 · Apr 20, 2011, 07:50 AM

So here's my attempt at such a list.

I'm certain that there are others with several suggestions, which I would be waiting to get.

Disk Defrag - Disk Cleanup - Disk/File Management/Recovery/Encryption/Backup - System Information

Click this--->

Disk Defrag
MyDefrag
Defragmenting tool with numerous options, useful for different types of disks (in terms of use - "system disk" or "data disk" and physically - a USB thumb drive or a usual internal hard drive). Not exactly for the Average Joe however.

Defraggler
A simpler defragmenting tool that also allows defragmentation of individual files. Piriform has other useful programs besides this (which would be making an appearance later on).

Auslogics Disk Defrag
Another alternate choice for disk defragmenting needs.

Disk Cleanup
CCleaner
Another program from Piriform, arguably the primary disk cleanup program of many.

Disk/File Management/Recovery/Encryption/Backup
Recuva
A file recovery program from Piriform.

Double Killer
Is a "fast and easy to use application for finding and removing duplicate files."

Advanced Renamer
Rename multiple files quickly with this program.

True Crypt
A free open-source disk encryption software.

Teracopy
Copying files made faster and easier through this application.

Space Sniffer
Know which file occupies how much space where with this program.

TreeSize Free
Scan directory sizes and spot space hogs quickly with this application.

Cobian Backup
Free software for your "backupping" needs.

Bacula
And here's another.

System Information
CPU-Z
Usually comes first to mind when thinking about such programs.

HWMonitor
From the creators of CPU-Z, focusing more on temperatures, voltages and fan speeds.

GPU-Z
Foremost choice for information on your GPU(s).

Real Temp
A "temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Core i7 processors."

Core Temp
A CPU temperature monitoring program alternative.

Speccy
A system information program from Piriform.

Blue Screen View
View BSOD information in your system's dump files.

SpeedFan
Versatile program which also allows fan control.

HWINFO32
"It is a professional hardware information and diagnostic tool supporting latest components, industry technologies and standards. Designed to collect and present the maximum amount of information possible about computer's hardware which makes it suitable for users searching for driver updates, computer manufacturers, system integrators and technical experts as well. Retrieved information is presented in a logical and easily understandable form and can be exported into various types of reports."

System Explorer
A free program for exploration and management of System Internals.

CrystalDiskInfo
A HDD/SSD utility software which supports S.M.A.R.T. and a part of USB-HDD.

nice list, I picked up a 3 allready

Kreij · Apr 20, 2011, 03:51 PM

@Entropy : If you remove the CR/NLs after the links and uses something like " - ", you can tighten up the original post so it's not so long.

for instance
Great Web Sites
TPU - TechPowerUp! Website.

Unparsed it looks like ...
[url="http://www.techpowerup.com"]TPU[/url] - TechPowerUp! Website.

You don't have to do that, it's just a suggestion.

Sumatra PDF

Quote:

is a slim, free, open-source PDF viewer for Windows. Sumatra has a minimalistic design. Simplicity has a higher priority than a lot of features. It's small and starts up very fast. Options are a little thin on the ground but SumatraPDF provides a very comfortable environment for reading PDFs and you can print documents without much hassle.
