Useful Freewares...

^ Be a little Geek, and do this to record the fienames according to the folder structure:

In command line of Windows type this command:

C:\Users\Administrator>cd desktop

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>tree /A > FolderStructure.txt

The command "tree /A Filename.txt" will create a text file with the complete structure of all the subfolders of whom you want to take a snapshot of. You can even use the switch /F to record filenames inside the folder. The input redirection operator ">" means don't display the output on screen, but redirect the output in a Text file.

Yo don't need freewares all the time!

Also, you can use Cathy, a file indexing tool to record complete structure of folders and filenames of a disk, pen drive or external HDD, which I use to catalog movies.

I was performing a clean up on my HDD and those duplicate files are really giving me a lot of trouble. At first I thought I'd manually fix them, one by one, but there are far too many of them now.

I know there was some tool that does the job for you, but is there any other recommendation ?

Specifically, I'm looking for tool that identifies duplicate files in a given location

wow! thanks a lot, geek saab! *www.digit.in/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

the cmd-line method worked very well. though the result looked an eye-sore of sorts (am used to manually cataloging my softwares with all tables and format-options in excel; reason to do so is to keep a track of the apps am installing/using, and to back this info up in the event of a system reformat, so that after the process, i can check the list and re-create the categories and re-install those softwares, without having to waste time on remembering what all softwares i need to install again), but it worked well without a doubt!

but am highly pleased with Cathy! since the past few days, i was searching for a free media-cataloging software with a pleasing UI (all-in-one kind, like for multimedia, apps, ebooks, any custom category), but couldn't get one (some open-source ones i found intricate, and lacking in a good GUI). but Cathy, this no-frills-attached small cataloger-of-catalogers, this indeed seems tremendously useful! though i may still be searching for a good GUI-based cataloger anyway, but still, Cathy will now remain my cataloger of choice to fall back upon! moreover, will keep updating the catalog regularly, so that the it keeps reflecting up-to-date info (if any software is removed/added). same would go for my other media like audio-files (to keep a track of the ones being used on my music-server), ebooks, videos/movies, etc., etc.

since past few days, i was in search for a utility that could allow me to use whatsapp (specifically) on my phone and my pc simultaneously. i had used line, viber, etc. apps as well as their windows 8.1 counterparts earlier, but needed something for whatsapp. after a while, y'day, came upon a solution, and that was, using a remote-control app! tested a few of them, and below are the ones that i found very good for the purpose:

1. remoteroid - a free VNC type app. the snappiest of all i used! the resolution of the phone-replica on the pc is low than the others, but it isn't any handicap in any way whatsoever!
2. teamviewer quicksupport - with teamviewer installed on pc and quicksupport app on the phone, its just like remoteroid, albeit, slightly, very slightly laggy (but the resolution is crisp!).
3. any free VNC server app on the cell, and any free VNC viewer software on the PC - my preference(s) --> tightVNC/tigerVNC. laggier than the two above, but nothing bothersome. apt for my need!
4. webkey - if one wants to have more options in remote-controlling the phone, this is THE thing! operates from a web UI, and gives you a lot of options to tinker with (more than some other such apps like airdroid, reach, etc.).

Thanks for your finding. Webkey looks good to me.

BTW, do try airdroid if you have not already.

don't mention!
i had used airdroid, but realised that whatsapp couldn't be used on it (or for that matter, nothing much in the matter of apps, except calls, messaging, back-ups).

Voice has been raised since 2011 for whatsapp support in Airdroid, still going
whatsapp suport - AirDroid

 

[GhorMaanas]

yes; even i was/am tired of the touchscreen kb, one reason why i wanted a pc option. may be they might have some legal complications in introducing whatsapp support, otherwise they couldn't have foregone such a loud & old support-request from its users. as it is, whatsapp doesn't allow the app being used simultaneously from 2 no.s/devices (and no storage of users's messages/contacts on its servers too), so seems some legal/technical issue only. i liked the airdroid UI. would myself like to see whatsapp and other apps-support being introduced in it.

Is TeraCopy better than Windows 7 default copy ?
I'm just a average user.

 

[topgear]

Teracopy has it's own advantage and some nice added features for which it's better than windows default copy / paste feature. Specially if you need to move large amount of files between pcs then Teracopy is the best. Also it will not show you false read / write speed whenever you copy some files to a usb PD unlike windows default copy / paste app.

Staying with Windows Copy then.

 

[thetechfreak]

I really like the queuing feature of Tera Copy. Thing is I get same transfer speeds from both. Hence I use just the default windows copy application.

I prefer stock windows copy over teracopy because when there are too many small files then teracopy gets really slow.....

this comment from [MENTION=142062]Flash[/MENTION]'s link is the one which should hold you from using teracopy

Guys do we have any softwares for the following tasks.
1. Auto Shutdown the Windows 7 Desktop at specific time
2. An Active Wallpaper which can have a countdown showing like say countdown for the end of the year.

Guys do we have any softwares for the following tasks.
1. Auto Shutdown the Windows 7 Desktop at specific time

I use this always instead of some auto tool
1) Press Windows + R
2) Type shutdown /s /t 60

where 60 is the timer in seconds

before this I had used a auto tool but due to some bug in it I moved on to using above command
