Add a “Command Prompt Here” option to your right-click/context menu in Windows Explorer and on the Desktop, which of course opens cmd.exe and changes path to the current directory in Windows Explorer. The option did already exist if you held the SHIFT key down when right-clicking the background of Windows Explorer, but this was replaced by PowerShell in Windows 10; and besides, you had to hold down SHIFT (with this .reg addition, you do not.) ...

dErase is a tiny app designed for one purpose only, to delete files and/or directories with optional secure deletion routines. It can also fill a drive’s free space with garbage data in order to force-overwrite any “deleted” (yet still there) data on the disk. dErase can also be scripted. What makes the dErase files different from standard delete utilities, is that it will ignore file system ownership/permissions entirely while deleting, getting around access denied and...

The above examples make it incredibly useful after major Windows 10 updates which reset file associations back to defaults; with Program Switcher you can...

BootSafe – The “easiest” way to Boot Windows into Safe Mode Thanks to Andrew for reviewing our BootSafe utility on Experts Exchange, and for the quick interview with me that he posted with the article! That combined with another user email, who recently wrote in regarding using BootSafe with older remote clients and in conjunction with accessibility features, makes me glad we can provide quality utilities that genuinely help others.

This version is exactly what you can expect to find as part of the d7x tech tool, however a few of the more powerful features available when examining target files (e.g. Delete Permanently, Prevent Program from Running, etc.) have been disabled since this is a product which may be used by non-technical home users. This release replaces the KillEmAll BETA version from 2016, and is available for...
