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.) ...
Uncle Carey’s Windows 10 NetFix was conceived by Carey Holzman and developed by d7xTech.com to make life easier when setting up or troubleshooting file sharing and communication between network devices on Windows 10/8.x. We at d7xTech thought it would be a good idea to expand upon it and include some networking repair functionality found in our d7x Technician’s tool, but this is entirely optional. This tool is perfect for: Anyone who wants to easily apply these tweaks and fixes to...
Lockdown is a preventative measure for use against malware/ransomware attacks, which works by leveraging Windows Software Restriction Policies to prevent programs from running unexpectedly and from blocked locations. Lockdown is designed in the opposite way that CryptoPrevent works with SRP, in that Lockdown by default blacklists the entire file system, and whitelisting must be applied to allow programs to run (even built-in Windows programs!) Locksmith also goes a step further and restricts not only executables,...
Uncle Carey’s Windows 10 Optimizer was conceived by Carey Holzman and developed by d7xTech.com to make life easier when optimizing Windows 10. Carey originally contacted us to create a tool customized to his own specifications, for his own use in PC builds and repair work, and he thought it would be a great tool for his subscribers who expressed an interest in it as well. This tool is perfect for: Anyone who wants to easily apply these optimizations to their own...
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...
Switch one program with another! For example, anytime you perform any action that would normally start Microsoft Paint, you can switch this program with Paint.NET, so that it starts instead! Another working example is switching Microsoft’s Notepad with Notepad++ if you prefer that app to the standard Notepad included in Windows. The above examples make it incredibly useful after major Windows 10 updates which reset file associations back to defaults; with Program Switcher you can...

KillEmAll (Full Version) v19.2.3 released yesterday, Feb 3rd, 2019. 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...
KillEmAll is a ‘panic’ button with an ‘ask questions later’ attitude, designed to neutralize, terminate, and later identify all non-essential running programs. Great for quickly closing unwanted apps, system inspection, and even malware removal! KillEmAll Mini is a no frills implementation of the fully featured KillEmAll which has no user interface, no update capabilities, no definitions file capabilities, it doesn’t show you what apps it terminated, etc.. Simply run the .exe and it terminates unnecessary programs...
The DOWNLOADS user folder has been added to cleanmgr.exe in the latest Windows 10 October 2018 feature update (1809 version). What does this mean in general? When running Disk Cleanup on the latest version of Windows 10 a new item has been added named “Downloads” seen below: With this option checked it will delete all the files in the Download folder under the users folder. We have not confirmed if it is all users on...
