Syspad
One area where I thought
Windows XP could use improvement was in the way the various utilities
and monitors were laid out. It just seems to me that Microsoft could have
possibly made more of an effort to centralize all the administrative and
system tools in one easy to find location. Instead, you almost feel like
Microsoft is hiding things from you by making you search through your
system like it’s some sort of scavenger hunt. For all intents and
purposes, you are probably the administrator of this system (possibly
even a small network), and I’m sure you have better things to do
than poke around your Windows system looking for those necessary, yet
elusive, settings.
Well, apparently I’m
not the only one that feels this way. A programmer at Xtort.net has credited
a program called XP Syspad and it centrally organizes
various administrative tools into one easy to use program. With XP Syspad,
all you have to do is open up one program and you have access to literally
hundreds of system tools.
You can easily monitor
individual running processes, make Web queries, launch programs and even
get your Windows License Key. With over 250 functions, there’s little
you can’t do with XP Syspad. Here’s a list of some of the
things this program offers:

Utility
Well, is that enough
to help you manage your system? If it isn’t, I don’t know
of anything better for free that will make it any easier. The Windows
XP Syspad is really a fantastic program and if you think you could benefit
from its use, I strongly encourage you to download it and give it a try.
The program is small. It doesn’t install anything in the registry
and it uninstalls very easily, so there is nothing to fear. One more thing:
XP Syspad has also posted some download awards on their site that have
been presented to them by other prestigious tech based Web sites. And,
I think it deserved every one of them!
System Requirements:
1. W2K/XP
2. 64 MB RAM
3. 386 +
4. Mouse
5. >500 kb space
You can download XP
Syspad here.
Until next week, I
hope you enjoy.
