Hinx Backup Easy doesn't have that many features as the one above but if you're looking for a simple automated backup tool it's a worthy candidate. Similar to Comodo, Backup Easy also allows you to backup files to a local drive or FTP server. There is also a scheduler to run backups on a regular basis. Backup Easy can do both full and incremental backups. In the latter case, it runs full backup only once, every backup afterwards just changes the files that were modified since last bac

This year however I got to a point where the standard folder system just wasn't working for me.I'm a university student and I've been keeping my files and folders organized pretty well, but after spending so much time constantly navigating through folder after sub-folder I finally got sick of it and I started looking for something more product

I hope this helps you get the most accurate search results as quickly as possible. Some of it's pretty basic I know, but in part two I will be going through how to search using filters, saved searches and virtual folders which will make your organisation a whole lot eas

One of the unadvertised features of 'Send To' is that you can directly change the items that show up in the list. This is done by going to a specific folder and changing its contents. That folder is found in "Documents and Settings/yourusername." Note: replace "yourusername" with whatever your user account name is on your computer. Here's what mine looks l

Don't want to use Bittorrent for some reason? Well no problem you can try "Windows Multiplayer setup|https://Windowsmastery.com/ File Sharing" just as you would do on a LAN. Just that it is a lot more simple here. When I clicked on it I was hoping to go through a messy workgroup setup and complicated network settings, but what did I see? I saw the shared printer and shared docs (in other words, it's already done and I did nothing). Yes that's how simple it is. Depending upon your situation you may be prompted for a password or do some minor configurations h

Basically you can run any 3rd party application atop of Remobo. Want to play any game with your buddy just like you would have played it on the LAN? Easy, hover your mouse over the buddy name and get the IP. This is the virtual IP or the Remobo IP. Use this for streaming media configuration or playing games over the netw

The above tools are handy for running hard drive backups to another partition, external drives or your own FTP server. However if you want to backup only a handful of files and store them on reliable third party servers then you can try a free online backup service called Mozy . It's quick to configure, fully automated and available both for Mac and Windows PCs. The only problem is that the free account gives you only 2 GB of storage space. See all Mozy features h

Comodo has different backup modes: copy, move and synchronization. So apart from simply copying/moving the files from one place to another you can set Comodo to keep source and backup copy synchronized. That is to say, whenever you make some changes to the original files the changes will be replicated on your backup c

Tools for this - Although a simple Shift + Delete (please don't just delete) will do the trick but if you want to be totally sure that no one can access it then use: UltraShredder (It's Portable too) - or maybe you know of a better program that you can recomm

Voila! This is a really useful little tool for me because I often need to play with several different types of files and find the best place to do that is on the Desktop. When I'm done using those files I either delete them or toss them into their relevant folders for safe keeping. 'Send To' now allows me to send all my screenshots in a batch into the Screenshots folder. This is also handy if you have any folders that take specific actions when items are added to t
