Filehand Search


Filehand™ Search 3.0 brings the power of internet-style searching to your personal computer. Using Filehand Search you can find information stored in your computer system with the same ease and speed that you find information on the internet using search engine sites such as Google and Yahoo.

If you have tried other programs to find files on your computer, you were probably disappointed by the performance, lack of flexibility, and complicated interfaces. Even worse, other search tools can consume all of the processor and memory resources of your computer.

Filehand Search is designed from the ground up to respect the fact that you have other uses for your computer. It uses a modest amount of memory and runs at the lowest available priority. Yet Filehand Search typically handles search requests in a fraction of a second.

If you know how to search for information on the internet through web sites such as Google or Yahoo, you already know how to use Filehand Search. If you haven't used such web sites, don't worry. Even though its powerful, Filehand Search is very easy to use.

Rainlendar - A customizable desktop calendar

Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesn't take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it both on Windows and on Linux. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.
It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar*.

Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.

All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the week's events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.

You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure you'll remember to do them on time.
You'll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you don't miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.

And that's not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.
