More Cool and Useful Tools

These are a few nice tools from Sysinternals

Autoruns
A very useful software to monitor the registry and programs that run at startups instead of playing around with the messy regedit.

Process Explorer
This tool helps to monitor programs at run time. You can use Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but with Process Explorer, it tells who created the processes. You can check your pc to see if there are any strange processes that are run by viruses and the like.



PDF Readers
Foxit Reader
This is very useful tool for reading PDF files. Acrobat loads lots of things which are really useless if all you want to do is just to open and read a PDF file.

PDF Creator
A nice tool which lets you create PDF files. It creates PDF files in a very roundabout way, though. This software creates a virtual printer. By selecting this virtual printer and printing, instead of a hardcopy, you will get a PDF file instead.
