There's only a little time remaining to get the jv16 Power Tools at a
special Neat Net Tricks promotional price. You may recall last issue I
wrote about this package of 27 main tools to clean your Windows Registry,
uninstall software without pesky orphan files remaining, optimize Windows,
improve privacy, recover deleted files, automatically back up its work, and
lots more. It works with all supported Windows systems (yes, even Vista,
both 32-bit and 64-bit!) The deal I offered, which is still on the table but
not for long, lets you take 20% off the price of the latest jv16 Power Tools
2009 -- just $23.95 -- when you order through the NNT Store at
http://www.neatnettricks.com/store.
The other super deal is for those who have been using an earlier version
(2005-2008) of jv16 Power Tools. You can upgrade to the 2009 version for
just $5.50 at the NNT store at http://www.neatnettricks.com/store. When
ordering, you must show the name and email address under which the earlier
program was originally registered.
I've discussed a little more about why I like this software at
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs065/1101458487892/archive/1102565696622.html .
There's also an informative video about this powerful program at
http://www.macecraft.com , along with a 30-day full-featured free trial. But
time is running out!

05. COMODO VERIFICATION ENGINE is "free forever" at http://www.vengine.com/
. It supports all major browsers and answers whether the site you're
visiting is real or fake, foiling phishing attempts by displaying green for
go, red for stop.
06. SYSTEM TRAY CLEANER is a simple tool to remove unwanted items from your
Windows system tray (SysTray)in the lower-right corner of your screen where
Windows dumps many programs to load during Windows startup. The more
programs starting when you boot your computer, the longer the bootup time
will take. System Tray Cleaner will list all your system tray icons and
identify which programs they belong to. Then, you can choose whether you
wish to stop a certain program, remove it from startup (so it doesn't start
automatically every time you turn on your computer) or simply uninstall it.
Download free at http://www.innovative-sol.com/system-tray-cleaner/ .
07. PRIMITIVE CASE CHANGER at
http://www.primitivezone.com/primitive-case-changer.html is a small tool
that offers an easy way to change the letter case. Primitive Case Changer
and click buttons. The program monitors the clipboard and automatically
changes the text according to the specified settings. Options available
include changing the letter case, sentence case, lower case, upper case,
capitalize every word, and toggle case. The program is free and requires no
installation.
08. FILEFORT BACKUP SOFTWARE manually or automatically backs up your data to
any type media such as CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, and FTP servers. Schedule backup
times with this program, compatible with Windows XP/2000/2003/2008/Vista.
Download free at http://nchsoftware.com/backup/index.html .

Lots of folks take the time to write their appreciation for Neat Net Tricks
and, whether you're just reading this free version or going for the gusto
with NNT Premium, I thank you for the kind words. For those of you "without
the gusto", in the current Premium issue you're missing a lot: a portable
bookmark management solution; a way to print your business cards and address
labels for free; a super-charged search engine; a way to create rich and
artistic results from your digital images without any technical knowledge;
an application to test, record, and compare your CPU speed; a way to
calculate your life expectancy; an online service that scans links for
harmful threats before you visit the site; a utility for easy instant or
delayed startup or shutdown of your computer; an application to make your
images come alive with animation; and lots more, including a full-length
feature of software and services you can use -- beyond the grave.
But you haven't totally missed out on that issue. You can get it, and 23
more in the next 12 months, by subscribing for just $12 at the NNT Store,
http://www.neatnettricks.com/store . Give it a try and, if it's not to your
liking, I'll refund every cent you paid.

09. CLIPBOARDIC. Unlike the conventional Windows Clipboard, Clipboardic
keeps a running record of all copies to Clipboard so you can select the one
you want to paste; or, clear all files. No installation or additional .dll
files required. Freeware at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/clipboardic.html .
10. PRIVACY WINNER erases Internet traces, program activities, and
Internet/Windows/Search/Chat history to protect your privacy. Download free
at http://www.privacywinner.com/ .
11. VASTFM. At http://www.vastfm.com/ you enter the singer's name and it
creates a substantial playlist of just that singer, then plays each
selection in turn.
