sTray is a tiny, tray-based utility with quick access to shutdown, restart, switch user, log off, lock, sleep, hibernate functions etc. This is especially useful for remote desktop users as these commands are missing from Microsoft's Remote Desktop (RDP) tool.

AppCrashView displays the details of all application crashes occurred on your system. The crash information is extracted from the .wer files created by the Windows Error Reporting component of Windows.

Postpone Restart addresses common Windows annoyance: after installing official Microsoft updates, Windows will constantly prompt you to restart. Worse, in Vista and above, the updates are on a timer and, if you happen to be away when the timer runs out, the computer will automatically restart. Postpone Restart will automatically press the "Postpone" button for you, letting you avoid this headache.

To disable the postponing, simply exit the application.

AllThreadsView displays a list of all running threads from all processes on your system in one table. For every thread, the following information is displayed: Thread ID, Creation Time, Kernel Time, User Time, Duration, Start Address, Priority, Base Priority, Context Switch Count, Context Switch Change (Since the last refresh), Wait Reason, Process ID, Process Path.

KeyboardStateView displays the current state and virtual key code of every key you press. It also allows you to view the current state of all keyboard keys.

For every key, you can view Key Name (VK_XXXX), Description, Key Code (Decimal), Key Code (Hexadecimal), Key Pressed Status, Key Toggled Status (Useful for Num Lock, Caps Lock) and last time that the key was pressed.

RecentFilesView gives access to the information stored each time that you open a file from Windows Explorer or from a standard open/save dialog-box. When the name of the file that you opened is recorded by the operating system, some of the names are saved into the 'Recent' folder, while others are saved into the Registry. This utility displays the list of all recently opened files, and allows you to delete unwanted filename entries for privacy or brevity.

DLL Export Viewer displays the list of all exported functions and their virtual memory addresses for specified DLL files. You can easily copy the memory address of the desired function, paste it into your debugger, and set a breakpoint for this memory address. When this function is called, the debugger will stop in the beginning of this function.

For example: If you want to break each time that a message box is going to be displayed, simply put breakpoints on the memory addresses of message-box functions: MessageBoxA, MessageBoxExA, and MessageBoxIndirectA (or MessageBoxW, MessageBoxExW, and MessageBoxIndirectW in unicode based applications) When one of the message-box functions is called, your debugger should break in the entry point of that function, and then you can look at call stack and go backward into the code that initiated this API call.
