  • Suggested by Ennovy

Minime is a tool that allows you to minimize applications to the system tray using a customizable hotkey (by default CTRL+ALT+Z). What makes this tool somewhat unique is that it keeps your system tray clean by minimizing all applications into a single tray icon. Minime-ized applications do not appear in the Alt+Tab menu.

Functional in 64-bit. Written using AutoIt.

If the icon disappears (this *occasionally* happens when Explorer acts up in Win7x64) don't run Task Manager and End Task. Your hidden windows will not return. The trick is to RE-RUN Minime and, when prompted, click "OK".

Great idea! I could use that occasionally although the time to launch the app and drag files will most probably take longer than manually renaming the files.
Still, thanks for the author.

I could actually use this sometimes. Interesting idea for a program.

As I use the rotate monitor multiple times a day, it would be great to control monitor rotation too.

fpelletier on 2012-07-18 15:37

Without playing with it, it seems to me that if I take the time to do the math, that the Left-Top and Right-Bottom field values will control rotation, however, it is currently a bit cumbersome. If there were a toolbar button for clockwise and another for counter-clockwise, that would be great. Oh, BTW, great tool!

I wish this app supported threaded in-chat conversations.

Right now, it's a very basic, barebones log.

PC Usage Viewer shows the times your computer has been active with no previous setup required. The software doesn't need to run in the background, because Windows tracks login and logoff times (working hours) by default, and the program analyses it.

Categories classification:

Currently, WindowsFileAnalyser can be looked up under 2 categories
- Files -> Miscellaneous (25)
- Security -> Privacy Tools (42)

Would it be appropriate to expand the list with the newly created "Security -> "Forensic Tools" subcategory ?

Now at version 2.9.0 (The download link at the site is still labeled "MiTeC Windows File Analyzer 2.8.0", but the executable within the zip file shows as 2.9.0)

Although it has a somewhat confusing interface, once learned, it's been the most reliable and easy-to-setup program I've used of this type. Perfect for copying/updating files to multiple directories that are all over the place.
