Shutdown Lock
$14.95 - X-Ray Application Software.

Irritated with the fact that some applications just don't go well with Window's Hibernate or Suspend features? The easiest way to fix the problem is to get Shutdown Lock, a program that can hibernate-enable any application, like FlashGet, or AudioGrabber. This tiny utility (about 64 KB) makes it possible for a third party software to force PC into suspension or hibernation, rather than to shut PC down.
Major objectives are:
* To enable hibernate and stand by feature in application, like Nero Burning ROM, FlashGet, or AudioGrabber.
* To use Windows XP fast user switching feature more safety.
* To prevent unexpected system shutdowns or restarts that could cause immense and sensitive data loss.
* To operate stably and unobtrusively.
This is how Shutdown Lock works. The program is loaded upon startup and sits quietly in the system tray. You can enable or disable it with one mouse click. If enabled, the program will either hibernate or suspend PC when a program prompts system shut down. This is a very valuable feature, because it prevents accidental data loss.
Shutdown Lock is a great program for folks who have their PCs most of the time and want to make sure that their PC won't be shut down or reloaded accidentally, as it happens quite often with folks who have kids. In addition, Shutdown Lock can be used as a quick alternative way to suspend or hibernate PC without accessing Window's Start menu.
Also it can be used as tiny shutdown command line utility,
allows to create shutdown shortcut to shutdown computer automatically,
allows to identify the application that request turn off/restart system,
etc.

Shuric scan(clone and duplicate killer)
$19.95 - Shuric Com.

When creating your CD or DVD, or simply doing general cleaning of garbage on your hard
disk, it is often necessary to delete files copies, leaving on the disk only originals.
Shuric Scan was designed to solve this problem. It scans the disk searching for files
with identical contents. Shuric Scan finds ALL copies of the file regardless of their
names.

Unlike other similar programs, search results are shown as a tree, where the roots are
the groups of files with identical contents, and branches - files. This form of
displaying the search results is closest to the style of human thinking, and grants fast
and intuitive processing.

Shuric Scan uses an advanced file copy searching algorithm.

The main difficulties in searching for copies of a file are:

1) huge number of comparisons;
2) high load on the hard disk.

Shuric Scan overcomes these difficulties. The algorithm which this scanner is based on,
compares files only if they are at least similar. The software not only does not compare
"unsimilar" files, but doesn't even open them. The statistics show that the average file
is being compared not hundreds and thousands of times, as when using the "brute force"
method, but on average 1.5-2 times. Thus, the scanning algorithm reduces to an absolute
minimum file comparison operations, which significantly reduces the load on your hard
disk and considerably accelerates the process of scanning.

The more files of identical size that are on your hard disk, the more our software
outruns other similar programs. For example, when scanning through 8000 files with the
file size of 128K, the advantage of Shuric scan above other similar programs becomes
absolute.
