Disk Drive Security
$39 - Getfreefile

Hide and lock your local, network, Floppy and USB drives as well as disable the AutoRun feature for specific drive types with this password-protected security utility. Fabulously designed, Disk Drive Security offers you both a great functionality and simplicity in a very elegant manner. The main window of the program groups the main settings by drives, and shows you all possible drive letters. If you do not want the removable media to appear and be accessible in My Computer after it is inserted, just hide and lock all the drive letters you do not normally use. Disk Drive Security can also be used to protect your local drives. For example, by hiding your system drive you can prevent your users from vandalizing your system files and saving garbage to it. The AutoRun feature can be disabled for specific drives or drive types. If you disable the AutoRun feature for drive types, you can, for example, disable the AutoRun feature for all USB drives, for all CD/DVD drives, for all RAM disks or for all removable HDD drives. A password protection can be applied to the program to prevent your users form changing the security settings you enforce.

TOff
$0 - www.dennisbabkin.com

This utility will be handy for people who would like to leave their computer unattended for some time before automatically turning it off (or sending it into hibernation or stand-by mode). TOff can perform these tasks at a certain day and time (one time or every day), as well as after a certain period of inactivity with the seconds discrepancy. I use it every time when I leave my computer at the office to download some stuff from the Internet and then to turn it off at night so that it looks like nothing happened in the morning.

Special features:
(1) Can shutdown or reboot almost every Windows operating system that has Advanced Power Management (APM) enabled (Check Control Panel -> Power Options);
(2) Any system that supports hibernation can be hibernated on timer (i.e., switching off your computer without closing running programs);
(3) Any system that supports stand-by mode can be sent into it on timer;
(4) Provides the log for the last operation (so that you can check if power operation occurred on time);
(5) Can be set to run every day, or every time current user logs on;
(6) Can perform all of the above operations after a certain period of PC, CPU, or network inactivity;
(7) Can run in various safe modes to prevent erroneous power operation execution;
(8) Can be run from command line to perform exact same operations as in GUI mode.
