EarthView is a fairly cool dynamic desktop background/wallpaper + screensaver program that only takes earth as its theme, developed by DeskSoft from Austria. It gives us a direct bird’s-eye view of the earth from outer space on desktop, and shows the shift of day and night (i.e. the daylight zone and dark area at night) and the atmospheric cloud changes in a dynamic way, which can give users a stunning visual experience.

[v2025.307] Secret Disk – Creates hidden disk with password protection

To protect the security of files/data, I have always found it preferable to hide and/or set an access password for a partition rather than to encrypt the partition or an entire hard disk. The reasons are: 1) The performance and efficiency of reading/writing encrypted files are extremely low; 2) As far as I know, although an encrypted file is hard to crack, it is the most likely to happen and the most deadly for users to forget their encryption key – there is no solution at all; 3) In fact, even if you just hide one partition without password protection, few people would expect you to protect your private data in this way.

[v16.18] DriverMax – Keep your drivers up to date

At least in some cases, using an automation solution for driver installation and update can get twofold result with half effort. For example: install or update the hardware drivers for old computers or lower versions of Windows (the low efficiency and numerous difficulties of finishing this work manually are almost unbearable); you have to reinstall all hardware drivers after the reinstallation of Windows (the Windows built-in drivers are not always the most suitable ones); package all drivers into one complete backup after the full setup of them all.

[v4.4.3] SoftPerfect RAM Disk – Create super fast RAM disk for any temporary data

Computer users who have a little extra money or are willing to cost input on hardware probably have installed and are running their operating systems on a solid-state drive (SSD), in order to gain a better PC performance and user experience. However, SSD has a fatal drawback – it can not write frequently, otherwise the disk life can be significantly shortened. As a result, virtualizing the physical memory as RAM disk became popular. Without exaggeration, RAM disk can be twice as fast as the top-of-the-line SSD and 10 times of the fastest HDD at least!
