Better Memory Meter is a system tray utility that reports
what percentage of free memory your computer has remaining
at a glance.
Memory Meter at www.memorymeter.com installs spyware (TVMD.EXE) in your Windows
directory every time you run it, close it, or uninstall it.
In response, Zinious has created this clean alternative that does everything Memory
Meter does. Features:
*Easy-to-read system tray display.
*Great for knowing at a glance what your general free physical memory percentage is
*Lightweight design -- no clunky interface.
*Low memory consumption: does not use excessive resources while displaying different
icons like Memory Meter does.
*No spyware/adware/virii at all. The original Memory Meter installs hidden files that are
difficult to remove and that are identified by anti-adware/spyware programs as a
privacy attack!

the Shortcut menu. Give your new folder a name and click Ok. You will
see your new folder listed under Local Folders.

Renaming a batch of pictures
This is great if you import digital photos. Open the folder where
you have saved your pictures. Select your first batch of pictures to
rename. Right click the first picture selected and click Rename on
the shortcut menu. Rename the first picture, eg London holiday 1,
then click any empty space to deselect the pictures. Your pictures
will automatically rename themselves London holiday 1 London
holiday 2 etc. This tip also works with renaming a collection of
files.
Tracing your steps
Isn’t it the most frustrating thing that just as you find a site
you want, your electricity cuts out and down you go. And then when
you get back up you can’t find the URL because you forgot to write it
down.
No problem. Internet explorer automatically saves where you have
been on the web. To check it out, click the History button to open the
History pane, and you can search for sites you have visited, at all times
in the past.
