Clearing-up the context menu

Ever uninstalled a program and had options relating to it linger in the context menu when you right-click the mouse? If you have (like me) try using ShellMenuView by NirSoft. I've found it to be quite useful, not just for removing features from programs that I'd already deleted but for disabling features that I rarely used.

RAMRush - Freeware

If you own a Laptop computer like me, you'll probably leave it in hibernation sometimes.

However you'll usually find that when you turn it back on, it may be a little slow because of all the memory that the running applications are using.

I've just started using RAMRush which will optimize the RAM usage of your computer. The first time I used it I was able to reclaim 64 MB.

Usage is quite simple, just hover your mouse over the RAMRush tray icon & click 'Start Optimize'.
