How To Disable Error Reporting in Windows 7

When a program or the operating system hangs or crashes, Windows 7 sends an
error report to Microsoft by default. It will also spend time looking for a
solution. (In my experience, it never seems to find one.) If you find the
error messages and the delay in closing down a hung application annoying or
have concerns about privacy, you can turn off error reporting. Here's how you
do it:

Password Safe for Android 1.1

The Riddler Password Safe is a simple yet powerful tool for handling
passwords. All data (not only passwords) is encrypted using SHA-256 bit and
AES-128 bit algorithms. The Riddler PS is free.

A Simple, Secure Way To Send Confidential Information and it is Free Too.

"Here's a great way to send a confidential note to someone. For example, if
you've emailed someone an encrypted document and you need to inform them of
the password for the file. Head to this free website in your web browser.
Type the confidential message, then press the Send button. You'll be given a
unique URL to your message, which you can now email to the recipient. When
they click on that URL, they get to read the message you entered. So now
you're probably wondering what makes Burn Note any more secure than
traditional email. Firstly, the unique URL will only work once, after which
the note gets deleted from the system. Secondly, if the recipient leaves
their browser window open with the note visible, it'll self-destruct after 3
minutes. And re-visiting the unique URL won't bring it back."

This Free Web Service Lets You Express Yourself By Painting, Even If You Can't Paint

If you like online web-based painting programs, then this site is definitely
worth a look, as it does things which other sites don't seem to be able to
manage. If you use a PC-based paint program, you'll be familiar with the
eraser tool. Drag your mouse pointer around the picture, and the area under
the cursor is removed. Now imagine that, instead of being removed, the area
under the cursor changes to resemble the brush strokes of, say, Van Gough or
another well-known artist. That's the premise behind this site, which makes
it very easy to turn an existing digital photo into something a little
special. The site is simple to use, and free. Just point your browser to the
site to get started. There's no need to sign up.

This Useful Small, Free Program Makes Updating Your PC Software Easier

Our Tips Editor Vic Laurie says "One of the major nuisances in the life of a
PC user is the constant updating and patching that is required. Not only
Windows itself but also a host of programs are always in need of yet another
update. Anything that can make this chore less of a burden is welcome.
Fortunately, there are some free programs that help to keep a system up to
date. A number of these have been discussed at Gizmo's and I have been
trying out another and it is impressive. It is a small (353 KB), portable
application that requires no installation. There is no 64-bit version but it
ran fine on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. It works in Windows XP, Vista, and
7. It will check your Windows updates as well as 56 common third party
applications and overall, it works a treat."

Simple Online Tool Helps Verify Suspicious Emails

be from a friend of yours who's in trouble, but you suspect that it might be
a scam. Here's a handy tool to help put your mind at rest (or to confirm your
worst fears). Paste the header from the email into the form on this website

A Shameless Plug by Gizmo for one of our First Editors

Long time readers of Gizmo's Freeware will fondly remember editor "Briard"
whose long, funny articles on Linux were a delight to read as well as being
highly original and informative. You won't then be surprised to hear that
Briard , whose real name is Kim Brebach has actually written several novels
as well as running a successful technology consulting business. Kim helped
this site a lot when it first started out so I'm repaying the favor by
helping publicize his newest writing adventure. It is a blog.  Not just your
ordinary blog but one of the strangest and most engaging blogs you are likely
to read. The subject matter is mostly a mix of Technology, Photography, Food
and Wine. That sounds like an unholy combination but it works brilliantly
helped of course by the quality of Kim's writing. As it turns out, an
interest in all of these subject areas is surprisingly common. I certainly am
which is why I've become a regular reader. If that sounds like you as well
then check it out. Here's a sample of some recent posts: "A breakthrough in
internet security: 100% protection, 0% system load. But alas not totally
free" Nikon's D3200 – As good as it gets for $700? The best wines under
$25 Dead Easy Scrumptious Lamb Shanks I can assure you Kim really knows his
wines so although his selections are mainly Australian and New Zealand
wines you should, with the assistance of a little Google searching,   be
able to locate them in your region.  If you do, you are going  to be
rewarded with wines of near Grand Cru quality at ridiculously low prices.
Better still they are wines your friends and colleagues will have no idea
even existed. That will do a lot for your wine cred. Warning: As Kim's blog
covers photography there are occasional studies of nudes. It's all very
tasteful but if you find nudity offensive then stay away.
