Toolbox
This page is a repository of the online and software tools that I use. It is by no means exhaustive or representative of the best offering in its given category. These are the tools I have foundto get the job done in the way I need it done.
Hardware
- Zalman/IODD Virtual Optical Disc Drives - IODD makes them, but Zalman has the American distribution. You can read my write up on mine HERE
Software
-
- NirSoft - This guy pretty much creates all the tools that should be built into Windows and Sysinternals has not addressed. I have use more than the list below, but theses are the ones I use most frequently.
- Rufus Disk Utility - No nonsense USB drive formatting tool
- WinDirStat - Probably the oldest tool in my shed and has come back into use trying to keep SSDs svelte.
- Sysinternals - All the things that should be built into Windows, so Microsoft bought them.
- YUMI Multiboot - I don't use it too much anymore, but have found it to be the best bet on stubborn machines where I need multiple tools still.
- KeePass Password Safe - Open-source self-managed password vault. Can sync via FTP or just run from Dropbox.
- Turnkey Linux - They have a plethora of turn-key solutions. Makes it so easy to just fire up a VM and see if it is gonna work for you.
- Snip - Really nice screen-snipping software from Microsoft Garage. I really want them to replace Snipping Tool with this. Would make snipping stuff on whatever Win10 machine I find myself at completely painless.
- SyncToy - File sync/backup tool made by Microsoft.
