	Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks.  License: Freeware
	The Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks is a stand-alone utility that detects and reports fragmentation-related performance loss on networked systems. The Performance Analyzer provided never before available single-point analysis of systems requiring defragmentation attention to achieve optimal performance. With Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks you can zero in on the machines that need attention and handle them before they turn into a helpdesk problem. After installing and launching the utility, you are presented with a list of computers on your domain(s) available for analysis. Once you have selected target computers, a small agent is temporarily copied to these computers to begin an analysis. The agent quickly and unobtrusively gathers disk fragmentation information from the remote computers and reports this data to the Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks main console. The agent then completely removes itself from remote client systems. After collecting all the analysis data, Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks will create and present a comprehensive report showing the fragmentation related performance degradation on selected remote computers.

The contents of all deleted files remain on the disk and can be easily restored using any recovery utility.  After you delete the data, Windows deletes the data but not completely. After deleting the file, its name is only erased from the database whereas all the contents remain there. This way data don't get deleted completely. Here is the solution for your concern.  Don't let your PC be unfaithful to you. Use PC Shredder to keep your PC secure and faithful.  PC Shredder allows you easily wipe free space to ensure that previously 'deleted' files cannot be recovered.  PC Shredder uses 5 built-in delete files algorithms for overwriting files content to leave no chances to recover them.  PC Shredder can save hard disk space and improve your computer's performance Author: PCShredder.com| Date: 10-09-2008 | Size: 283 KB

	Abaiko Disk Space Monitor  License: Freeware
	Abaiko Disk Space Monitor is a program monitoring free space on the disks of your computer. Modern computers have a lot of space on their disks. And people stopped watching the space thinking that disks of that size just cannot be too small. Most likely, some software developers stick to that opinion as well and some software occupies quite a lot of space on disks or do not save it. In addition, software capabilities increase together with the development of computers. A lot of people can now work with large amounts of data, for example, editing home video, processing high-resolution photos or complex graphics, recording music. All this is impossible unless you have free space on your disk, which invisibly becomes less and less. And unexpected lack of space on your disk, especially on the system one, may result in your work being lost or even in operating system failures. The simple, but still useful tool Abaiko Disk Space Monitor will keep you informed about the amount of free space on your disks. The news that there is not enough space on the disk will not take you by surprise in the worst time any more and you will no longer have to worry about it. Features: - Easy to use and configure - Running at Windows startup - Monitoring disks of any types - Access to the application via the tray icon - Warnings as balloon messages The tool can monitor disks of any types your computer supports. As soon as free space on the disks you select reaches the limits you specify, the program will let you know about it. Abaiko Disk Space Monitor is intended for both regular home users and system administrators that need space for quickly growing logs of various systems, enlarging databases, data backups, or for software caching data.

The program recovers the maximum amount of information in the damaged file. This reduces the risk of data loss considerably.
