	ProfileLink  License: Freeware
	ProfileLink is an application designed to help laptop users easily use their computer at different locations. When using a laptop computer at different locations, e.g. office, home and travelling may require the user to make different kinds of selections when launching applications. When the user logs on to the computer ProfileLink will start automatically and launch the applications that the user has assigned to the current hardware profile. ProfileLink will also set up the users default printer depending on hardware profile. If the user changes the default printer ProfileLink will register this and use this setting the next time the user logs on using the same hardware profile. As an example we can take a look at how to use a mail client. E.g. when using the computer in the office the user will normally use the company’s mail server, but when using the computer at home or while travelling the user might use the mail server of some ISP. Prior to ProfileLink there ware several ways to accomplish this, but none of them ware fully automatic. One way to do it could be to let the user select the profile when the mail client was launched, another could be to create a number of batch files that the user could invoke depending on his or her current location. The last method we will mention here is one that seems to be widely used and it relies on creating multiple user-accounts for the same user and letting the user select the account matching the location, e.g. Lisa would have three accounts, Lisa (Office), Lisa (Home) and Lisa (Travelling). The problem with this solution is that if Lisa installs a new program in the office account it will not be available in the two other accounts. With ProfileLink it is possible to configure which parameters a specific application should be launched with depending on the current location. Instead of using different user-accounts for the same user ProfileLink relies on multiple hardware profiles. Author: Heptagon Software Solutions| Date: 12-07-2003 | Size: 824 KB

	4UOnly  License: Freeware
	What good is a password list manager that secures your secret passwords using a master password and then forces you to enter it each time you want to access your password list? 4UOnly is a password manager for Microsoft Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP with a unique feature that saves you time while promoting good security: No longer are you required to enter your master decryption password each time you need to access your password list. A built-in password generator is included to further enhance your security. Convenient automatic launching of login web pages is also provided to reduce you login time. In this era of heightened concern for security, we recommend that you use a unique password for each of your various accounts. It is also important that you frequently change your passwords in order to limit exposure should one be discovered. To track these numerous and ever changing account and passwords, password list management programs are often used. The main drawback of most of these programs is that they use a master encryption password to protect your list of accounts and passwords from disclosure. It then becomes very tedious to specify this password each time you wish to access your password list so there is often a tendency to choose weak password since they are easily entered. Furthermore, constant and repeated use of the master password increases the risk of discovery. 4Uonly overcomes this problem by capitalizing on the knowledge that your identity was authenticated when you logged in to windows. It uses your own unique Windows security fingerprint to encrypt and decrypt your password crypt file. Your password list can only be viewed without providing a master password when you are logged in to the Windows account that was in use when the list was last saved.
