Prevent Restore Free
Many users don't realize that when it comes to files, deleted doesn't equal
gone. When you delete a file,
it's removed from a table or directory, but the
physical sectors that comprised the storage area for the file still contain its
data.
That's why you can recover deleted files if you haven't written anything
else to the hard drive. To make sure sensitive data
is truly erased, you need a
program like Prevent Restore. Simply put, Prevent Restore overwrites any
currently unused sectors
on a partition with spaces, random integers, or random
characters. It's a simple as that--and though you may have heard rumors
that the
government has some super sophisticated methods of recovering overwritten data,
the average Joe or corporate spy
sure won't. It's pretty much gone.

ReNamer Free
Renaming one file is easy. Renaming a dozen is tedious. Renaming a
thousand...get someone else to do it,
or get ReNamer, a wonderful
free/donationware program which allows you to set up fairly robust rules for
renaming files in a batch. ReNamer has a simple, straightforward, interface. You
set up some rules--such as
"Replace the file extension" or "Delete the last 4
characters"--and then select files to which to apply the rules.
A very
useful preview option allows you to see what you're going to get before you
execute the process,
saving unending amounts of grief and encouraging
experimentation. Once you're satisfied with the results,
ReNamer goes to work,
renaming all the input files according to your rules.

OpenOffice.org Free
Not happy with the idea of a Web-based office application? Then you want the
downloadable OpenOffice.org,
the free competitor to Microsoft Office. It's a
full suite, with a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program,
database,
and drawing program--and, for ubergeeks, a "mathematical function calculator"
(if you have to ask what it is,
you don't need it). No need to worry about
compatibility with Microsoft Office formats, because it handles all of those,
as
well as Open Source formats as well. Each of the programs in the suite offers
just about all the power you'll need.
