Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Some apps are essential, and you use them every day. Everyone knows their names: Firefox, VLC, 7-Zip, and so on. However, there’s another class of app that gets less attention: the apps that are insanely useful to have in your back pocket on the rare occasions you need them. Here are 10 of our favorites.

10. Speccy

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Maybe you’ve forgotten what kind of RAM you bought, or want a quick glance at your CPU’s temperature. Speccy scans your machine and gives you a complete rundown of everything, from model numbers to temperatures, fan speeds, S.M.A.R.T. status, and...well, pretty much anything else you can think of. It’s also available in portable form, so you don’t have to install anything—just stick it in a folder for when you really need it. For an alternative, check out HWiNFO.

9. Ultimate Windows Tweaker

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
When you first install Windows, you probably get everything set up just the way you like it, including all your favorite little Registry hacks and unsupported tweaks. You might even discover new ones later and try them out. Apps likeUltimate Windows Tweaker make this a lot easier, and they’re useful to keep around later if you start incorporating new things into your workflow. Its list of features is endless, allowing you to tweak the tiniest features in the taskbar, Windows Explorer, the lock screen, and anything else you could imagine. Download it once and keep it forever (and as always, back up before you start tweaking your system).

8. Stress Testing Utilities

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Overclockers are probably very familiar with stress testing utilities likePrime95LinX, and AIDA64. If you’ve overclocked your CPU, you should definitely keep these around, but they can be useful for non-overclockers too. When your processor is having issues, it can be difficult to diagnose. If some of your apps are crashing, a stress test like Prime95 can help you figure out whether your CPU is the problem (or whether it’s something else). Many folks also recommend giving a new computer a stress test to make sure there aren’t any problems. Most of these are also portable, so you can throw them in a folder and start them up when you need them.

7. MalwareBytes, VirusTotal, and AdwCleaner

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
We put these in the same category since they all protect you from unwanted programs, but they’re each useful in their own right. You probably have a good antivirus program running all the time, but no antivirus program catches everything—so it’s useful to have a secondary program to check once in awhile.MalwareBytes is great because it only works on-demand, which means it won’t conflict with your always-running antivirus tool. The VirusTotal Uploader, on the other hand, lets you scan any individual file with over 50 antivirus tools at once, so it’s great if you’ve downloaded something you think might be fishy. Lastly, if you’ve accidentally installed an annoying toolbar on your system that just won’t go away, AdwCleaner will help you get rid of it.

6. Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Ever had to reinstall a program, but couldn’t find your product key? Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder will search your PC for installed programs, and—if they have a product key—show them to you, so you can write it down and use it the next time you reinstall. Note: this one contains some toolbars and such upon installation, so be sure to use the custom installation to avoid the crapware.

5. Process Explorer

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
The Windows Task Manager can show you a lot of information about what programs are running, and usually it does what you need it to. But on the rare occasions you need more information—like if you’re trying to figure out which program is using your webcam, for example—you need Process Explorer. Process Explorer is one of the many Task Manager alternatives out there, offering information on what files are currently in use, what hardware, and what each program is doing. If the regular Task Manager isn’t giving you the info you need, Process Explorer will.

4. UNetbootin and YUMI

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Even if you’re a diehard Windows user, Linux can be really useful from time to time—especially for troubleshooting. Traditionally, Linux distros and other troubleshooting tools come in the form of live CDs, but if you don’t have a CD drive, UNetbootin is a seriously handy tool. It can turn nearly any ISO into a bootable flash drive. Even better is YUMI, which lets you put multiple live CDs on one flash drive—meaning you can combine all your favorite rescue discs, Linux distros, and other tools and put them in your pocket.

3. Wireless Network Watcher (and Other Network Tools)

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Need to see a list of all the computers on your network, along with IP addresses, MAC addresses, and other information? Whether you’re planning your network or think someone’s stealing your Wi-FiWireless Network Watcher is a handy tool to have around. Despite its name, it works over wired networks, too. Of course, we also recommend checking out all of NirSoft’s network tools—which one you use depends on what you’re trying to troubleshoot, but they’re all pretty awesome.

2. WinDirStat

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
We all reach that fateful day at some point: when your computer tells you its running out of space. Not sure where it’s all going? WinDirStat will tell you. It scans all of your disks and shows you the biggest folders, which file types are taking up space, and more. If you’ve tried the usual things (like Disk Cleanup) and are still coming up short, WinDirStat is the next step in the disk cleaning process.

1. Sandboxie

Top 10 Incredibly Useful Windows Programs to Have On Hand
Let’s admit it: sometimes, even though we know it’s wrong, we all open the occasional sketchy program or file. We’re not judging, but if you’re going to do it, at least use protection. Enter Sandboxie, which lets you run programs independent of the rest of your system. That way they can’t infect, access, or otherwise interfere with your Windows installation. It’s also great for testing apps you aren’t sure of or running multiple instances of an app that won’t let you, so it’s fun for the whole family.

19 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do On Facebook

19 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do On Facebook

Never get a Candy Crush request from your ex-friend’s mom again.
FacebookJenny Chang / BuzzFeed

1. Teach your friends how to *actually* pronounce your name.

Facebook
Go to your profile page, then About, click Details About You, then under Name pronunciation, click “How do you say your name?.”
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
This is how it shows up on your profile!

2. Disable the Facebook Messages “Seen” read receipt.

Jessica Misener / BuzzFeed / Via buzzfeed.com
Those pesky read receipts RUIN lives. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t want to reply because you’re ~not in the mood~, then you should disable “Seen” receipts so people don’t know you’re ignoring them.
Download the Facebook Unseen Chrome extension or install Chat Undetected for Firefox and Internet Explorer. The downside? You won’t be able to see when people have read your messages.

3. Export all of your friends’ birthdays to Google Calendar, iCal, or Outlook.

Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Never miss a birthday AGAIN. Go to your Events page in the left column. Now look on the bottom right for two links: Upcoming Events and Birthdays. Copy one of those links.
Open Google Calendar, and click on the down arrow next to Other Calendars > Add by URL, paste the URL and … you’re done!
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
In iCal, go to Calendar > Subscribe and enter the URL.
In Outlook, go to Tools > Account Settings > Internet Calendars.

4. Access the Facebook Messages “Other” Inbox you didn’t know existed.

Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Did you know that you have two Facebook inboxes? There’s an Other inbox for messages from your fans, AKA randos/people who aren’t your friends. People who haven’t friended you must pay a nominal fee to send a message to your main inbox.
To view love e-letters from your latest admirers, click on the Messages icon and then select Other.

5. Look for that one post.

Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Facebook search is now really good at searching for posts that have been shared with you.
If you’re looking for something specific a friend has posted, type their name and a keyword, and the post will appear in the results.
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed

If you’re traveling and want some ideas, search the location and peruse posts and photos from friends.

Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed

6. Post GIFs to Facebook.

Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
First, copy and paste the link to the GIF in your status bar. Then once a preview of the GIF appears, delete the link.
It’ll look like this!

7. Hide your Facebook friends list.

Facebook 12
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Head to your Friends tab and all the way over on the right, click Edit Privacy. Change the Friends List setting to Only Me.

8. Share a post with everyone except for one person.

Facebook 13
Mike Spohr / BuzzFeed / Via buzzfeed.com
Before you complain about your boss, maybe hide him or her from the post. In the “Who should see this?” menu next to the Post button, select Custom and add the undesired friend to the Don’t share this with list.

9. Stop Facebook from auto-playing videos in your News Feed.

Facebook 14
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Turning off those auto-play videos will also save your data plan! Open the Facebook app > Settings > Videos and Photos > Auto-play and slide to disable Smart Auto-play, then select Use Wi-fi Only.

10. Know the Facebook Cover Photo size.

Facebook 15
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
It’s not easy finding a photo big enough to be a cover photo. Make sure you find an image that fits these dimensions.
On desktop, the cover photo dimensions are 851 pixels wide x 315 pixels tall. On mobile, it’s 399px x 150px.

11. Stop those annoying game requests.

Facebook 16
Facebook 17
 In the Facebook app, go to More > Settings > Notifications > Mobile Push and uncheck Application Requests. (You’re welcome)

12. If random friends keep bugging you, hide your online chat status.

Facebook 18
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
On desktop, open the chat window, click on the gear icon in the upper right, clickAdvanced Settings. Then, Turn off chat for all friends or Turn off chat for only some friends and add friend lists or names of people you’d like to ignore.

13. Change your relationship status without causing any ~drama~.

Facebook 19
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Going from In a relationship to Single? Prevent ringing the alarms by going to theAbout tab > Family and relationships > changing your privacy settings to Only Me. Switch your status to Single and changes will not appear in the News Feed.

14. Use Facebook’s built-in read-it-later bookmark feature.

Facebook 20
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
There are a ton of articles shared every day on Facebook, and there isn’t enough time in the day to click on all of them.
Tap or click the Share button and then Save Link. All of your bookmarked articles will appear on in the Saved tap in the left column (desktop) or in the More tab > Saved(mobile app).
Facebook 21
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed

15. Quickly send money via Messenger.

Facebook 22
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Ever noticed the little $ icon in Facebook Messenger chats? You can use it to pay Facebook friends up to $10,000 per month. The feature is similar PayPal, Venmo, or Square Cash. You can only pay via debit card, which you can enter in Facebook settings > Payments.

16. In the Facebook app, swipe left or right on a photo to throw quick filter on it.

Facebook 23
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
After uploading a photo, you can just swipe on the image itself or press the Editbutton for more options. There are seven to choose from.

17. Download new Facebook photos you’re tagged in to a Dropbox folder.

Facebook 24
IFTTT
Awesome for saving photos from a party or wedding! First create an account atIFTTT.com and then head to this page, where you’ll be prompted to connect your Facebook and Dropbox accounts. Once the accounts are verified, you can turn on the “recipe” and every photo you’re tagged in will be saved!

18. Create a “Look Back” video of your entire Facebook history.

Facebook 25
Nicole Nguyen / BuzzFeed
Go to facebook.com/lookback to watch your entire Facebook life flash before your eyes. The video, which is automatically generated by the site, features your first moments, your most like posts, and a collage of your most recent happenings. Scroll down to edit to photos you want to be featured.

19. If you have an iPhone, the Paper app (Free, iOS) will change your Facebook life.

Facebook 26
Facebook
This experimental iPhone app is the best way to view your News Feed. Large photos from friends and pages are splashed across the top, while status updates appear at the bottom. Keep scrolling to view shared articles and trending stories from across the web. It’s a feast for your eyes, and so much better than the Facebook app. Unfortunately, it’s only available for iOS users right now.
