DefPrin
By InSync Software Ltd
Checks that your default printer is the one you want and not that one in the Business Centre where you were working yesterday, so the confidential report you are about to print need not be read by all your colleagues or competitors. An absolute godsend for mobile laptop users. Here''s a little story to amuse you and to illustrate DefPrin. John travels to a number of sites at different locations where he is able to plug his laptop into the corporate network in the local business centre and use the printers there. At each site he has to remember to change his Windows Default Printer to one that is actually there if he wants to do any printing. One day he happily clicks on the Print button in his word processor program to print out a confidential report he has been preparing for his boss about the reorganization they have been planning. Unfortunately John had forgotten to change his Default Printer from the one he was using yesterday at the factory, with the result that the report is printed over there while John is wondering where it has got to. By chance the person who finds the report lying in the printer''s output tray at the factory is a local union representative. He finds it very interesting reading. John''s boss finds out before John does that the sensitive news has leaked, and John wonders whether he will still have the new role he had expected. If John had DefPrin installed on his PC the software would have reminded him as soon as he had switched it on, saving him a great deal of embarrassment and heartache. DefPrin is a really neat little solution to the problem of having too many things to remember to do. It doesn''t just provide a passive function that you have to remember to call upon - it remembers for you and reminds you every time.
Net Profile Switch
By JitBit Software
JitBit Net Profile Switch allows connecting a computer to two or more networks.. Ideal for laptop/notebook users, who travel from one network location to another. It switches a computer between multiple network configurations (profiles) with one click of a button. A profile can include LAN-settings (IP-address, DNS, gateway), your browser''s proxy settings (supports Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera), Windows Firewall settings, network drive mappings, default printer, SMTP-server and more. For example you can switch from a static to a DHCP assigned IP address, or switch one static IP address to another. Use your laptop/notebook on multiple networks: assume you have a DHCP-enabled network at your office, and a static IP-address assigned to your network card at home. Every time you connect your notebook or laptop to a new network, you have to change network adapter settings manually. But, wouldn''t it be easier to store two profiles (called "office" and "home") and switch between these two profiles? If you deal with two or more locations, you can benefit from this net switcher utility which creates a profile with your configuration settings: TCP/IP-settings, browser-proxy (Firefox-compatible, Opera-compatible), network drives, default printer settings, SMTP server address etc. Then you can easily switch between locations by activating a profile.
