Hiren's BootCD (HBCD for short) is a well-known, very popular and reliable bootable CD-ROM with a full set of commonly-used Windows and DOS system maintenance tools (only including free and legal software). But it has stopped updating since 2012. Hiren's BootCD PE is one of its enhanced PE edition developed by fans users, which also can be seen as its an unofficial successor.

For privacy protection and data security purposes, it is very necessary to set a login password for the Windows user in use in many environments (especially the public places). But sometimes, we may forget our login password for those computers we don't use very often, or remember the wrong password, and fail to log in. This case, reinstalling the operating system is a inadvisable bad plan; and taking brute-force password cracking is extremely inefficient. Therefore, clearing the original user password has always been the first choice - also the easiest and most efficient way.

Directory Opus (DOpus for short) is a superexcellent Windows Explorer alternative with a long development history, written by Jonathan Potter from Australia, and originally developed for Amiga computer system in 1990. Its development time is far ahead of all other similar software, such as: XYplorer, Xplorer2, Total Commander, which also laid its leading position in the field of Windows Explorer/File Explorer alternatives.

First of all, I want to explain one thing: releasing a post for WinZip doesn't mean AppNee accepts it. At best, it's to look after the requirements of some Apple OS users. The reason is very simple, likewise as the pioneer and classical documents packaging & compressing applications, WinZip had been completely defeated by WinRAR for many, many years. Plus the free, open-source and extremely high compression of 7-Zip, WinZip has less future. Even it was acquired by Corel Corporation in 2006, WinZip still has no capability to survive in the file archiving field. Finally, it either disappears from the historical stage, or just descends to a bundled software of Corel products line, or derives many trend-following sister products, until finally disappears forever.

Total Commander (TC for short) is written in Delphi by Christian Ghisler from Switzerland. It's originally called Windows Commander, but because Microsoft always says "Windows" was theirs (in 2002), it had to change to use its current name. The reason AppNee did not recommend this edge tool before is that we thought it is more suitable for advanced computer users (lets them ice on the cake), not a beginner at all (so daunting that makes most users feel confused and uninstall it immediately).

First of all, you should recognize an eternal truth - No software can help you increase your physical bandwidth! cFosSpeed is not an exception. Put in a different way, this software only improves the network environment at your end, not the real, physical one provided by your ISP. In simple terms, it enables you to relatively smoothly surf the web, play online games at a lowest possible Ping value while using IDM or BT client based on P2P and such tools to download at a full speed.

Until now I'd still like to use Microsoft Office Professional 2003 (codenamed Office 11), not the much fatter and slower 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016. Here, AppNee provides the ultra high compressed versions (less than 33 MB), which are all the tiniest/minimalist ones you could ever seen on the whole Internet. They were all tested working all right on Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10.

Winamp was first released in 1997, and had taken the world since Version 2 (released in 1998). From Version 3 (released in 2002), Winamp started losing a lot of users. The subsequent V5 and V5.x are both powerless. We can see that, even now, Winamp still hasn't given up the hope of rebirth! While the key to its fate is its frequent owners' change hands (being acquired by AOL was a fatal mistake) and indecisive business pattern and profit model (free -> commercial -> free) - reduced to a pure trade good, which made iTunes perfect.
