Ron's Editor Lite is a powerful tool for viewing, searching and editing CSV files.

You could use the program as a simple grid. Drag and drop a CSV file onto Editor, it's displayed in a spreadsheet-type view, and you can scroll through it, select files, lines or columns, sort the document by specific fields, copy selections to the clipboard, and more.

A filter system and powerful search tool (with regular expression support) helps you drill down to the data you need.

Basic editing works just as you'd expect. Click in a field and start typing as required, or right-click for options to edit rows, delete rows or columns, insert rows, columns and more.

There are assorted surprise extras, including some handy Cell Fill tools (fill all or selected cells with a sequence of numbers or other patterns).

Please note, the Lite version of Ron's Editor can only save a maximum number of 1,000 rows (there's no limit for viewing), and doesn't support several advanced tasks (removed empty/ duplicate rows, advanced sort, external editors, template support, various Replace/ Add/ Remove/ Other manipulation functions). The program still works just fine as a viewer, and paying $35 to upgrade to the Pro version will remove any restrictions (you can activate a trial of Pro from the Lite interface).

What's new in 2019.02.20.0932 (see the changelog for more)?

- 'Match Case' added to Row Delete Duplicates and Row Merge.
- Bug fix in regular expression replace handling.
- Header overridden by Save As fixed.
- Various bug fixes.

SiSoft Sandra is a system information and diagnostic tool that can provide all kinds of useful information about your PCs hardware.

There's comprehensive information about many system components, for instance. And we mean "comprehensive". If you double-click the Processors module, say, you won't just get the model name and speed. It'll also tell you the number of cores, processor package, core voltage rating, minimum and maximum voltage, cache details, current temperature, and a whole lot more.

The program provides a range of benchmarks to test the speed of your hard drives, removable storage, file system, mobile device file transfer, processor speed, video rendering, memory bandwidth and network performance, amongst others. These checks are particularly useful if you're trying to optimise your system with hardware or software tweaks: run the benchmark before your speedup tweak, and afterwards, and you'll see exactly how much effect it's had.

And if, say, you've just overclocked your PC, then SiSoft Sandra can also run a burn-in test to confirm that everything is stable. If it passes then your PC is probably fine. If it fails, your PC crashes or locks up, then you'll know there's a problem somewhere, and can reduce your overclock accordingly.

There's plenty of features available here, then, but if you upgrade from the free Lite version then you'll gain many more: wireless networking benchmarks, 13 hardware and 14 software information modules, amongst others. Well worth a closer look.

This is the brand new 28.49 edition. See the changelog for more info.

Unlike a Mac, Windows seems to have problems going in to sleep mode and staying asleep. The number of times we’ve left our desktops in low power mode, to find they are on and running in full power mode, the next day. The problem is that we really want to avoid having to shut down our computer every evening. Yes, it’s better for the environment, but Windows can take ages to boot and launch our startup applications.

However, things are made much worse if there’s a problematic startup application. This can happen when you’ve installed software on your computer and then attempted to uninstall. When you try and uninstall software from your computer, if the application is still partly open on your computer, some of these remnants will remain in your Registry. Try and boot your machine and you may find that it gets confused, trying to find those uninstalled files, which means it takes far longer to boot as a result.

There is a solution and, unfortunately, it’s not built in to Windows. AutoRuns is an official Microsoft application that enables you to run an analysis on every startup application, process and other file, so you can see where the problematic files remain. You can then quickly disable or remove these files.

What's new in 13.94?

- Fixes a bug that prevented UserInitMprLogonScript from being scanned and by-default enables HCKU scanning for the console version.

Bullzip PDF Printer "Community Edition" creates a virtual printer driver that lets you convert just about any Windows document into an industry-standard PDF file.

To use the program, first open the document that you'd like convert into PDF, then choose the Print option. Select "Bullzip PDF Printer" in the list, click Print, and the conversion dialog will pop up. And if you're happy with the default settings, then all you need to do is provide a name for the file, click Save and your PDF document will be created and displayed.

Need more control? Then browse the Bullzip PDF Printer tabs, where you're able to define the document resolution and metadata (author, title, subject and so on), add a watermark, password-protect and encrypt your document, or add it to the end of an existing PDF file.

And while we suspect you'll mostly want to create PDF files, Bullzip PDF Printer can also export your documents to several other formats: BMP, EPS, JPEG, PCX, PNG, PS and TIFF.

Version 11.9.0.2735:

One of the innovative new features planned for MacOS Mojave is 'Dynamic Desktop' which will automatically transition your desktop from light to dark, depending on the time of day.

OS X and Windows 10 both offer a Light and Dark mode. You're either one or the other and need to manually move between the two depending on how you feel. We often keep dark mode on permanently, simply as it's easier on the eyes and it's too much hassle switching during the day.

The new 'Dynamic Desktop' Mojave feature will seamlessly transition between 16 different wallpapers during the day, enabling you to gradually migrate from a light to dark operating system, depending on the time of day.

WInDynamicDesktop brings exactly the same mechanism (and wallpapers) to your Windows 10 PC. Simply download from the official Microsoft store and you'll be required to input your location - this is required so the application can transition between wallpapers depending on the time of day. The first wallpaper is rather bright, by the latter stages of an evening, the wallpaper is almost a dark blue, which is much easier on your eyes.

WInDynamicDesktop simply sits in your system tray, running in the background. It also enables you to toggle manually between light and dark mode, too.

What's new in 3.0.0?

- Added support for free themes from 24HourWallpaper.com. If you are using one of their wallpapers we listed previously, consider downloading the new versions for improved image quality.
- Improved accuracy of wallpaper timing with 4 segment format (sunrise, day, sunset, night). See here for how to create your own theme. If you have created a custom theme before, you will need to update the JSON file to work with the new format.
