Recover Deleted Files from Digital Cameras, MP3 Players and USB drives

There are various free utilities that can recover files accidentally deleted from hard drives but I've long searching for something that works with files accidentally deleted from flash memory in digital cameras, MP3 players or USB drives.
Recuva is a free utility from the makers of the highly regarded CCleaner. Not only does it recover files deleted from flash memory it also works for hard drives as well.Recuva of course cannot undelete files that have been written over or are stored in physically damaged sectors. However its ideal for recovering those precious holiday photos immediately after you accidentally erased them. Free for Windows 98-Vista.


"Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!"

The Best Registry Cleaner so far

Beyond normal lenght of time most computers start running slower and slower. The most common cause is the Windows Registry becomes too large, bloated and full of errors. Cleaning your registry removes these problems and can make your PC run just like new. The improvement can sometimes be so dramatic that you may find that you won't need to upgrade to a newer PC.

Screenshot.

There are many registry cleaners available but only one product Ccleaner. It not only cleans better than the competition, it's faster, easier to use and very safe

"CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :) "

There are many ways to do this but one of the easiest is to use the free KeepVid web service (keepvid.com). Just paste the video link into the KeepVid site and then download the video to your PC as an avi file, Flash file (flv) or as an MP4 for your iPod, PSP or any other portable gadget.
