free software to access HFS/Mac file systems

For a limited time, Paragon Software is giving free licenses for HFS for Windows:

“HFS for Windows enables the use of Mac-formatted partitions in Windows operating systems…

“…Windows cannot read from and write to HFS+ partitions. This limits the ability to exchange or share files between Windows and Mac OS X file systems…

“Paragon HFS for Windows is designed to provide full (read and write) access to HFS+ partitions. It can be installed on all versions of Windows…”

“HFS for Windows, the only software that lets you read Apple iPods, Macs and iPad data from a Windows PC…

“If you have an iPod you may probably know that it contains all your music inside some sly hidden folders. When you attach your iPod (excluding Touch models) to the system it can be seen as a simple Removable Flash Drive…”

Do the Taskbar Shuffle

Sometimes I have A LOT of things running on a computer. I multitask so much, using so many programs at the same time, I have used three computers…at the same. There can be a lot open in my Windows System Tray, and on my Taskbar…
It does work as advertised. But wait! There’s more! “Tweak taskbar button grouping”, meaning that you can move and arrange what’s on you taskbar. (“And then, I heard the angels sing…”)
There are “portable” versions: versions of Taskbar Shuffle you do not install into Windows. Just copy it to a storage device (hard drive, USB drive, etcetera) and execute the program.
(“And if you act now…”)
Its’ designed for Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT/95/98. There is a 32-bit version, and a 64-bit version.
According to the Frequently Asked Questions section of the website: “…when I have Taskbar Shuffle running for several days and I randomly check, its memory usage is usually under 1mb (which is VERY low)…if you ever see it using much more than 4mb and that bothers you, simply exit and restart the program…”
And, it’s free.
