Process Lasso is an advanced task manager with ability to keep tab on resource hoggers resulting in system lockups and crashes, this small utility sits in your system tray and kicks in when certain user defined conditions are met like an application eating up more than 60% of your CPU cycles, Process Lasso will then avoid system lockup or crash by dynamically lowering process priority of the particular process.

Author Description:

Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring your system to a virtual stall.

In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, default process CPU affinities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. With Process Lasso you essentially create rules to manage processes running on your system. For example:

1. Examples Make notepad.exe run at below normal priority each time its launched.
2. Make firefox.exe run only on CPU #1 each time its launched.
3. When any process is consuming 35% or greater of the CPU for 1.5 seconds or more and the total system CPU usage is 95% or greater, lower that process's priority until it returns to 5% CPU utilization.

Both Windows Vista and XP supports multiple user accounts and prompt for login each time computer starts, this can get annoying and time-waster if you are the only user of the computer and do not want to get prompted for password or welcome screen, to get windows to autologin into your user account follow the steps as below:

For Windows Vista:

Acrobat PDF files can be protected using passwords to restrict access to the file itself or certain functions like editing, copying or printing. However in many situations the owner himself forgets the password resulting in an unaccessible document, for such cases there exist several PDF password recovery\cracking software's but most of them are commercial and you need to pay for them. But don't worry we have found something free for you, "PDFCrack" is a open-source command line utility for Linux and Windows to crack PDF passwords with ease, the software uses wordlist and brute force password cracking methods to get its work done.

1. Supports the standard security handler (revision 2 and 3) on all known PDF-versions
2. Supports cracking both owner and userpasswords
3. Both word lists and brute forcing the password is supported
4. Simple permutations (currently only trying first character as Upper Case)
5. Save/Load a running job
6. Simple benchmarking
7. Optimized search for owner-password when user-password is known
