Useful 3rd party tools to complement TC

[m^2]

You can try to rename DTaskManager.exe (or however it's named) to taskmgr.exe and place it in system32.

Somebody knows how can I change original behavior of Ctrl+Alt+Del ?
I want to activate DTaskManager instead of Task Manager.

Most task managers have an included option to replace task manager. If DTaskManager doesn't:

Replace Taskmanager (adjust path to DTaskManager.exe when needed):

Code: Select all

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe" /v Debugger /d "C:\Program Files\DTaskManager\DTaskManager.exe" /f

Restore Taskmanager:

Code: Select all

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe" /v Debugger /f

A very powerfull Task Manager: x. It can terminate any type of processes, bypassing all permissions; allows to suspend and reactivate a process (as in Linux)...

And take a look at the HDHacker on the same page. It saves/restores the MBR, and the BootSector.

Thanks in advance!

The program put into registry exactly what ICFU said.

Evernote Video

I have always found Evernote promising but not promising enough to purchase. This video shows a cool "text clip from bitmap" feature in the latest version.

Instead of writing things down, I've been photographing wine labels, signs/schedules/magazine articles/maps with my cell phone camera for years. This Evernote tool could appreciably enhance the usefulness of my method...

The demo is of Evernote running on a Mac, inadvertently showing some cool features of the Mac Finder while demonstrating the Evernote tool. I haven't used the Finder in years. It is considerably enhanced and has features I'd like to see added to TC.

Evernote is available for Windows too, and one can sign up for the current beta.

Please take a look at TFind.

It's a very fast file search tool for NTFS drives without any indexing. If someone could write a little FS plugin I would be very grateful.

Please take a look at TFind.

Similar to ndff.

Also NDFF (NTFS Direct File Find) do it, even with more features. But TFind is faster.

I have a GUI/Frontend for the old version of TFind with a "semi-integration" with Total Commander. If your are interested, email me
I should update it for handle all drives with this new version of TFind.

White text edited: Hacker was more faster

Is really fast, thanks for the info.
If not a FSPlugin maybe exist a way to "feed to listbox" the stdout directly? ... no?

[ZoSTeR]

I wrote a basic GUI for TFind in AutoIt but I'm not really sure how to integrate it in TC without a real FS plugin.
One way would be to jump to the folder containing a specific file via the TotalCmd command line parameters or somehow abuse DiskDir or TempPanel.

Concering NDFF: Performance wise I found TFind to be faster and NDFF doesn't seem to be actively developed anymore.

Here someone that use fastfind an open source search tool (with indexing though) and add the feature of open a new tab in totalcmd with the folder of found file.

fastfind original
fastfind with tc integration

and a thread in which( I think) he asks for help in order to make this app
Control from external program?

It is possible in locate32 also.

2fenix_productions:
If you can convince it's author to implement it, then yes.

It is not working via double click or enter but you can choose "Open containing folder" option from RMB menu. This one can be customized by yourself.

Sorry, I misread your post.
