xp-AntiSpy Setup Ver 3.96-6
http://xp-antispy.org/index
The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in
update and authentication ‘features’ in WindowsXP.
For example, there’s a service running in the background which is
called ‘Automatic Updates’. I don’t know what this service transfers
from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS
ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you
can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System
and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you
approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat
utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully
tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known
‘Suspicious’ Functions in WindowsXP. It’s customiseable, but comes up
with the Default settings, which are recommended. This utility is
DONATIONWARE! This means, you don’t have to pay anything for this
program and you can give it to anyone who’s interested in it, as long
as you don’t sell it. If you find this tool useful, and wanna gimme
something back, think about donating a small amount of money.

USB Disk Ejector Ver 1.1
http://quick.mixnmojo.com/usb
A program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It
was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now
eject any USB device. It can be run as a non-visual command line
program or a normal gui program. Its very useful if you have a USB
flash/pen drive, especially if you use a menu such as PStart or the
Portable Apps launcher.
The command line options are very flexible, they can be used to:
* Eject the drive that the program is running from.
* Eject a drive by specifying a drive letter.
* Eject a drive by specifying a drive name.
* Eject a drive by specifying a partial drive name.
When run as a ‘normal’ GUI program the tools enables USB devices to be
quickly ejected through a mouse click or keyboard press. It’s
especially useful when dealing with multiple USB devices and for Vista
users who don’t want the ‘now safe to remove this device’ dialog box
to appear.
The program has been tested on WindowsXP and Windows Vista but should
also work on older versions of Windows.
