CD/DVD Drive Locker

http://www.softbureau.com/

If you have small children in your family, then you are probably
familiar with the situation in which straight after they learn to move
around independently, they begin to touch everything that they came
across.

In particular, children like to open and close the CD/DVD drive on the
computer, and press the Reset button.

The CD/DVD Drive Locker helps to temporary turn the CD/DVD ROM drive
off, and so pressing on the CD/DVD drive’s buttons doesn’t lead to the
CD/DVD drive being ejected.

CD/DVD Drive Locker Requirements

* Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista
* 523 MHz Pentium or better
* 10 MB free hard drive space

License agreements - a pain?

End user license agreements (EULAs) are the bane of most computer users.
No one wants to read through pages and pages of boring text before
installing a program. And many programs put their license agreements
in small windows that require lots of scrolling. So many people either
skim them or skip reading them altogether.

But it can be dangerous not to read license agreements.
License agreements can provide information about the intentions of
software, and other bundled components. Have you ever installed a
program, only to have your desktop taken over by advertising? It may
have been noted in the license agreement that you simply clicked past.
If you aren’t reading the license agreements, you have no idea what
you could be agreeing to.

You should always read license agreements before agreeing to them.
But now there’s a way of making that much easier.

EULAlyzer - Making it all easy

EULAlyzer can analyze license agreements in seconds, and provide a
detailed listing of potentially interesting words and phrases.
Discover if the software you’re about to install displays pop-up ads,
transmits personally identifiable information, uses unique identifiers
to track you, or much much more.

The Benefits

* Discover potentially hidden behavior about the software you’re
going to install
* Pick up on things you missed when reading license agreements
* Keep a saved database of the license agreements you view
* Instant results - super-fast analysis in just a second

And with additional features like the EULA Research Center, which
optionally allows users to anonymously submit license agreements they
scan to help us to further improve the program, everyone can be a part
of the effort to make something that used to be so tedious, so easy.
