Take a look at this: http://www.ac.ugal.ro/staff/ckiku/software/slowcopy.htm

Quite powerful and somehow not so widespread as it should be. Not many people know about this tool to complement TC even if it’s also available in Maxwish’s web site.

Another useful tool (it's freeware): PC Inspector: to recover deleted files (fat and NTFS). Take a look:

Good tip, JP.
This tool let's you recover deleted files where others (Norton Utilities) fail.
Plus it's fast & easy. :D

I have tried Firebird 0.6, but it crashes my Win2k to a blue screen of death, so I had to go back to Phoenix 0.5. :(

Btw, does anyone know a tool which can save the blue screen contents to disk? It flashes for half a second and then reboots, no chance to read the error message...

Latest build of Mozilla Firebird can be found here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/

It's usually pretty stable.

Phoenix 0.5 is old software - lots of features has be added and lots of bugs fixed since November.

I'm using the following version on Win2k and WinXP with no problem:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030603 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

You can get Firebird night releases every 2 days...thinks are always getting better.

Maybe you can read the blue screen when you disable the "Automatically reboot" option (default: enabled) in the "Startup and Recovery" dialog of Windows 2000 accessible thru "Control Panel"->"System"->"Advanced tab".
Furthermore I would expect the blue screen contents or portions of it in the "System Log" of the "Event Log" service accessible thru the "Event Viewer" if the "Write an event to the system log" option is enabled (default).

editors for use with TC

Post by *avgasse »

Some editors used by TC users I know:

EditPad Lite & Pro
I like this because the search&replace supports regexp
syntax coloring

Dana
Also syntax coloring
haven't used it myself, though

This is actually disabled, but Windows still reboots! :(

Unfortunately not - this catches only debug messages generated by programs at runtime.

Well...
"DebugView also extracts kernel-mode debug output generated before a crash from Window NT/2000/XP crash dump files if DebugView was capturing at the time of the crash."
But I have never used it though...[/face]

Powerpro http://www.windowspowerpro.com and

MyIE2 http://www.ruihehang.com/myie2/

You only have to try these programs to see how useful they are.

I didn't know that it would be so complex to save a blue screen... I think that it's better to keep Phoenix 0.5 for now, and hope that they fix the blue screen bug on Firebird 0.7. I don't want to use any nightly builds in a production environment.

Hi all :D
Some nice tools I used in TC:

1.killcopy
http://killprog.narod.ru/killcopye.html
It's a cool move/copy/resume copy tool for win9x/nt and also can improve the copy function for Total Commander. Recent version works fine with TC.
Drag killcopy.exe from 'system' folder and drop it to TC toolbar after you install it, Enter "|%L|%T| -ru" in Parameters field

2.Fake!
http://w1.321.telia.com/~u32102551/fake.html
A utility to use in Windows popup menu for explore/browse directories and execute files.
Drag FAKEMENU.EXE from setup path and drop it to TC toolbar, Enter /s:20 /excl:.dat;.dll;.grp;.sys "%P" in Parameters field. maybe useful when you want to open the 'bat', 'hlp' and 'chm' files :)

3.EDXOR
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/
EDXOR is a versatile, convenient and optimal text editor and file processor that far surpasses the capabilities of other Notepad-like applications. It's just 27K!
Same action as above but use %N Parameter. :lol:

4.dsDIR
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/
dsDIR saves a list of all files in a directory (not include subdir, just 4K!).
Make a button for it, drag and drop any folder to this button, you will get a filelist file in that folder.
