New Find-A-Router tool feature

March 11th, 2010

I’ve just added a “USB Storage” option to the Find-A-Router tool. This will allow searches for routers that have a USB port that can be used to connect a USB Hard Drive or flash drive etc. At this stage there’s not too many products with that feature but it seems to be gaining popularity. I certainly get plenty of enquiries for products with that capability anyway.

I’m also considering adding IPTV but I think by the time I get to that one it will be a fairly standard feature across the board anyway. :P

Another one could be IPv6 but because Internode is the only ISP offering it at this stage, the router manufacturers aren’t in a big rush to add it. The only routers I know supporting it so far are higher end products like McAfee, Cisco (not the cheap stuff so far), Nortel etc.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Cannot delete file: Access is denied. The file is in use by another program or user.

December 24th, 2009

Ever been unable to delete or rename a file because another program is apparently using it but haven’t been able to work out which program it might be or how to get it to let go of the file?

WhoLockMe is a handy little freeware application that will do both. After istallation just right-click on the file in question in Windows Explorer and select “WhoLockMe” to find the culprit application and end its process.
