There are many mundane little tasks we do over and over again as we use our computers. Something as simple as entering a user name and password is no big deal if you only do it once. But many of us have more than one e-mail account or other type of online access that requires this entering the same info every time we want in. What ever it is, these programs simplify and improve efficiency by automating the repetive requirements of todays computing.
- Gadwin PrintScreen: Want to create a screenshot suitable for saving or printing? Then just hit a key on your keyboard.

Decide if you want to just copy the capture to the clipboard or save it as a file in a folder on your hard drive. It's definitely worth the price: $0.00. Questions? Read the "Help" file.
