Chris Control
March 31, 2009
Chris Control was the answer to my Prayers when I had a PC that would not connect through RDP. ChrisControl is an all in one client that uses both RDP and VNC. The neat thing about ChrisControl is if you know the admin account, it can remotely connect to the PC, install a VNC server and connct to it… No configuration Required! And to complete the puzzle it also removes VNC from the remote PC when you close the session, making your PC secure once again. This works great in our environment where not every PC is on the AD, and has the advantage both the tech and user to access the same screen at the same time.
Oh, and did I mention it also does WOL for those PCs who are powered down?

Ever have a clien that complains about running out of space on their Hard drive? Instead of spending all that time going through directories and finding out where the junk is, check out Spacemonger. This tool will scan hard drives on your PC and display it in a nice graphical fashion. As you can see in the screenshot, I took a quick scan of the recovery drive on my laptop.
Spacemonger comes in 2 versions, the Paid and free version. Personally I like the free version better. Its small and does everything I need it to. As an added bonus, it dosnt require an install, so I can take it along with me on a USB key or leave it up on the tools shared drive at the dealership.
Heres the Product link http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php
You may have to do some digging around for the download link. Its on the download page, under free software at the bottom of the list.
