Here is a New tool for Windows 7 and 8

Take Control of Your System

This program was written with you in mind. It puts system options in one place for you. It also allows you to open your favorite files and applications with a couple clicks.

Master Control Panel:

Runs "All Tasks" command a.k.a Windows "God Mode". Unlock the power of your PC with one stop.

Run Command:

Open programs with ease.

Shutdown options:

Shutdown or reboot your system with a couple clicks from the system tray. You can also abort a reboot, shutdown, or logoff that has been scheduled. Lock your computer to prevent others from using it without a password.

Recycle Bin:

Puts access to your recycle bin in your system tray. Open and empty your recycle bin from the easy to use menu. Detects and displays how many items and the size of the files in your bin.

Shortcuts!!!:

This is what the program was made for! Allows you to configure a list of your favorite programs for easy access in your system tray. This list can be as big or as small as you want it to be.

Custom tray icons and standard options:

Pick your own icon and set program to start at boot.

...? A bit useless? Or spam accounts?

I DARE someone to download and 'run' it

ignorant statements like that ARE useless

people have been using my software for years now... here is a picture of the last page for the download DB we have at sysfunctions.com

sfdownloadstats.PNG

that doesnt include the other 300+ downloads without the tracker... :D

anyways i updated the website last night... enjoy

So your plan for this, according to the 'Solutions' page, is to charge money for a system tray menu? If you're going to create a simple application (which this is) then just open source it and allow people to use it without trying to squeeze them for profit.

I'd also recommend redesigning your configuration dialogs so that they don't break UX conventions. Overriding window backgrounds, fieldsets (group boxes) and the like are very '99 and vb6.

edit:

And I'm not trying to bust your balls too hard here man, but take a look here: http://shellscape.or...94806538271.png

  • You have a form here named "Form1", function names and variables are misspelled (not the worst, but really?)
  • errrrrrything is stuffed into the root namespace.
  • Also, perform null checks - there are a lot of places they're needed.
  • Why in the world are you using registry keys with naming like this: (@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PAYMYRENT\SYSFUNCTIONS\ShortCuts ? "PAYMYRENT" looks like scamware (which this isn't) and makes it really difficult for someone looking for your app keys to find them, without searching the registry.
  • Ditch the "MyProject.Computer" namespace and utils. I know you're using VB.NET for this, and it's really convenient, but they don't update that namespace anymore, and using the actual, appropriate classes for the same functions is a much better idea.

Looking through the code for your app, it's not commercial quality. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

that's fine ill work on making it look better in reflector if you want... im only going to charge for it because its been around and I know people use it but they haven't donated anything.. you need to understand that if I would get 100$ in donations I wouldn't charge people for it... :D

I'm not sure from your reply if you understand... reflector does a pretty good job of original source code representation.

I disagree with your justification 100%. Gmail Notifier Plus has over 65,000 downloads (that I know of) and you won't catch me trying to release a paid version after years of releasing it free, and open source. I write software to suit my needs, and I release it for others who might find the same use for it. I'm not in for profit, and I think your reasoning is counter to the nature of this forum (Software created by our Members). I don't agree with your justification for charging either - "donate, or else"

If your goal is to release commercial quality software, you have a lot of work to do.

Honestly, it's a simple app. You haven't obfuscated it, so just make it open source and stop trying to squeeze people for money.

neither am I... I would rather it stay free but I did warn the users if I don't cover the cost of the server space with donation I would charge for it...

I wrote this to help me get to my server settings faster when I was running my own 2008 r2 box... just to help with iis and all the other task that "All Tasks" had to offer

anyways --> my heads up: lol.PNG

Put it up on SourceForge, or one of the other sites, and then, guess what, you won't need to pay for a server!

  • 3 weeks later...

There are other software project hosting sites, Google has one, and i believe GNU also has one.

I know but it was a group decision to setup a server and get a site dedicated to the programs. All of theese programs have been in the making for about 4 years.. its nothing new to us its just new to you all :D

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
