BulletsPassView

In case you want to see what password someone has typed in any program then I think BulletsPassView is the best choice for the purpose. You just have to open it and it will tell you what the currently entered passwords are. Likewise WirelessKeyView it’s also a NirSoft program.

 Unfortunately, BulletsPassView does not work with all programs, as some correctly store their passwords in a way that BulletsPassView does not get access to them. Programs like Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. Apart from this, it’s a very useful program and can come in handy quite a bit.

HiFiTo

The people who deal more with hidden files must have experienced the pain of the Tools menu (or Organize, or whatever Microsoft named it this time), going to Folder Options, going to the second tab, and unchecking what you need unchecked. And afterward doing it again as you have to reset it.

For you there is a fabulous utility that automates this for you. Are you eager to know about this utility? So let me introduce you HiFiTo which is a tiny 100% portable program. You simply have to press a keyboard shortcut or use its system tray icon and you would be displayed hidden files or show file extensions. It’s a great utility to keep on your thumb drive, especially for those who work on a lot of computers.
