program control

  1. B

    Small utility for controlling access of programs to the network.

    Can anyone advise a program for monitoring installed software that tries to access the internet? Firewall in interactive mode can do this too of course, or Task Manager too, I'm looking for something specialised, with logging or statistics etc. Thanks for the tips Peter

  4. Windows 7 How to permanently remove programs from the Start Menu

    In another post someone asked the question: How to permanently remove/ban programs from the Start Menu Recent List? (Since manually deleting them will only get them back on once the program is started again.) The sole answer gave a suggestion to "switch the feature off". This answer though...

  5. Beyond the slider is there a way of modifying User Account Control?

    I know one can change how to allow User Account Control to change its settings (the slider) but is there a way for controlling which programs are always allowed (giving it permission hence never having to see that annoying window for that program)? I do not want to disable it. I just want...

    Windows 7 Restrict sleep to only operate when a certain program isn't running

    sleep mode works fine on my PC but what I want is more control over when sleep mode operates. If I could configure sleep mode to only operate when a certain program isn't running-- in other words sleep mode turns off when a certain program runs... Has anyone any ideas?

  8. Windows 7 Sound Mixer requires repeated attention to "Mute" when Windows sounds are enabled

    I've discovered another idiotic effect of a form of "late binding" (the dumbest development idea of all time). In short, if a user wants to mute Windows Sounds to listen to some music (for example, Windows Media Player), then every other program on the system that has sound feedback enabled...
