One of the most annoying this I had experienced in windows is when ever I play a game on my desktop or laptop after resuming back from the game. I was used to find my desktop cluttered and all the desktop icons scattered every where.

This was really frustrating for me, as I had to rearrange them on the desktop area for easy accessibility. DeskLock is such free software which lets you lock your desktop icons locations so that they can not move from the specified positions you had set.

You just need to make sure that this small utility is running in the system tray and irrespective of what ever you do the desktop icons will not move from their locations

1 Comment on CloseMany – End or Kill Multiple Process Running At Once

CloseMany is one such tiny utility which can act as a replacement for task manager in windows, with this simple task manager type application you can kill multiple process and services in single go, you just need to select all process you want to kill and then press the kill button at the top of the application.

I have a habit to kill some programs in windows time to time so that to keep the CPU free from getting used by some irrelevant process which keep wasting the memory and CPU all the time.

But neither it is task manager or process explorer cannot kill more than one task or process running at a time. This restriction of these programs makes the overall activity quite tedious and time consuming.
