PcToolbox 2010

Windows keeps track of almost everything happening on your computer, since it’s the main way to put hardware components to good use. It also comes with different utilities to tell time, and help you connect to the Internet. In case your PC is not quite stable, you can use simple applications like PcToolbox 2010 to instantly view the state of different features.

One of the main requirements for functionality is .NET Framework, so you need to make sure it is installed on your computer, even if it’s a default feature of modern Windows iterations. The application can run right after download, because no setup is required, allowing you to carry it around on a thumb drive.

If you consider the application provides the means to keep your PC in good shape, you might end up in disappointment. This is because there are absolutely no management options, for none of the areas it targets. It’s only purpose is to provide brief info on several computer features status, and help keep track of time.

Sure enough, you don’t need any help getting around the way info is obtained, especially because of the organized method they’re displayed in. However, the depth of info shown leaves more to be desired, and even the time tracker component is only fitted with a calendar, and no clock.

You’re able to view the remaining disk space, your computer’s name on the network, and related IP address, whether you’re connected to the Internet, screen resolution, and battery power. Each of these areas are triggered at the press of a button. A prompt shows up letting you know the requested info type, but it can’t be copied or exported, and discarded on exit.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that PcToolbox 2010 is not quite the set of tools you’re hoping to find, unless you find it convenient to fix a vehicle with the instructions manual alone. There aren’t any management options, and although info is shown in clever phrases, it only serves for instant knowledge, and can’t be copied or exported.
