Monitoring your PC and Useful PC Tools

Search Google for these good PC monitoring tools and utilities:

- For hardware monitoring, such as temperature, fan speeds and battery capacity, check out HWMonitor.

- PSTools and SysInternals for Windows Server maintenance. Also works good for workstations and home PC networks.

- If you need a quick virtual printer driver to archive monitoring results, search for PDFCreator on SourceForge. To change the default print size from A4 to Letter, change it in Document Properties 2 in PDFCreator first. Then open Properties in your Printers and Faxes Control Panel and change the default page size under the Printing Preferences button.

- If you need a quick virtual DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive to show up in Windows Explorer, search for Daemon Tools.
