Optimize memory for running programs

Optimize memory for running programs

Initially developed for Firefox only, Minimem now can reduce the memory footprint of any application. It runs in the background and can be set up to optimize as many proceses as you'd like, using a very intuitive graphical interface. Unlike other memory optimization tools, it gives you full control over what applications you want to optimize, when and how often.

It optimizes memory by removing as many non-necessary memory pages as possible from the selected processes. It does so at regular intervals which can be user-defined as well and every 30s by default. This then optimizes your applications which can load those pages back whenever they need, and makes your overall system perform much better whenever it is memory limited.

Typical applications are:

* Reducing the memory footprint of memory-heavy applications that should not e.g. web browsers or office applications
* Making it easier to run applications with memory leaks, e.g. Firefox 2 or extremely large footprints e.g. Firefox 3
* Running multiple applications on the same computer e.g. web desktop tool, web browser, office application all concurrently
* Use computers that are not so recent with modern applications
* And many more...


Minimem in principle should support all Windows versions, though it is only tested on Windows XP 32 bits SP3.

Click below to download the Minimem installer. Also note Minimem requires the version 2.0 of the .NET framework to be installed on your computer (automatic with XP and Vista; has to be done by you for older versions; the Minimem installer will help you a bit with this).
Minimem (version 1.0): download .

If you are looking for a portable version of Minimem to e.g. run off an external drive, then just use the minimem.exe file the installer will place in the install folder (called minimem): this .exe does not rely on anything from the installer so this should work just fine.
Just launch the installer after you saved it on disk or launch directly from the link. The install process is straighforward and you can launch Minimem from the Windows Start menu once done with the installation.

And a last note: Minimem is a freeware, i.e. is free to use for any pusonal purpose; a more complete license agreement is available from the installer. If you'd like to use it for a professional purpose, this can certainly be arranged though is not provisionned for in our default license terms so please do contact us in such case.

View 100+ files in explorer




When you work in an office sometimes you get a file that is not readable for your computer because you do not have that particular software installed in your computer and you really don’t need that to install on your computer because you need that really so in that case you have only 2 options first one is install the software on your computer or second go to someone who already have that software installed.


If it’s like a pdf reader or something like that you can install it on your own computer but what if you get a cdr (corel draw ) file or psd (photoshop ) file than what you will do. It’s very resource consuming software and too costly too so what we should do. I searched for this and got a great tool called Explorer View you can download this software and can view 100+ files windows explorer only doesn’t matter that particular software viewer is installed in your computer or not.


Here is complete list of the Explorer View file that is visible from


You can download this from its website

Light Weight CD/DVD burning tool : IMG burn

IMG Burn Free CD/DVD burning tool

If I have to burn a data DVD from my XP machine than the most convenient option that I do have is Nero. Well Nero was my one of the most lovable software till version 6 version 7 was not good but it was ok but after version 7 what they did god knows. Instead of adding more feature for dis burning they added lot of other products those are not generally useful for many people and but also one have to install that because they don’t know what they should install and what they don’t need.

If you need to write only a data disk and that is only use that you do for you computer then IMG burn is best software for you. Its light weight low resources consuming software with good performance. New nero you cannot install on older pc but this software latest version will also run smooth on your Celeron 1GHz machine.

With IMG burn you can write image file to disc and can create image file from disc that support a large number of image files few are there that Nero also don’t support. In similar manager creating image file from disk and creating data disk from file folder is also available in this tool and this is a great tool for you if you are not a multimedia user and only need to burn data on DVD or need to copy disc.

For burning MP3 disk I will give some other tool very soon.

Not giving a direct download link because updates and new version come on regular interval and you can get latest updated version from its website with cost of nothing, because it’s free.
