PC Doc Pro Controller to Keep Your PC in Your Hand

Take Command of Your PC With PC Doc Pro

As you become a more adept PC user, firing off hotkeys and juggling multiple windows simultaneously, you’ll eventually look for little shortcuts that shave off seconds and improve efficiency. What better way than to streamline ordinary, routine tasks via a utility program called FARR—Find and Run Robot. FARR comes equipped with some nifty tricks that make short work of your routine tasks, and for the control freak and programmer in you, creating plug-in extensions is easy with FARR.













FARR can be summoned by way of system tray or through the Break key; next, simply start typing in the name of application, file, or folder you desire and FARR pulls up a display of possibilities, essentially trying to guess your meaning based on the amount of information given so far. The display list is calculated based on variables that you may tweak at your whim; such variables include use frequency, spelling, et al.















FARR encourages the use of what it calls “aliases”, terse phrases that are shortcuts for programs, command-line tools, directories, and websites. For example, suppose you’re browsing a news article on cnn.com and realize you don’t know the definition of a particular word; FARR’s got your back! Type “define” and the word you’re looking up and you’ll get access to over a dozen online dictionaries.

Curious about a Hollywood movie? Key in “imdb” and the movie’s name in question and FARR will query the IMDB for a list of results. Trivial commands can be executed via “run” and the command you wish to execute. Make your own aliases with simple drag-and-drop operations and download extensions coded by other users on the FARR forums.

A stock Firefox installation gives you basic tabbing abilities, but did you also know you can take your tabs to a whole new level with Tab Mix Plus, a powerful Firefox tab manager add-on that’s easily installed. Tab Mix Plus affords you more power over your tabs; configure your tabs to open up as duplicates of the current page, or make Firefox open up your bookmarks in new tabs in lieu of the current one.

TMP gives you improved mousing functions as well, such as the ability to hover over a tab to select it. Tab Mix Plus also sports tab restoration abilities that improve upon the Fox’s stock restoration options. I don’t know about you, but I find the web surfing cumbersome without tabs, and TMP certainly gives you more power over your Firefox tabs.

The Universe On Your Desktop











Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope application can transport you to distant stars the likes of which are out of this world. Navigate the vast expanses of space on your own or via a guided tour. Select from categories, such as Solar Systems, Constellations, and Hubble Photos to explore at your leisure. I must admit, the images are beautiful and give the viewer a better appreciation of what’s truly out there past our planet. At times, the images can get a bit pixilated but this is rare and a very small annoyance. Be forewarned: this star traveling application is very addicting!
