Icon Configuration Utility 3.3

Icon Configuration Utility is a program that restores your desktop when the icons get rearranged.

Operation is easy – press “Save” to store a particular configuration and “Restore” to reset the icons to the saved positions in the selected configuration file. “Delete” allows you to remove unwanted configuration files from the list.

There is a command line option so that the restoration can be run via HotKeys if required (that is why the script warns that it should be compiled for full functionality). You can decide what to do with any icons that have been added since you last saved the configuration file – the default is to put them in the top-left corner, but you can also banish them way off-screen or, more sensibly, specify a location for them.

System Requirements:
* Windows XP SP3 (32-bit)
* Windows Vista (32-bit)
* Windows 7 (32-bit)

TorChat 0.9.9.550

TorChat is a peer to peer instant messenger with a completely decentralized design, built on top of Tor´s location hidden services, giving you extremely strong anonymity while being very easy to use without the need to install or configure anything.

TorChat just runs from any USB drive on any Windows PC.

Tor location hidden services basically means:
* Nobody will be able to find out where you are.
* If they are already observing you and sniff your internet connection they will not be able to find out
o what you send or receive (everything is end-to-end encrypted)
o to whom you are sending or receiving from
o where your contacts are located

The Tor binary which is bundled with TorChat is taken from the official Tor-0.2.2.20-alpha installer. You can binary compare the tor.exe with the official one to verify this or replace it with your own version of tor.exe if you like.

What’s New in version 0.9.9.550:

* fix some string encoding problems (and crashes) with non-ascii user names or folder names.
* Windows: update the bundled tor.exe to current stable version 0.2.2.34
