You can quickly activate or deactivate the utilities displayed in the dialog box. It is particularly useful if you wish to clean the dialog box of unnecessary entries.

OpenWithView

OpenWithView reveals an intuitive interface that lets you configure dedicated parameters in no time. It automatically detects and displays all entries found.

The application gives you the option of displaying information on each item, such as name, caption, action, command line (so you'll know where your executable is and see detailed program information!), process file name, product name, product description, product version and company name.

Smart Disk Checker - for testing your HDD and SSD disks

Smart Disk Checker is a free software program developed and published in France, providing you with a summary of the state of health of the disks on your machine. It gives you an overview of current and future problems, with a SMART diagnosis that details all indicators.

Smart Disk Checker

This way, in the event of a degraded or bad disk, you'll be able to understand why it was rated poorly. And if necessary, the software can perform a secure erasure of an entire physical disk. You can use it before cloning an image of a disk, so as not to retrieve previous information. More advanced users will also be able to view the hexadecimal part of a disk.

The free version of Smart Disk Checker, available as a portable version or for installation, does not allow you to create and print a full or partial report; only the professional version does.
