Half a Million Downloads of SetACL

Last month SetACL reached the magic number of 500,000 downloads. That is a lot, especially for a command-line tool which is focused on a very specific aspect of system administration.

It took roughly nine years to get from 0 to 500,000. During that time people from 194 different countries visited SetACL’s web site. Those are 99% of all countries on this planet (the total number of countries depends on how you count - the best number seems to be 196).

Countries with most downloads:

  1. United States
  2. Germany
  3. United Kingdom
  4. France
  5. Netherlands
  6. Japan
  7. Canada
  8. Australia
  9. China
  10. Russia

As can be seen from the statistic, a country’s position depends mainly on its development and the level at which English is spoken (SetACL’s web site and the UI are English only).

The month with the most activity was March 2010 with 23,263 downloads.

Now on to the next 500,000!

DiskLED - A Flexible Hard Disk and General System Activity Indicator System Tray Applet
What do you do when your computer reacts sluggishly to even the simplest commands? You probably look at its hard disk LED to determine if the disk is busy, because if it is, the only thing that really helps is waiting (apart from buying a faster disk or SSD). Problem solved - if you are sitting right next to the machine. But what if you are using a protocol like RDP or ICA to connect to a remote computer or VM? No HDD LED, no quick and simple way to check for hard drive activity. This has been bugging me enough to write a software replacement: DiskLED.

Free Tool - List Registry Links (REG_LINK)

Recently I got into a very interesting discussion with my colleague Nicholas Dille on various aspects of Windows x64. One question he brought up was especially intriguing: knowing about registry redirection, it is not astonishing to find that the 32-bit version of the registry key HKLM\Software\Classes (aka HKCR) gets to be HKLM\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node. But there is also HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Classes!? How can there be two different Wow6432Node 32-bit keys for one 64-bit key?
