Krento, a brand new application launcher

While Krento is running, press Win+C to launch the dock which looks like this:

Of course, you can skin it. There are plenty of stylish skins to choose from and it’s compatible with Rocket Dock skins. A number of applications will be already added to the dock. To replace an application from a dock (they call them “Stones) simply drag the application shortcut or a file to it. You can right click on a “Stone” to change it’s type from program, file, URL etc.

To launch an application just click on a Stone or use the keyboard hotkey CTRL+ (Function keys). A maximum of 12 applications can be added to the dock. If you need more you will have to create a new dock or a new Circle, although you can’t have multiple circles running at the same time. But these can be saved and loaded one at a time, and you can create any number of circles you want.

Krento requires .Net Framework 2.0 installed and compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.
