Good free screen capture software

This screen capture software is free and easy to use. It has many nice features like:

  • dual-monitor support
  • auto scroll
  • portable setup (no installation)
  • sound effects
  • various sharing tools

PicPick can also do a lot of other stuff regarding the screen capture production like:

  • image editing
  • magnifying
  • screen cross-hair and ruler
  • whiteboard feature
I really like this tool because it has most of the stuff I use when I make screen capturing. I can just save it to my USB stick and have it with me, include all my settings.

Unlock files in Windows that is used by other processes

If you can't delete a file if some program is locking it, but you don't know which or do you get a message like this:
  • Cannot delete folder: It is being used by another person or program
  • Cannot delete file: Access is denied
  • There has been a sharing violation.
  • The source or destination file may be in use.
  • The file is in use by another program or user.
  • Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
, then these applications can help you.

I use both and they they do the job well.
Both runs on both 32 and 64 bits Windows.
