Welcome to the Geek Choice Blog

When navigating through your Windows file menus, you often find yourself performing a number of tasks, from altering the timestamp to creating new folders. In the Geek Choice office, one of my jobs entails the management of certain directories, which means the creation of multiple folders and management of the files contained therein are routine tasks.

Aiding in this process is an extremely helpful utility called JDContextMenu, a utility that updates your right-click Windows context menu with a number of helpful additions. This application bundles various features that you’d otherwise have to perform multiple clicks to use, including them all in your right-click context menu.

Some of those features include altering the time and date of a file, creating new folders (where you can, in fact, generate multiple new folders at once), copying the full filename to your clipboard, and running an MD5 checksum to assess the integrity of a file.

These are all tasks that you can perform right now, but JDContextMenu consolidates them in one convenient menu, sparing you those extra clicks executing them would normally require. If you’re someone who spends a considerable amount of time managing the folders on your computer, this might be something to look into.

NOTE: This is my 100^th blog, something of a special occasion. For those who’ve followed the Geek Choice blog from its inception, you know that I’ve tried to keep the public as informed as possible, linking you to helpful utilities and updating you on news that’s relevant to your computing experience. As long as I’m here, I will continue to contribute to this blog, keeping you informed and making your life on the PC a little bit easier.  If you ever have feedback to share, never hesitate to drop me a line.

We all like to spruce things up, keeping fresh for the New Year. With that in mind, you probably want to introduce a bit of variety to your desktop, making sure to rotate your wallpaper so you’re never looking at one that begins to grow stale.

While I have hundreds of images I’ve used on my desktop over the years, I’ve always had to manually set them, finding that I usually do so when growing tired of being greeted by the same image when booting my computer up.

There’s a new application that will juggle your images and update your wallpaper, leaving your desktop fresh in 2010. Not only will this tool set a rotating schedule for your wallpaper, but it also downloads new wallpaper images from two sites – Interfacelift and Wallpaper Stock.

Called Wallpaper Juggler, this tool is for Windows users.

Whether you’re buying a new suit for your wardrobe or hitting the roads in a shiny new car, ringing in the New Year fresh is a long held tradition for many, one that could very well apply to something as mundane as your desktop wallpaper.
