IMG Quickie: Get control of your PowerPoint presentations: This article shows you a number of ways to control PowerPoint Presentations. There is even a nice tweak to make the right click move back a slide, instead of bringing up a grey context menu over the top of your presentation. This is great in the case you have someone else clicking through the slides.

IMG Face-Off: Best free program to undelete deleted files: I looked at a number of utilities that would undelete deleted files. Out of the four I tested, three of them had similar results, garbled numbers for filenames, and fewer results than the final program I tested. NTFS Undelete won out as it gave a long list of very files, including some very old files, which undeleted without error.

Windows Mobile: Control your device from your PC with My Mobiler: My Mobiler will bring up your Pocket PCs screen on your desktop or laptop screen. You can then control it using your keyboard and mouse. There are snapshot and movie capture modes, some very handy shortcuts, and it also has a great drag and drop file transfer feature. This was treat for me when I found it. My Mobiler works really well.
