HDD-Profiler : Small and Powerful Hard-Disk-Drive Profiling Utility

What are these files doing here? Where? Who? HDD-Profiler is a powerful HDD (Hard-Disk-Drive) profiling utility that will inform you which files/folders were created, modified, accessed or removed in certain areas of your hard disk by creating system snapshots.

HDD-Profiler also features an easy-to-use graphical user interface and it is accurate and highly-featured.

[ Main Applications ]

When & why should I use it?

• Make a snapshot before you start installing new software then after the installation is complete check to see what was added to your system;
• Make a snapshot before you start surfing the web then after you’re done surfing check to see what ‘goodies’ were added to your system
• Viruses tend to move around … maybe you’ll catch them when they do this
• Sometimes programs write stuff into temporary files and forget to erase them What if they get too big?
• If you’re repairing/servicing computers for other people make a snapshot and if they call you again to fix some system problem you’ll have a chance to know what might of went wrong, who knows, they might of accidentally erased some system file this certainly helps and prevents a lot of head aches
• Need I say more?

[ Instructions for Using ]

• A snapshot is a simple text file that contains information about every file/folder found on your system. This file should be encrypted when it’s no longer needed;
• Whenever you make a profile HDD-Profiler generates a ‘fresh’ snapshot and it will compare it with the one given by you;
• By comparing the two snapshots HDD-Profiler will generate a profile in which it will inform you about what files/folders have been changed, that is, it will tell you which folders were created or removed, it will tell you which files were used by checking the created, modified, accessed and size properties and it will tell you if a file was added/created or removed. You can check these properties yourself by applying a right-click on a file and selecting ‘Properties’, just do it for every file on your HDD
• Please note that the profiling process might take a while because your system might have over 500000 files therefore if you want to reduce the processing time create profiles for certain folders, that is, don’t try to do it all at once unless you have the time & patience to wait until it finishes or unless you have HI-Tech hardware.
