Aladdin Desktop Tools 1.0 ($89.95) gives you a better way to organize and manage your everyday desktop functions and chores. The package's tools include Desktop SpeedBoost, which eliminates long waits during the copying, duplicating, and trashing of items; Desktop Shortcut, which lets you instantly find, open, and view the contents of files; and Desktop Viewer, which lets you view the contents of files without having to open (or even own) the application that created them. In addition, the Desktop Printer tool allows you to instantly switch printers, Desktop Makeover adds features to the Finder, Desktop Magic Tools adds tools to the Finder, and Desktop Secure Delete erases sensitive files, rendering them unrecoverable from file-recovery utilities.
