I was shocked recently, when software for excellent photo management was needed. A whole lot of newer options involving web servers, cloud hosts, etc., but very little simple and powerful, and some standards of yore are gone. However. One is not:
XnView MP
XnView has been around for decades, XnView MP is their new thorough revision. I tested a pile of these things, and XnView MP is by far the best, features and speed and design friendly for both new user and the technical.
Here are the others I tested:
- Irfanview (has features, much less friendly)
- nomacs (lacking features)
- digiKam (too slow, crashy)
- jpegview (lacking features)
- FastStone Image Viewer (lacking batch resize)
- ImageGlass Spider (lacking features)
- ACDSee Photo Studio (expensive, overkill, bloatware)
- Various Adobe products (expensive and overkill, or free and lacking features)
If you have better, please do let me know!
These folks:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
are offering an applet called “ProduKey”, which recovers keys for Office 2010, Windows 7, and lots of other things.
If the GUI won’t connect, find this file:
C:\Program Files\StorageCraft\ImageManager\ImageManager.exe.config
and then find an area which looks like this:
<setting name="password" serializeAs="String">
<value>rtfopwerfaassa</value>
</setting>
and remove everything between and . Then restart the ImageManager service, and you will be able to connect with no password.
If the Outlook 2007 window cannot be opened, run the following command line:
outlook.exe /resetnavpane
and try again.
Here is a document:

It is recommended that the following procedure be used:
a) Disable services
b) Remove everything possible using rmdir /s while terminating processes
c) Reboot
d) Disable one more service
e) Complete the task using the Revo Uninstaller tool (see previous post).
