You can also use this tool to copy bootable Windows disk. In that case, you have to use the Data Disk option. You can also use Image, Project, Copy option for this purpose. Have a look at the Nero Express tools below - 

Nero Express contains the essential options only. But if you're looking for more customization, then you can use Nero Burning ROM.

Cook Timer: Free Countdown Clock

Today I'm gonna share a nice countdown tool with you. Often you may need to set alarms while working with something. This is a light-weight and handy timer. It's known as Cook Timer. I think this will be really helpful for you.

Have a look at the interface below:

I think you've already got an idea from the above image. Look, I've set 5 minutes. And it's counting down. After finishing the 5 minutes, it will ring for two times - Tick tick. 

Presets

By default, you get 4 preset options. Choose any of the 4 radio buttons which you need. But if presets don't work for you, then choose Custom option. 

Custom

Choose custom to set alarm manually. Then set your time as HH:MM:SS.

Stop (Pause)

If you need to pause the timer for any reason, hit on the Stop button. When you need to resume, press Start. 

Reset

If you wanna stop the timer and start a new alarm, then hit on the Reset button. Then set it again. 

Automatic Restart

Suppose you need to hear alarm in every 5 minutes. Set the alarm accordingly. Select Automatic Restart option. Now start the alarm. After 5 minutes, the clock will ring for two times, and it will start again for another 5 minutes. This process will continue until you stop this. 

Ring Forever

Suppose you set the clock for 15 minutes. Maybe you need to stop the water pump when the clock will ring. After 15 minutes the clock rings, but can't hear. Because you're so busy with a phone call, or there was an aircraft passing your area. Finally you are 3 minutes late to stop the water pump. And your roof is flooded by water! 

But if you just select the Ring Forever option, it wouldn't happen. It will be ringing continuously until you stop the timer. :) 

Download Cook Timer

Download the Cook Timer from the above link. It's just 230 KB! After downloading, unzip it first. Then keep it in a safe place of your hard disk.

Usage

It's name is Cook Timer. That means you can use this while cooking something. Personally I use this handy tool when running my water pump. I set time when start the motor. And stop it when the timer rings. 

Besides you can use this for different purpose. 

Pin the Timer To Taskbar

You can pin this timer on your task bar for easy access. Find the CookTimer.exe from your hard disk. Then right click on it and hit on Pin to Taskbar. See the image below:

Now you will get the Cook Timer icon on your taskbar. To start the timer, simply click on it. You can also start it by pressing Start + (Cook Timer Position). 

This is Cook Timer in my Taskbar. To run the timer, I just need to press Start + 5. Because this is in the fifth position in my taskbar. 

In this way you can run the timer up to 9th place. If your timer is out of 9th place then drag and reposition it in your taskbar. 

How funny! I've crossed 500 words to write about just a little soft. Small tools sometimes could be smart if it gets a smart user!

IcoFX Portable Free Download !!

IcoFx is a professional icon and cursor editing tool - an all in one solution for icon creation, extraction and editing. This is a small but smart tool. Numerous features has been added to this software. But all these features are not my concern. I'm just gonna show how to convert image into icon using this tool. 

Before I start, could you please remember or at least have a look at the following posts? 

How to Show Picture on USB Flash Drive?

About two years ago, I published this post. It's a very cool trick. Most of the users were able to apply this to their flash drives. But some of them couldn't. Because they failed to create a proper icon of their desired images. Then I wrote another post.

Convert Image into Icon Online!

It's an online tool. It's quite handy. But sometimes you may need to work offline where no connection is available. And it doesn't have much customization capacity. That's why I'm writing about IcoFX Portable. 

System Requirements

It's compatible with any running version of Windows with no special requirement. But you should be skilled enough to operate this tool. It's interface is little bit confusing I think! 

Let's start by downloading the file (It's free of stupid Ads!).

IcoFX Portable (Free Download)

It's a zipped file. After downloading the file your should unzip it first. Then install IcoFx Portable for one time. Choose a proper location to install. It shouldn't be the drive C:\, I mean the booting drive. Choose a different disk other than your Windows installation directory.  

Now go to the folder where you've installed the software. Find IcoFX Portable. You can create a shortcut either on Desktop, Taskbar or Start menu to ensure easy access to this soft. 

Let's convert image into icon. Run IcoFX Portable. Go to the File menu and hit on the Import Image (Press Ctrl+M). Now find and select an image from your hard drive. At the New Image window, select your desired colors and size. If you don't understand the options, keep it default. And then hit OK. 

Now you will get a new window named Advanced Import. Crop or resize your image if necessary and hit OK. We're almost done! 

Look below the Menu bar. There are both Windows and Apple Icon. Hit on the Windows icon to create icon for PC or hit on the Apple icon to create icon for Mac. 

Now choose your prefereces regarding color and size. Then hit OK again. 

Finally save the icon. Choose .ico format for Windows and .icns for Mac. Have you got it? Please comment . . . :)
