This is the current version of TreePad Lite, introduced to readers, a year ago. A small personal database program TreePad lets storage of notes, emails, texts, hyperlinks, etc. into one or multiple databases. TreePad lets you define and impose your own structure using Articles and nodes - all data is contained in 'articles'; an article is a text shown in the right pane of the program window. Article is contained in a 'node' which is the most basic part of the tree (left pane). To find a previously created or imported article, you can either browse the tree, or use the internal search engine. Tree editing is easy, you can create any tree structure you want. TreePad lets you store all your notes, emails, texts, hyperlinks, etc. into one or multiple databases which use up much less disk space than storing your data in a large number of separate documents. Its Windows Explorer like interface helps to edit, store, browse, search and retrieve data easily.

BatteryCare

By using an advanced algorithm BatteryCare monitors the performance of a laptop battery to accurately record when a complete discharge cycle is performed. It provides detailed information about the battery, such as wear level, capacities, consumption, manufacturer, CPU and HDD temperature reading in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. It automatically disables the graphics accelerated theme in Windows Vista and/or demanding services that impoverish battery life. And, when the laptop stops running on batteries, the theme is re-enabled and the stopped services are restored. BatteryCare's notification area is a compact popup with the essential information like Temperatures, charge status, remaining time and power plans. BatteryCare can update itself too and consumes only a mere 0,1% of processor and memory resources.

The 1.2 MB BatteryCare v0.9.7.10 for Windows XP, Vista and Seven can be downloaded at http://batterycare.net/files/SetupBatteryCare.zip
