WinFlog eXTreMe

WinFlog eXTreMe is a small software application developed for helping you turn off your monitor when it’s not in use in order to prolong your laptop’s battery or save electricity.
The program is specifically designed for Windows Vista users. It works by adding several entries to your context menu for allowing you to quickly activate a task and customizing the middle mouse button (scroll wheel button). You may need to run it with administrative privileges in order to make sure the settings are applied correctly.

Portable tool

This is a portable utility. You can store it on USB flash drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. It does not leave other configuration files on the target PC. It actually saves the settings data on the storage device.

Clean feature lineup

The application reveals a simple design that incorporates all configuration parameters into a single layout. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can get an idea about the utility works in a short amount of time, thanks to its intuitive looks.

Configuration settings

WinFlog eXTreMe gives you the possibility to embed the following options in your right-click menu when accessing the computer’s icon: turn off the monitor, close Windows Aero, turn on Aero, as well as eject the CD.
When it comes to adding entries to the context menu which belongs to your desktop, you are allowed to insert the following actions: turn off the monitor, turn on Aero, enable Windows Flip 3D in order to preview all of your open windows in a stack without having to access the taskbar, and eject the CD.
Last but not least, you are offered the freedom to assign an action after the middle mouse button or scroll wheel is clicked, namely turn on Windows Flip 3D and close Aero. In case you do not need the aforementioned customization options and context menu entries, you can get rid of them via the tool’s interface with ease.

Final remarks

All things considered, WinFlog eXTreMe provides a simple software solution for helping you enhance the functionality of your Windows Vista context menu using a minimal set of configuration settings.
