Quick linkfest running down some old tools updated and new tools discovered.
Autoruns v11.21: This update to Autoruns fixes a number of minor bugs, including one that could result in a crash when certain scheduled tasks are configured. Microsoft Sysinternals.

It also fixes several bugs, including showing a small font when run after an older version, a bug in the restart-process functionality, working set columns not showing data, and again shows information about service processes when run from an unprivileged user account.

Wecode.biz: Alternative Flash Player Auto-Updater - interesting tool to help update Adobe Flash Player. The latest builds of Flash Player do have an auto-updating feature baked in but it doesn’t (to me) seem to fire off and find newer builds as quickly as I would like to see. This is an alternative that might work good on friends and family PC’s.

PST Viewer - Free tool to open and view content of PST files without Ms Outlook - Kernel Data Recovery. See also this review: Gave up Microsoft Outlook but need your PST file? There's an app for that - BetaNews. I like this tool in that when I recently had to carve the PST files off a nuked HDD to recover an end-users PST files, I got a ton of them. Rather than mounting each one to a working Outlook client profile, I just fired up this tool to inspect them with the user to find out which ones we wanted to attach and which ones were duplicates. Saved a boat-load of time. Could be good for incident responders as well.
