I don't have the email addresses of everyone who wanted these, so I'm
just going to spam the group!

Fixing Windows:
	CCleaner (aka CrapCleaner) http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
		Good for pruning the registry, cleaning up cache files, controlling
service start-up, nuking cookies and a bunch of other house-keeping
tasks.  Piriform do some other rather handy tools too.

	PageDefrag http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897426.aspx
		Defrags the page file on next boot

	General Defragging http://mydefrag.com/

Others are available, your mileage may vary, back-up first etc.

Handy links on virtualisation:
	http://virt.kernelnewbies.org/TechComparison
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines
	https://www.virtualbox.org/
	http://wiki.qemu.org/
	http://www.linux-kvm.org/
	http://pve.proxmox.com/

Others are avail...you get the idea.

USB support for VirtualBox:
	Install latest VBox
	Import the proprietary extension pack
	*** Make sure user is in the "vboxusers" group (they are not added by
default) ***
