#40 I am sure you would be most welcome to not bother coming back at all, I do not recall anyone being forced to keep coming back…

This is useful software for anyone who needs to keep track of their time for billing purposes. Unfortunately, The terms of service for GOTD prohibit the use of the software for Business…

So, WHY is it offered>?<

What a great application!! Works on Vista with no problems. This may help me be much more accountable in a home office. I can keep a record of all the websites I go to as well.

There hasn’t been much here recently that I’ve liked but I still check every day and only make comments about the software, not the offerings. I enjoy being able to try various pieces of software. They may not be what you can buy in a store but a lot of it is useful and I’ve bought several applications after using them from GAOTD. The variety of applications is not as good as it’s been in the past, but I’m guessing something happened behind the scenes and it’s out of my control.

Thank you GAOTD!!

NOTE: #39 James Brichen please don’t come here just to disparage the site. I have installed many of the applications from here and NEVER once found any trace of malware. I have put the software on multiple systems running both XP and Vista. I use a variety of software to look for malware and have yet to have any concerns at all.

I wish you’d offered this on a weekday so I could use it to assist in task reporting…

I was trying to write a comment but its looking tha somethings wrong happent so I try again.
There is another program who is also calling ameza, that is the program multiset also giving away here not so long ago.
As far i understand this program is that is recording the active window as far as the computer is not idle. Then writing it in a scedule with the time. The name of is the process name. Its very simpel.
I use ashampoo magical uninstaller to uninstall my programs, wich is free.
For vote on the comments with yes and no I have difficulty because or its giving 3 points or its giving nothing on yes vote.
Thanks GAOTD and for all the comments.

Maybe GOTD should be looking for different software companies.

How often do we see “This was offered back in…” ??

Amazing the thumbs up goes higher as the Game giveaway site did (only when it went to weekends only and people got scared it would go totally mind!)

Who knows,We might get something that everyone can use eventually like a Spam blocker,anti-spyware or something on those lines.

Sadly today, The old saying “It’s free so it must be rubbish” is true :-(

Does anyone actually TRUST software from Russia??

I will pass this one. Why do I need to know how much time I have spent on any application? I don’t. I’m a home user. I can spend as much time as I wish using any program I wish. Kiss My A** Winlog Assist. Russian or not you wasted this giveaway with your offer that few if anyone would want to use. I do want to thank the GAOTD staff for their efforts. I have D/L many great programs here. Please keep up the good work. Lastly I would say I completely agree with comments 30 and 44. Fubar does a great job at reviews. What White Rabbit is to game teviews Fubar brings the same qualities to the programs. Both are great and most of us look for their input.

#43, ALF, it’s actually pretty simple. Administration (under Settings, Options) allows you to delete the database (as I stated, there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete particular days, etc.) “Locking quit” simply disables Exit until you clear “Locking quit”.

Projects, accessible via Settings, Projects, and Settings, Options, Projects, allows you to create, delete, and re-order projects.

Right-click applications (not window titles or projects). Send To moves the application to a selected project or Default, which is no project. Run executes the application. Find opens the folder it’s in. Properties gives the file properties. Copy copies the application name and usage duration (as text) to the Windows clipboard.

While an application is associated with a project, it will remain so. However, I find that WinLog Assist may not remember associations when restarted or the database is cleared. Also, WinLog Assist can’t use window titles to associate different uses of the same application with different projects.

Double-clicking the tray icon will open WinLog Assist. It closes (to the tray) when you select another application. There’s a Close to tray General option. Right-clicking the tray icon only gives you the Show and Exit (if not disabled) options. The Pause button is only available when AutoPause is turned off. Autorun starts WinLog Assist when you log on to Windows.
