CrocLock 1.0: Almost ready to set sail

It's been quite a while now since we started development on the (back then) new CrocLock application, so I think it's time for some update on its status. We've been working hard on SleepWalker in the meantime, and our efforts were not wasted in vain. The application was a real success on Softpedia (the only authorized source for Sleepwalker's distribution). Back on CrocLock, we've achieved sign ...

Burning Take 2

Hi there, It's been a while since our last post, but rest assured, as we've been breaking our bones developing the next generation of SphynxSoft applications. While both CrocLock and Magic Wand are being developed, we decided to give the good-old burning utility called One Click CD & DVD Burner another go. It is by far our most popular software product, but as we got caught in development, ...

Back on the Blogs

Well, I must admit that it's been a while since my last post. In fact, if I delayed this post for yet another couple of days, I could wish you a happy new year and happy Valentine's day altogether.

Having this as main priority prevented everybody else from wor ...

The old, already-implemented core technology will remain unchanged as of the official release, except for some minor tweaks to the Bluetooth sub-section. The Yahoo Messenger section is also subject to improvement. Until the applicatio ...

Programatically Disable the Task Manager (XP/Vista)

There are cases when you would like to have Task Manager disabled, for instance, when you wouldn't want your users to kill the application by terminating its process. This is a feature we have implemented until now in both SleepWalker and CrocLock and we'd like to share some high quality code with you. What's noticeable about the code below is the fact that the Task Manager option does not appear ...

Introducing CrocLock

Early this year I started working on a security application called CrocLock. Don't expect too much from such an application,as it is a lightweight, blazing-fast utility that allows users to instantly block their active desktop when leaving the computer for a couple of minutes. Given the short timespan the legitimate user is away from the machine,shutting down the computer proves to be inneffective ...
