 | Download PowerBlock Requires Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) or later
| PowerBlock intercepts and ignores presses of the power button and optionally runs an AppleScript. This is handy on the MacBook Air where the power button is now a key on the keyboard and can be accidentally pressed. By running an AppleScript when the power button is pressed, you can setup your system to immediately shutdown, restart, sleep, or eject a DVD when the power button is pressed. This is great for headless servers. Known Limitations: PowerBlock does NOT prevent a hard shutdown if you hold the power button for more than 4 seconds. |
 | Download FinderMinder Requires Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) or later
| FinderMinder allows you to specify where (position) and what size you want newly opened Finder windows to appear. The default Finder behavior is to remember the last position and size for every window, but this can be frustrating if you already know where you want every window to appear (for example, centered at 800x600). FinderMinder must be running for window reposition and resize to take place. Known Issues: Resizes windows opened from DMGs, which are usually setup to be a specific size. |
