PCFerret, a free integrated utilities program for Windows-powered machines, can be used for several purposes: to view detailed system info, to analyze files, to schedule tasks and have them run automatically at startup, to play with ADS files, and to generate passwords. All this functionality can be accessed from a simple, user friendly interface.

PCFerret is compatible with Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. To run the application on a PC powered by any of these Windows editions, you will need to have .NET Framework 4.5 or newer installed on your PC. If it is not installed, PCFerret will offer to install it for you.

PCFerret has a tabbed interface. In the upper left hand corner you will see 4 tabs:
Welcome – presents the PCFerret version you’re using.
System Details – gathers and presents detailed information about your system (operating system, motherboard, RAM memory, drives, user accounts, and other useful info is presented).
Reboot operations – you can schedule actions to be run automatically when you reboot your PC (delete, move, rename files and folders).
ADS – from here you can play with ADS files.

Above these 4 tabs there’s a traditional file menu and a toolbar that lists three functions:
Exit PCFerret – close the application.
Generate Password – generate one or multiple passwords at a time; specify the parameters for generating passwords; copy all passwords to the clipboard.
Analyze file – select a file and PCFerret will analyze it; a File Analysis report will be presented afterwards.

All the functionality presented above is provided for free by PCFerret. Please consider leaving a tip (making a donation) if you find PCFerret useful.

PCFerret is easy to use, provides lost of useful functionality, and is free. I don’t see what’s not to like about it.

Pros

Installing PCFerret is a simple matter. PCFerret has a user friendly, tabbed interface. PCFerret displays detailed info about your system, allows you to schedule tasks that will be performed when you reboot your machine, analyzes files, generates secure passwords, and allows you to play with ADS files. PCFerret is free software (consider making a donation).

Cons

None that I could think of.
