Hassle-Free PC: Smart Fixes for Audio and Video Hassles

Steve Bass

Save and Manage Your Videos

Want to find a video you just viewed online? The file is probably already on your hard drive, in your Internet cache folder. CacheSort offers an easy way to dig up all of the videos--and JPEGs--stored in the cache. This free tool automatically moves (or copies) files from the cache into folders you specify. The downside is that the application is a bare-bones affair; in fact it's downright geeky. For instance, it lacks an installer--you simply double-click the file, and the tool appears in your system tray. To view your collection of movies and images, right-click the program icon and select CacheSort. You can safely ignore Settings (it's an old-fashioned INI file).
