It is an easy program to pick up, and it'll greet you with plenty of information about your system upon first contact. Speccy, per its name, is mainly concerned with showing you details about your specs. Speccy is a tool to help you with that: an easy-to-understand summary menu about your PC's hardware and software, plus a more thorough view on all that, should it interest you. The ample data usually provided by such apps goes a long way to aid you in uncovering more about the components of your machine.

Software to help you uncover more details about your hardware does exist.

But what if you built it yourself, or if you're simply not sure of the components in your system?

Recuva has two entries and looking in the directory there are two executable files one called recuva.exe the other recuva64.exe (I'm guessing for 64bit versions of windows?) However both entries on the PortableApps menu just say Recuva (no telling which is the 64 bit version)ĭefraggler is worse, it has four entries, the two main ones (one being the 64bit version) and two others whose exe files are called df.exe and df64.exe (command line versions) All four programs just show as Defraggler on the PortableApps menu (though two don't have icons).Information about your computer's hardware can perhaps be found on various sites, by looking up its model number and whatnot. No problems with CCleaner and Speccy, but Recuva and Defraggler produced multiple icon entries on the menu screen. Downloaded all four of the 'portable' versions of these programs last night from piriform's site, copied them to my USB drive and clicked Options/Refresh App Icons.
