    LOCUTISOFBORED  I should learn to read the requirements now, as this sadly does not seem to work with 10.4.10.  (Version 2.0)

    DRDUL  Handy little app! I just upgraded to Leopard, and was having trouble with the "Shared" section disappearing from my Finder sidebar. No matter what I did (including Go > Connect to Server), I couldn't connect to my MacBook Pro from my Mac Pro.

    I noticed the new release of FinderClean, downloaded it, ran the "Force Relaunch Finder" utility, and voilą! The "Shared" section is back without the hassles of having to restart my computer or log out.

    FinderClean includes some other nice utilities. I like the "Kill Dashboard" one, as I rarely use Dashboard, and the few times I do I'd like to empty the widgets out of memory afterwards. I have no idea what "optimize" Spotlight does, and there's no built-in help or detailed information on the developer's web site, but I ran it anyway.  (Version 2.0)
