This week we have a collection of new and outstanding computer programs that we present to you as part of the best programs of the week series. This group is considered the best among the programs tested recently, or specifically since the last post in the series. And certainly, these will not be the last new programs, as we always select and test to make this topic valuable to our esteemed followers, including programs that deserve to be tried, as what they can do may impress many users and also be desirable. So let’s now review what we have through the following lines.
1- Stardock Curtains Program
Stardock Curtains is the latest Windows 10 program from Stardock, known for designing professional and very useful tools that make complex tasks somewhat easier for users. Stardock Curtains allows you to completely change the theme of Windows 10. I don’t just mean the background and taskbar color; I mean changing the look of the entire taskbar and title.
After running the program, you can use the cool themes provided by Stardock or create your own themes from scratch by clicking on the “Create new” option, then you can save the theme on your device. The overall idea of the program is to expand the customization options available to Windows 10 users and give them the opportunity to give a beautiful and distinctive look to the familiar graphical interface.
However, the program is paid for $11, but you can download the free trial version for 30 days with the condition of entering your email address to activate the trial period. [Download the program]
2- Videoder Program
Videoder is one of the best programs I have tried so far for downloading audio and video clips from popular websites. It features a direct user interface that makes interaction very easy. It allows you to easily download content from almost any known website. After running the program, you can notice icons of some of the most popular video and audio publishing sites (below the search field), and when expanding this list you will discover that Videoder is able to download content from over 1000 sites.
The program does not require you to have a URL for the clip, you can search for its name, watch it, and download it in your preferred quality from within the program window. Additionally, if you are only interested in the audio, you can download the MP3 or M4A file from the video options menu. So I recommend trying it, especially since it is completely free.

3- USB Drive SpeedUp Program
USB Drive SpeedUp is a small program that allows you to extend the life of old USB flash drives by slightly improving read and write speeds. The program works by adjusting the cluster size to the maximum value allowed by various operating system versions, which in turn somewhat speeds up the flash drive performance.
During our test on a 4GB SanDisk flash drive, the normal transfer speed ranged from 4 to 10 megabytes per second, then increased to 12 megabytes per second after using this program, which is a slight increase. But the increase is not necessarily always slight. There are cases where you may see a much larger difference, indicating that the cluster size set previously was not suitable for the operating system used on the computer.
In any case, USB Drive SpeedUp is useful for users who prefer to reuse old flash drives instead of getting rid of them, and the program is easy to use where you simply connect the flash drive and press the Start button to start its function. But keep in mind that this process will erase all data stored on the flash drive, so it is advisable to back up important data before starting. [Download the program]
4- BG Eraser Program
As the name suggests – Background Eraser – it is a small and easy-to-use program designed to help you automatically remove the background from any image. If you don’t want to bother yourself with advanced programs like Corel and Photoshop, you can rely on it to accomplish this task on your behalf with complete ease.
Start by adding the images you want to remove the background from, knowing that the program supports adding up to 5 images at most, and then click on the Remove button located in the bottom right corner. Wait a bit, and you will get a copy of the image but without a background.
There aren’t many features here, which is to be expected since the program is designed to perform a single function. But keep in mind that BG Eraser only supports common image formats like PNG, JPEG, JPG, and BMP. [Download the program]
5- EasyShutdown Program
EasyShutdown is a program that provides you with alternative ways to quickly shut down or restart your computer, put it in standby mode, log out the user, or activate the lock screen. After installing and running it, a new icon will appear next to the clock on the taskbar, where you can choose the appropriate option from the menu that appears when right-clicking on this icon.
Certainly, the program offers other features, such as delay. If you want to delay shutting down the computer, choose Turn Off then Delayed Turn Off, activate the wait option, specify the delay duration in minutes, then press OK for the program to shut down the device after the specified period.
Another useful feature of EasyShutdown is that it can forcibly close open programs when it is time to shut down the computer, preventing the scheduled operation from being disrupted. It also provides the Shutdown Confirmations feature, which prevents shutting down the computer when clicking on the Shut Down or Power button unintentionally. [Download the program]
