Actually, this one CAN be useful to the home user when the user has a home network. I have 5 machines at home with a lot of shares. Makes it nice to see what machine has files opened and when the kids are sniffing around (and visa-versa :) )
I would say go for it. And yes, I am SURE there are free utils to do this, but so is this one (today!)
Snag....

Installed and ran fine on Vista and Win 7. Interface easy, good logging. Even tracks VMWare shared folders.
Solved the 'mystery of the disappearing drive space' in the first 10 minutes: Seems the wife was storing things on my laptop 'just in case' she may need them if her machine broke down.

Overall, good program. Don't need to be a techi to run it and know whats going on.

You should uninstall the 1.0 version prior to installing 1.1. It does have a few improvements. It still checks for updates, sending the registration name and key, and the version. I can't think of a reason why Vista users would need this, as you can control access to shared folders per-user, and the Computer Management, Shared Folders view gives you current status.

Agnitum released a new version of Outpost this weekend, it has a number of fixes, and the Security Suite is back to being tied for first with Online Armor (paid, not the free version) on the Matousec Firewall Challenge. Note that Agnitum's current deal isn't as good as the earlier offer; it's for the Firewall, not the Security Suite (I very strongly recommend the Security Suite).

Hi, normally I don't write a comment when I have not installed the GOTD, however today I have to answer two "reviewers" who too haven't anything written about the tool.
@ #21 ww2vet56 and @ #22 A :
Both of you are right and are not right regarding the comments. Some commentators are gone others have joined the community. It is ridiculous to quote numbers of a pseudo statistic as if this would be of any evidence. "9 of 10 quality comment posters have left" and how many have joined? Sometimes "Real Live" forces people to change their habits.
None of the users who posts a review are somehow affiliated with GOTD or GGOTD,there is no "dedicated professional reviewer", all of them are volunteers just as the moderators and administrators of the Forums. And as WitheRabbit aka Stephen. He posts the free games he has found in the WWW when he will, when his computers will, when the telecom will, when the sun is shining or the snow falls in thick flakes. He is the "Guru" of the games community with a lot of "co-gamers" who posts games as well. These activities have nothing to do with the quality of the daily Giveaways. Only with a great love to games and with the joy at sharing their treasures.
