Features: These are just a few...
Most important -
My ICE Plan does not use or need the Windows registry to
operate!
Have
you ever installed software on one computer but needed
later to run a backup on some other computer? That's impossible without
having to reinstall the software. You will get nothing but the famous "missing dll /
files" errors. That's because most (99.9%) of all software will register its files and other information
to the Windows registry. Therefore every time the software is started, Windows looks in the
registry for entries to operate the software properly. If Windows can not find files the
software says it needs to operate than the software is not be useable and will not
run.
Imagine
needing your
precious information in time of a disaster and can't
easily get at it because you have to use a strange computer (maybe even one in
a hotel or library). You will are not be allowed to install software on
someone else's computer. Even if you were able to, you would first have to
install the software then restore all of the data your entered. This could take
hours or days if at all. These type of problems is the last thing you need after
a disaster such as an earthquake, fire, tornado. You just want to access your
data without any hassles from the USB thumb drive or external hard drive that
you retrieved from a safe place, or took when you evacuated your
home.
No hassles with
My ICE Plan (also see Backing up your inventory or Installing ICE to learn
more)
Just copy
the software to any folder of your choice
and use. The idea is to be able to use this software "in case of an
emergency " anywhere and anytime without the hassle of
re-installing it on another computer.
My ICE Plan also distributes
a free media player (Media Player Classic) that does not need windows
media player nor needs to write to the registry to use it. This means you
can view your inventory movies anywhere and on any computer. Still Images can
be viewed within the software anytime.

- Powerful search engine: Search using

- Relational
database
- Data from each list is related
to an item once it is entered. Thus you can not delete a category or retailer
or location, etc without deleting all item records that used that category, or
other data from the Pick List. Thus it eliminates the possibility of deleting
for example the "master bedroom" but still showing items in that room. It also
means that correcting spelling errors in names is easier. You
correct the name in the Pick List and every record in the Item Inventory will
be corrected.

records
are only limited to the disk space
you have available.

aware) - Install on one computer

database.
