TraySaver
TraySaver is a program for people that have a system tray that extends halfway across the taskbar...or anyone that has a quite a few icons in their system tray. TraySaver, once started up, hides selected icons but keeps them running, so you still have all the programs running in the system tray, but with a smaller tray!
WinGO Folder Alias
WinGO Folder Alias is another cool little program that saves you 1000's of mouse clicks. WinGO resides in your system tray. Right-click on the roadside icon, go to properties, add the folders you visit most into the list and click OK. Now all you have to do to access those folders is left click on the icon and select one of the folders. Pretty nifty eh?
Change Folder Icons
Pretty self-explanitory. All you have to do is select a folder, search your computer for some icons, select the icon you want to use, hit Apply. You can change any folder's icon from the Windows file up to the Control Panel. You don't have to select folder icons either. You can have your Windows folder have the IE logo if you want.
Clipomatic
This program is quite a nifty little thing. You know when you copy something to be pasted into a word processor, etc and then you go and copy something else, realizing you just got rid of the info you needed to paste? Well, this cool program, is like 10 clipboards in 1. You can have up to a total of 10 things on your clipboard. By pressing Ctrl + V, it pastes the most recent thing you copied, but if you press Alt + Ctrl + V it brings up a menu (like when you right-click your mouse) with all the things you have copied, allowing you to select what you want.
