Now if you're using Windows 7 you may find the new Aero Snap very handy, but imagine it was more powerful. Introducing WinSplit Revolution...a utility that allows the use of drag and go or simple key commands (my favorite) to position windows quickly in a bunch of helpful places. Now you can position 4 windows in their own space quickly. This is a must. This program can also run portably to allow you to always have it with you on your flash drive.

Quick Media Converter

This is an excellent and easy utility for amateurs or even pros. This program lets you convert almost anything- WAV to AIFF, MP3 to ACC, whatever your need. The best thing of all, well aside from being free, is that this program has all of these features in one app. Very small installation for geeks like me.

CutePDF Writer

Posted by Chris Parkes on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, In : Helpful Utilities

CutePDF Writer is one very hand application, and it works much different than any other application too. It does what it says- Writes PDFs, but instead of taking a file already created and exported it to PDF it prints the file to PDF. CutePDF even shows up with your typical Ink Jet and Laser printers. You say print and it lets you choose the name and location. It's that easy, oh and it's FREE!
