Windows 7 tool no. 1: Evernote
This tool is one that even Mac users appreciate. The last few weeks I've been using Evernote notes. I have brought it to the Microsoft campus the last MVP Summit, for example, CEO Steve Ballmer Keynote and mentioned also note applications. OneNote is the most important Microsoft app for this purpose, so it is funny that the guy has been like Microsoft Evernote-flag.

I first discovered Evernote on my Android smartphone and found it, it gives me easily add recorded sound, pictures, and videos, then my notes are synchronized, they are on my laptop to the hotel and my PC at home. In fact, you can capture anything in quite a lot of the see or listen to the notes on the accounts, then use notes, almost all of the computer, smartphone, and on the Tablet PC: Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and so on. And notes are searchable. Good work!

Windows 7 tool no. 2: easy to copy the file in the Finder
How many copies of the same image, file, or video, you have a PC? In my case there must be two or three copies of some of the items, but I have no idea if additional properties are. I am also afraid if you delete it in one place, at a later date, you will see that the only copy of this was my file, so you need more copies. I also have copies of one external drive after another because of the need to have backup copies. Easy to copy the file in the Finder, locate all of them quickly and you can solve them easily and safely.

Although free, consider instead, the $ 99 Professional DataStor n Desktop protection 2010, which backs up your desktop and external deduplicates and mapped drives.

Windows 7 tool no. 3: FastStone photo Resizer
When you transfer pictures from your camera, do I know if I could (and should) them, but you do not do so in a lot of time. FastStone Photo Resizer I rename and resize pictures. Plus, add watermark and text, as well as crop, rotate and change the color depth of images.

If you want to simply the files again, try using File Renamer Basic instead.

Windows 7 tool no. 7: AllMyApps
