Windows 7 In A Box – A Companion For A Windows 7 Newbie
Now that Windows 7 is gaining major popularity in the market, there are a lot of people switching to it. Although the UI will be easy for the people who switch from Vista, but for the ones who switch from XP or Linux it will be hard to get used to at start. Considering this, the author of BigDaddyDesign has made a small desktop companion which will launch all windows settings with just two mouse clicks.
This utility/companion is called Windows 7 in a box. This is very very useful for a person finding it difficult to adapt to the new menu style and navigation in Windows 7.

Desktop Media – Have Shortcuts for Drives in Your Desktop
This is another wonderful app I was able to find which helps a lot and saves a lot of time in the day to day life. If you are a person who uses CDs, network drives, RAM disks and USB thumb drives, this app can make your life so easy. This app creates desktop shortcuts whenever you insert a CD or USB thumb drive or whenever a network drive/RAMDisk drive becomes available giving you easy access to any of the removable drives which you might want to use on a daily basis. All these are fully customizable in the simple and easy options interface (see screenshot below)
