I hate renaming files in windows. After shooting 200 pictures on vacation with my family I end up with a folder that has 200 files names IMG_0103.jpg. What I want to do is a rename so something a little more meaningful – Something like Vacation_to_India_2008_Pic_0103.jpg. Doing this in Windows can be a pain. Renamer is a free tool that solves this issue. Renamer allows to change case, modify names, and remove or replace strings in file names.

You purchase the 500 GB 1 Terabyte drive for your computer figuring you could never fill it up. That much space should last a long long time. Then after a few months you realize you only have 100 GB left. What happened to all that space??? So you start to check all you folders and try to find what is taking up all that space. It is a long and tedious process. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easier way to find all those large files and directories? There is. SpaceMonger.

Filezilla is a great free and open source FTP client. It beats the pants off of windows explorer. I have been using it for ages and enjoy it – It is user friendly and feature rich. If you need to FTP files look no further.
Using Adobe Acrobat Reader to read PDFs is painful. It is slow and a huge system drain. It also is constantly trying to update a newer and slower version. Foxit Reader is a free alternative for PDF viewing on Windows.
