“Alarm me” can be your favorite time organizer as it is powerful, regarding its capabilities, and its user interface is great. Includes general alarms, repeating alarms, perfect Birthday reminder, Address Book facillity, build in Diary and more. It contains Timer and Countdown utility. Also it supports the “shut down feature” which means that you can schedule when to shut down (restart, log off, Stand By or Hibernate) your system.

ScreenHunter Free is a completely free screen capture tool for you to easily take screenshots.

ScreenHunter can capture a rectangle area, an active window and full screen. It automatically saves captures in BMP, JPEG or GIF file format, so you don’t have to stop each time and you can capture as many as you like. It also can save to Clipboard to be copied to other programs, such as Motion Studio and Word.

ScreenHunter has selectable hotkey capture (F1 to F12 and Print Screen), delayed capture, and uses virtually no system resources on standby.

Vista Start Menu is a completely another approach to the interface. In the process of development we were oriented towards how people perceive information and also towards the ability to remember the position of items.

All you see in the standard menu is a long list and you have to read most names in order to find the program you need. Vista Start Menu will show program icons that is why it is a lot easier to find the program you need with just one glance. Besides, the programs are arranged in a table visually divided into sections, which also contributes to finding what you need in no time.

With Vista Start Menu, you just open the menu and click the program icon. If you need supplemental files installed together with the program, just move the mouse pointer over the icon and you will see a submenu where you can find all you need.
