PCWorld: Free Stuff: 11 Tremendous PC Utilities

PC World magazine’s big feature series on free PC software included this listing of free Windows utilities that includes everything from desktop organizers to apps for cleanly removing unwanted programs from your system to one that automatically puts download files into folders for each type of file.

Instant organization: Instead of clicking around in Windows Ex­­plorer to find where Windows hid your newly downloaded MP3 file, try DropIt. This open-source utility lets you set up folder associations for specific file types. Just drop files on the big target icon on your desktop, and DropIt will automatically whisk them away to their appropriate (and easy-to-find) destinations.

Stardock’s Fences utility lets you group various types of content into readily accessible fenced-in enclosures on your desktop. Cleaner desktop: Stardock’s Fences lets you create separate areas on your desktop to organize unruly desktop icons into a manageable system. Keep programs in one fence and Word documents in another, for instance, or group them any way you like.”
