GMail Drive shell extension

Here's a nifty little extension that allows you to use your Gmail account to store up to 1gb of files and access them through windows. I've tried it out, and it works great for transfering files to different locations (work, home, etc.). I know I was never going to fill 2.5 gigs of space with emails... (Obviously) only works if you have a GMail account.

TaskSwitchXP

Here is a great little app called TaskSwitchXP which replaces the standard Windows ALT+TAB with a new powerful one. I've used other replacements in the past, and this one is by far the fastest and best. For Windows XP users only.
