There are many small utilities available that can make your Windows system great, while using less than 10MB of memory. Here is a list of the best 10 apps that offer a variety of features, accommodating them into very little space.
utilities
1. RainlendarThis customizable little app displays a tiny, floating, yet informative calendar on your desktop, together with a things to-do list. The app can integrate with Outlook, Google Calendar, and other iCal-supporting scheduling systems.
Although the full app having offline Outlook, GCal and shared calendar support may cost about $14-15, but if you are always missing your meetings, or forgetting to do your chores on time, this could be a great buy.
2. Process ExplorerYou may love the Task Manager for giving you a direct view of what’s eating up memory or pulling serious CPU cycles. But the Process Explorer gets deep into “rundll†or “svchost†with a double-click, linking background services to applications, and pointing to the folders they come from. Although you may not need it all the time, but you will definitely love it when you’re trying to free up some memory space.
3. CCleanerThis cleaner goes through your web browser remains, Recycle Bin, temporary system files, registry, and unnecessary application left-behinds, just with a few clicks, cleaning them out, letting you save time and energy and freeing up some good space for you.
4. Revo UninstallerWe all wish before installing a new software that it would disappear on its own if you don’t like it. Revo Uninstaller comes to the rescue, scrubbing off an application and all its remains off your Windows system. It can also turn off programs that start up with Windows.
5. DisplayFusion or UltraMonIf you fortunately have dual, triple, or even quadruple monitors, both these apps can make a big impact on how your system looks. They can manage separate or split wallpapers across multiple monitors, and can grab and rotate images from your computer, Flickr, or other sources. They can also maintain the Windows taskbar across all of your monitors.
6. EverythingAlthough it may be much smaller than your desktop wallpaper, but the things it offers are much bigger in size. Searches through file names, it can find your file as fast as you type. Definitely an app you’ll want to right-click and create a keyboard shortcut for.
7. Taskbar ShuffleIf you want your programs arranged in the same particular order with which you open them, use Taskbar Shuffle as it makes quick swapping of windows easy, arranging the programs in the order you like.
