KeyNote

A great note editor and organizer that lets you create and store text notes in an easy-to-use way. Unlike paper notes and text editors, this application lets you take the notes to the third dimention: you can assemble different notes within a single file, while each note can consist of several notes linked by a tree-like structure. Notes can contain not only formatted text, but images too. Get it [here]

CCLEANER

A system-optimization tool. It removes unused and temporary files from your system, allowing it to run faster and more efficiently, and giving you more hard-disk space. The application cleans traces left by Windows, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and third-party applications. It will even backup your registry before making changes. Get it [here]
