Free, lightweight utility Stalled Printer Repair.

Windows 7 adds loads of great shortcuts for switching between apps, moving windows around your screen, moving them to another monitor altogether, and much more. Here’s a quick-reference master list of the best new Windows 7 shortcuts.

Commands in Demand is a nifty little Windows app that lets you run about 70 different Windows commands and tweaks. Some of the most basic stuff it’ll let you do is launch a command prompt, run a disk cleanup operation, or kill a non-responsive application.

Drive space visualizer utility SpaceSniffer takes the mundane task of cleaning up your drive and makes it more pleasant with some impressive graphics.

IconRestorer not only backs up and saves your desktop icon layout, it also lets you switch your icons to a space-saving list view.

For some, downloading software is a daily habit. Spot, download, install, forget. Problem is, a lot of applications don’t have built-in tools for staying updated. Instead of checking each program-manually-to see if it’s up-to-date, RadarSync checks and updates all the apps on your system for you.

Update Notifier isn’t a new kind of software, but it is a rather straight-forward and simple one that seems to Just Work-especially in its support for portable applications.

If you need to prevent an application from running accidentally or would like to disable an application you can’t uninstall, AppLocker provides a simple interface to do so.

Tiny portable utility NiftyWindows adds a ton of features that make working with windows easy-so you can move, resize, and even roll up windows without moving your hand off the mouse.

We know you’d never goof around on non-work stuff while you were on the clock, but if you did, it’d be nice if your goofing off tended to (literally) blend right in.
