Techbits #21: 7-Zip File Archiver

Here is a very good and popular file archiver: 7-Zip.

You might ask why would one require this when we already have WinZIP or WinRAR? Well, the first and major difference is that 7-Zip is open source while the others are commercial. The second difference is that 7-Zip supports better compression ratios.

7-Zip is available for download at http://www.7-zip.org/.

Techbits #20: Taskbar Sorter & Taskbar Shuffle

If you’re someone who is used to having the application windows in a specific order, like having Mail Client (Outlook) as the first window, Browser (Firefox) as the second window etc., then the utilities "Taskbar Sorter" & "Taskbar Shuffle" are for you.

While Taskbar Sorter only has functionality to sort/order the taskbar items, Taskbar Shuffle has additional functionality like the ability to reorder the tray icons as well.
