Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report. TreeSize Free is freeware for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.

It's difficult to create tables in LaTeX, especially if some columns are calculated. Excel2LaTeX allows you to transform the current selection from Excel to Latex. Most of the formatting will be kept (bold, italic, border lines, multicolumn cells, etc.). The LaTeX code can be copied to the clipboard or saved as a LaTeX file, which then can be included in an existing LaTeX document using the \input command.

This is the ultimate replacement for the DOS dir command. It's small and efficient. You can see two columns of the directory listing and scroll up and down.

You can change between 25 and 50 rows (yes, in the text-mode) copy and delete multiple files and sort by name, size, extension or date without using command line options.
