Again back with an useful tip.
Imagine you have to do research on an specific subject. To collect the information and have this well organised is a big challenge.
Quotepad solves this problem easy and effective.
You copy all information by using a shortcut key (default CTRL-SHIFT-Q, you can change this) and Quotepad will keep track of when and from which URL you have copied the content. Very handy.
It’s is freeware. You can download it from their own site : Quotepad.
I tested it on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit.

If I see handy utilities on the internet I will now and than post an article on my blog when I also use it.
The honor to be the first tip is an easy and simple program what exactly does what it promises. Most of the time these are the most fun tools.
The program is called ‘Timed Shutdown’. I was searching for a programma which could shutdown my PC at a certain moment.
Timed Shutdown gives you 4 options in the way you want to shutdown your PC :
- Countdown (For e.g., 15 seconds, 10 minutes, 2 hours or a specific time)
- Time
- CPU usage for a certain time
- If you are disconnected from internet during a specified time
I only use option 1 and 2. If you set the program your PC has to shutdown in 10 minutes, the program wilt countdown from 10 minutes till 0 and will shutdown your PC. I use this program on Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). You can also use this program in batchfile as it supports command-line options.
You can download Timed Shutdown by clicking on the link.
