TurnedOnTimesView wells you when you turned off and on your computer in the past (since purchase?). We have to report when we come to and leave work. ClipX a clipboard extender that lets you save lots of clipboard copies instead of one and go back and select one from yesterday or earlier that day. A must. there are also plugins to save to disk and for stickies for those phrases you use lots - you can also use autohotkey. ClipX for the less frequent, perhaps.

KeyTweak and RandyRants Sharpkeys Lets you remap keyboard keys. I find that I never use Katakana and Hiragana only input methods such as provided by the key to the right of the one to the right of space bar on Japanese keyboards, so I map these two keys together, and the Insert key to nothing or a mute button. RandyRants Sharpkeys does not allow the mapping of all keys on a Japanese keyboard. Key Tweak allows for a teaching mode so I think it is superior.

CamStudio and wink are okay screen video capture applications.

Google Desktop still in 2017 I am using Google Desktop on Win7 and Win8. CLTRL twice to make it pop up.

Autohotkey for shortcut keys to do cool things such as instantly add a html link to the url in the clipboard by pressing alt 1 and other HTML shortcuts for when I am writing html in flickr descriptions. Autohotkey Scripts
