There are lots of programs available to launch any program at the stroke of a keyboard like Launchy , SlickRun ... Being a geek, my favorite is mimicking the system32 folder and launching all the programs from the command prompt. There's a small configuration that's required to perform this. Create a shortcut for the program to be used. Create a shortcut for Acrobat reader and name it Reader Create a new folder in C:\ and name it launch. Move the created shortcut from step 1 to C:\launch. Add the path variable. Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables Select Path from System Variables and Edit. In the Edit System Variable enter the folder path. Goto Start -> Run and enter the Reader to open Acrobat reader.

SyncToy v2.0 is a free tool from Microsoft which is currently in beta. This provides a very easy to use GUI for automating the synchronization of files and folders. There's a small configuration that has to be performed after the installation. Creating the folder pair and assigning the folders for both the left and right folders. We can create multiple folder pairs for synchronizing between different folders/systems. The whole GUI is very intuitive to use. SyncToy provides 3 types of synchronization. Synchronize : New and updated files are copied both ways. Renames and deletes on either side are repeated on the other. Echo : New and updated files are copied from left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right. Contribute : New and updated files are copied from left to right. Renames on the left are repeated on the right, but no deletions.
