Visual Subst - Virtual Drives In Effect
Visual Subst is a small tool that allows you to associate the most accessed directories with virtual drives. It uses the same API similar to the console 'subst' utility, but makes it easier to create and remove virtual drives in a GUI way.

Close All Windows
This tool helps you to close all running applications with one click. It does not use system resources because it only flashes a “close” signal to all open windows on the desktop and then ceases.
Bad Application ;-)
This tool does nothing, it only emulates a bad application... It can only change process priority class and start an endless loop (i.e. stop responding). In addition it can flash window and terminate shell process.
