Windows only: The free Microsoft Calendar Printing Assistant offers several calendar templates designed to provide attractive, printable versions of your Outlook 2007 calendars.
Despite our love of the software realm, we’re huge fans of printables around these parts. The several different templates provided by the Calendar Printing Assistant—which itself is a separate app altogether from Outlook—provide excellent options for anyone looking to pocket their schedule or create a full-size calendar of it. My Outlook install is acting a little wonky today so I wasn’t able to give it the full run-through, so if you give it a try, let’s hear how it worked for you in the comments. Calendar Printing Assistant is a free download from Microsoft, requires Outlook 2007.
Windows only: Google’s new web browser, Google Chrome, has officially left its beta tag in the dust, graduating to a full-fledged 1.0 release today (just 100 days after the initial release).
Windows only: TinyResMeter is an ultra-lightweight and spartan resource meter. 
Windows only: Free utility Open++ adds a new submenu to your right-click context menu with advanced options for adding virtually any function you could want. 
Windows only: The Digital Inspiration blog posts a tiny AutoHotKey script that takes away the email-ruining power of the most useless key on your deck, Caps Lock, and converts it into an instant-muting tool. 
Windows only: Free application Flash Drive Reminder wants to ensure you never forget your thumb drive again when you leave your computer. It does so by adding an autoplay option to your thumb drive that, if chosen, provide reminders in two different ways, depending on which version you download. In the standard version, Flash Drive Reminder displays a pop-up reminder as soon as your thumb drive is plugged in, then alerts you again when you log off or shut down (assuming you haven’t already unplugged your thumb drive)—perfect for the forgetful crowd. In the quiet version, the app only displays a reminder notification whenever you try to log off or shut down. Flash Drive Reminder is a free download, Windows only. 
Windows only: Free, open-source utility Winsize2 sets up a single keyboard combination to remember, and change, the preferred size and positioning of your Windows applications. In other words, if you hate how your browser opens up to seemingly random sizes, or full-screen instead of windowed, have Winsize2 running and hit Ctrl+Alt+Z (or, on some systems, with Y as the final key). That locks down the apps’ size and place, and hitting the combination again will over-write that preference if you like another position better. You can get specific with the numbers and delete troublesome entries from the system tray icon, which uses 2.5MB of physical memory on my Vista system. 
Windows only: Free application VirtualScreenMaximizer maximizes any window to every available pixel on your multi-monitor setup. Rather than expanding windows across all monitors, the default Windows behavior maximizes windows only on the current monitor. With VirtualScreenMaximizer, just hit the customizable keyboard shortcut (which you set by right-clicking the system tray icon and selecting Config) to go truly fullscreen. You’d think the app would only work on multi-monitor setups, but it actually performs an interesting function even for single monitors: When you invoke the maximize shortcut, VSM maximizes the app to the full size of the monitor, covering your Windows taskbar and hiding the window titlebar so all you see is the interior of the window. 
Windows only: WinWorkBar is a free, lightweight application sidebar complete with flexible to-do list, notes, calendar, and more. It may not look like much, and it’s meager 600KB download size and 6MB footprint may not sound like much, but this little sidebar application packs a lot of punch. You can customize keyboard shortcuts to quickly perform any action (e.g., show/hide the sidebar or create a new note or task), assign tasks and notes to any day or range of days (complete with reminder alerts), create repeating tasks quickly and easily, and automatically toggle the application’s visibility so it’s only taking up space when you want it to be.
