Best Free apps to work faster and more productively.

If you have a freshly installed windows computer or a descent running old one and want to add cool and awesome functionality to it, we’re listing 10 most useful applications to make your friends go WOW over your computer capabilities.

1. Everything

This is one of the best applications we could recommend! if you have lots of data lying haphazardly in everythingremote places that you can’t keep a track of, then “everything” is to your rescue. it’s a freeware. after installing just set a hotkey in its options so that it pops up as soon as you press it. Preferably, i recommend ctrl+shift+E or ctrl+alt+E , so that it comes handy. as soon as you type anything in its search box it will show you all the appearances of the search query in names of the files. and it all takes less than quarter of a second because it initially indexes all the files of your computer. pretty neat, pretty fast and awesome! download icon[13]

2. Launchy

  launchyThis has been my favourite utility since long, it indexes all the application that appear in your “all programs” of the start menu and launches it very fast. Just press Alt+Space and Launchy will fire up. Just type the first few letters of the application you want to launch and launchy will shortlist it and display. just press enter to launch it.download icon[13]

Again a free and amazing piece of software.
