It’s not easy to modify the list of folders that appear in the left side bar of File/Open and File/Save or SaveAs dialogs, until now. PlacesBar Editor is a free program that lets you add your own folders to the Places Bar. Works in both XP and Vista.
If you considering using the above program, we recommend that you instead go for Direct Folders. It provides quick access to your favorite folders and recent documents. Direct Folders automatically resizes every standard file dialog, so you can see a larger number of files.

To get started, click on the little down arrow next to your calendar and select Notifications.
For receiving SMS reminders, click on ‘Set up your mobile phone to receive notifications’. Ensure that country is set to the right one and type in your mobile number and click on ‘Send Verification Code’ button.
You’ll then receive the code via SMS to your mobile. Enter that back in Google Calendar to complete the mobile reminders setup.
Web2book is a free program using which you can make formatted HTML, RTF, LRF or PDF files from RSS feeds, Web sites, Project Gutenberg books, Wikipedia entries, Crossword Compiler crossword, Microsoft Reader .Lit files, and other sources.
Daily updates can be scheduled to make archived copies of websites and RSS feeds.
The first thing to do after installing Web2book is to go to its options (under the Tools menu) and set the output folder.
To save a web page as HTML file:
Go to ‘Web Page’ tab, give a name for the output file and the URL of the web page. Hit ‘Go’ button.
