Windows Toolbox: What a Wonderful Windows Freebie!

The Wonderful Icon freeware for Windows is as useful as its name is meaningless. The utility lets you force a window to stay on top, put minimized applications in the system tray (the area near the clock), change system sound effects at regular intervals, and maximize application windows in a single direction (vertically or horizontally). And you can assign these and other chores--such as muting or changing the volume, and minimizing or restoring applications--to a keyboard shortcut. You can also put these functions on the utility's pop-up tray menu. If you've been wishing you could perform routine tasks with a quick keystroke, and without having to learn a macro program, Wonderful Icon may be for you. And you can't beat the price. Now that's wonderful. Go to The Wonderful Icon freeware for Windows to download your copy.
