Tool of the Month: Retrieve Recent Files (and Apps)--Fast!
Not a day goes by when I don't need immediate access to files I've worked with in the previous couple of weeks. I used to have a trick: I would right-click and drag My Recent Documents to the desktop and select Create Shortcuts Here. (The folder is at C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Recent Documents.) But with RecentX, I can get quick (and easier) access to recent files and folders as well as to programs and Web sites. It docks practically anywhere on my desktop, and I can configure its transparency level. I've set it to clean up unused items after two weeks, too. I know--free is best. But $20 isn't bad for such a handy tool. Get a 30-day trial.
