TimeFreeze from Toolwiz (Major Geeks offers a niced video on this program.)
They say that time waits for no man. (unless you use TimeFreeze)
Once engaged, anything you do on your system is suspended and fully erased (If you so choose),
once you reboot your system.
A great program for those of us that like to try new toys (Programs - Apps.) and never know what will happen
to our system because of the new installation.
You may also elect to keep changes that have happened while you're in the protected mode of TimeFreeze.

Anvi Startup Booster is a Windows application that can monitor and disable programs
that automatically launch during Windows logon. It allows you to quickly toggle startup applications,
services and network settings on the fly. Boasting an attractive design, the application calculates your
system boot time and presents an intuitive UI to disable non-required startup items to cut down on the system boot time.
(One click restore of any changes it makes is available)

WizTree finds the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive.
(WizTree only works on local NTFS format drives)
Direct download of the portable version, Click Here
(Thanks to Bill Mullins for finding this one.)
