ntOne of my New Year’s resolutions is to be better organized. Thankfully, there is a whole slew of software available to help with that goal. This blog post lists five applications that can help with organization.

nt1. ACDSee 15

n

ntACDSee 15 is a utility that is designed to help you to organize your photo library (and how can you go wrong with an application whose name sounds like AC-DC). ACDSee can help you to sort and categorize your photos with ease. You also have the ability to do batch image conversions if you want to convert your images to a different format or resize or rename them. The software also gives you the ability to create PDF and HTML based photo albums or to create photo slide shows.

Tag&Rename 1

Tag&Rename 1

nt2. Tag&Rename

n

ntTag&Rename is a utility for renaming audio files or for making corrections to metadata tags. File renames can be based on a series of environment variables related to metadata tags. For instance, you can rename songs so that the file name includes the artist or the album name. The file naming mask is surprisingly flexible with regard to its ability to generate custom naming conventions. In addition, the software lets you perform bulk corrections on missing or incorrect metadata. For example, you could change an album’s genre from Rock to Heavy Metal.

nt3. Fences

n

ntFences is a utility designed to reduce the clutter by organizing your desktop icons. When you install Fences, the Setup program asks you if you want to create your own fences or if you want Fences to build some fences of its own. If you choose to let the software create its own fences, your icons will be organized in a more meaningful way. Of course you can always create additional fences, or modify or delete any of the default fences.

nt5. Post It Digital Notes

ntPost it Digital Notes is a utility from 3M that lets you place electronic post it notes on your Windows desktop. At first the utility is a little bit obnoxious, because it covers almost your entire desktop in default post it notes. Once you clear the clutter however, the utility is easy to use and useful. You can even use a combination of fonts and images on the notes that you create.
