Some tools people probably don't know about which they should know about :)

Speaks for itself, it removes the hidden data from office documents, from the reviews I've been reading it saves a lot of space.

Windows "Find" sucks bigtime! It's so awfully slow and ofcourse I don't have indexing turned on. Yeah sure, taking up 50% cpu power searching my HD when I'm watching or reading something...

And besides that, I've never gotten the 'search-for-text-in-files' to work! Looked at all advanced features like hidden files and subdirs and stuff... Does this functionality only work on indexed files or something? :(

True I really don't know why they haven't given it a bit more polish.

Now often its faster to go with google then trying to find a local copy of a file.
