AxCrypt

If you have some sensitive files on your computer, it will do you a lot of good to hide them from prying eyes. One way is to use AxCrypt, an open source file encryption program for Windows. Not only is it free, but in terms of providing security this program by the AxCrypt development team is very powerful.

Sigil

Sigil is an EPUB editor that works on multiple platforms. Even though it is free, the program has a lot of features that rival even those of commercially available software. It is easy to use and has support for EPUB 2 specs and UTF 16 as well. While most users will be content with the book view, it also supports preview and code views if you want to edit it.

Remove Empty Directories (RED)

Remove Empty Directories (RED) from JonasJohn.de does what all Windows programs should do, and that is remove empty folders when they are no longer used. This might not seem like a big problem, but the truth is these empty folders will, over time occupy a lot of space. With this freeware for Windows, that won’t be a problem anymore.

Freeplane

Freeplane is a free open source mind mapping application. This program, created by the Freeplane Development Team, has several tools for concept and information mapping. With the software you can take notes with unconnected nodes and you can position these freely. But there is more to Freeplane than just standard mind mapping.
