Awesome Screenshot

Mel
A screen capture usually does just one thing: capture part of (or the entire) screen. Awesome Screenshot is a free utility that takes it to another level. Aside from capturing screenshots, you will be able to share and annotate them. Awesome Screenshot isn’t that big, so downloading doesn’t take a lot of time. Learning how to use it is a no-brainer. If you want to share a webpage, just go to that page. Click the extension button and that’s it. The annotate toolbar provides several options for annotating pages. Options include adding lines, circles, boxes or drawing freehand. A useful feature allows you to blur information. Use this tool if you want to hide specific elements.

Notepad ++

Mel
Windows has undergone numerous changes, but no improvement has been done for Notepad. Fortunately, there is Notepad++, a freeware substitute. The software is designed for programmers, but even casual users will benefit from it. The easiest way to describe Notepad++ is as a combination of WordPad and Notepad. But it isn’t exactly a clone of both. One of its most important features is support for multiple tabs. When using Notepad++, you’ll be able to work with several documents simultaneously. C programmers will appreciate its line remembering feature too.
