I'm terrible when it comes to gizmos, gadgets, software, websites... if it comes along I'll try it! But, pretty soon they all fall by the wayside and I wonder what on Earth possed me to use this at the time.
Occasionally though, something comes along and it's so fantastic or useful that I stick with it so (because I'm still procrastinating over my "Managing Web Projects" series) I thought I'd share a few of them with you.
This fantastic little program hovers anywhere you care to place it on the screen. You can set customised keywords which will fire up the appropriate program, website etc. Since starting to use this I'm much quicker at loading new programs. For example, I simply type the word "morning" into Slickrun and it loads up my email client and time system login screen - brilliant!
When I swap to my Mac at work, I use QuickSilver (which is much prettier but quite clunky compared to SlickRun).

I came across the rather brilliant little programme "iColorFolder" today [via Lifehacker].
I have started using my Mac at work a lot more and found that labelling files and folders was a brilliant way of remembering what I was working on or what needed uploading. Now you can do this (with folders at least) on your PC - Yeay! below is a screenshot of a site I am currently working on, you can see the blue folders quite clearly so now I know what to FTP without having to scribble everything down on little bits of paper - Hoorah!

Ever copy and paste something from the Internet and then into Word only to get the hyperlinks embedded? You can removed them easily with the Macro below.
Hit [ALT]+[F11] to open the Visual Basic Editor
Go to "Insert" > "Module" and in the pop-up window copy:
Sub RemoveHyperlinks()
Dim oField As Field
For Each oField In ActiveDocument.Fields
If oField.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then
oField.Unlink
End If
Next
Set oField = Nothing
End Sub
Then click "File" > Close and return to Microsoft Word
You can now run the Macro in Word by going to:
Tools > Macro > Macro and then Run "RemoveAllHyperlinks"
You can do the same in an Excel Document:
Hit [ALT]+[F11] to open the Visual Basic Editor
Go to "Insert" > "Module" and in the pop-up window copy:
Sub RemoveHyperlinks()
'Remove all hyperlinks from the active sheet
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub
Then click "File" > Close and return to Microsoft Excel

I had a bit of a blonde moment earlier on today and decided that in order to get into a GTD frame of mind I should clear out my inbox... and deleted items. Great, then I realised I'd deleted two important emails with attachments I needed but hadn't saved - muppet!
So, "Restore deleted items or folders" to the rescue!
1. Click on the deleted items folder in the navigation pane
2. Go to Tools > Recover Deleted Items
3. Select the item(s) you want to restore to the deleted items folder
4. Click the restore button - 
Genius!
I've only tested the above with Outlook 2003 but I'm assuming it's the same for other versions.
Microsoft's notes:
- This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account. In addition, your administrator must have enabled this feature on Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 or later.
- Some items or folders may not be recoverable because the length of time that deleted items are stored on the server is set by your administrator. For public folders, expiration dates take precedence ....
