Here a simple command line utility.

BatteryRun - Run commands when the power plug is connected or disconnected.

Command line:
  BatteryRun.exe "<connect command>" "<disconnect command>"
Example:
  BatteryRun.exe "ding.wav" "calc.exe"

For multiple actions, I suggest making an AutoHotkey script.

I've wrote small utility for creating simple GridMove layouts.
It's main task to make easy calculating grid's coordinates (I was bored after making two grids ).
GridStack is a command line application accepting definition of a grid layout and outputing GridMove's template.

What I'm looking is pretty simple (I think)

A tool which pop up the user a browse dialog like this


the user choose a folder, and it generate a shortcut (on his desktop) and add the choosen folder's path to the shortcut

Example :

c:\app\app.exe path of the folder*.jpg path of the folder /someparameter /someparameter

Parameters in blue never change, they are the same for all shortcut created, only the red change

(I would also like to be able to specify an icon for the generated shortcut, but it's absolutely not a priority ^^)

Try DragLock

DragLock - Press the windows key to lock the mouse movement along one axis.

Features:
- Locks to the axis you start to move along.
- Rightclick the tray menu to change hotkey.

When I (seldom) go to Start > All Programs, or (almost always) Quick Launch (True Launch Bar) to search for whatever program I am in need of, very often I cannot remember the name of the program in question, or I cannot remember if I am in need of program A, B, or C - because I cannot recall their features!

All shortcuts have this tooltip feature, point to the link and a tooltip can tell you what the linked program can do, but very few programmers use the feature. I also forget myself to type in such informations, when I create the shortcut.

So, my idea is for some app to prompt the Properties > Comments to pop up, whenever a shortcut is created for an exe file. This way, when I find a new program that I would like to test, I can copy the description of the features, from the site, and when the program has been installed and a shortcut must be created, this app 'you' are about to author, will force me to remember to paste that description into Properties > Comments. And from now on and for ever I can merely point at the shortcut and remember what the heck it was that this particular program was supposed to be able to do.

This little app will search through a selected folder and
reorganize everything in that folder (keeping relative paths intact) into
dated folders.

need an example? ok:

let's say you have the following folders

c:\my stuff\something old (files in this folder are dated Feb. 2005)
c:\my stuff\something new (files in this folder are dated Mar. 2008)

Select 'c:\my stuff' as the search folder and you'll end up with this:

c:\my stuff\2005-02\something old
c:\my stuff\2008-03\something new

seems simple and useless... that is, of course, unless you have literally
hundreds of folders and random file sitting in that folder!

How does it work?

All files in the root folder are treated as separate entities and put into
their respective dated folders based on their own file date.

All folders in the search directory are kept in the exact path structure
as they sit in that folder. The date is determined by the newest file date
found within that folder and it's subfolders. Because of this, it ideally
works with folders that only have one level of subfolders within itself.
If you use this in folders that have multiple layers of nested folders,
the files/folders being moved to a dated folder will all be grouped by the
very latest file within that entire tree!
