Visual Subst is a small tool that allows you to associate the most accessed directories with virtual drives. It uses an API similar to the console ''subst'' utility, but makes it easier to create and remove virtual drives in a GUI way. Using virtual drives, you will be able to turn a long path (D:\My Documents\My Projects\) into just one drive letter (X:). It may be very useful when working with deep folder hierarchies as well as when working with projects copied from another system.

Hidden Start

Console applications and batch scripts are regularly run at Windows startup and in schedule. The main inconvenience of this is that every application creates a new console window which flickers on the screen. Hidden Start (or Hstart) is a small startup manager that allows console applications and batch files to be started without any windows in the background. Hstart is very small (~12 Kb), but it allows you to: - start multiple applications in the specified order synchronously; - start console applications without any windows in the background; - set the working directory and priority class of the created processes; - handle UAC privilege elevation under Windows Vista; - show simple messages after command execution.
