Whenever you want to quickly access some common Windows features, like the Calculator or Task Manager, you will find that accessing this kind of tools can require some time, as you will need to navigate through all the Start menu options, in order to get to your desired tool. Fortunately, there is a small application which can fix this issue and which offers you access to some simple, but effective tools. The name of the program I am talking about is WinToolBox.

As its name states, this Windows application actually contains a series of small tools which can make your life easier when working with Windows. The application doesn't need installing and can be launched directly from its EXE file. When running the software, you will be able to navigate from a tool to another easily, as the interface features several tabs.

The first tab of WinToolBox, called "Programs", allows you to easily organize all your favorite application shortcuts in one place and access each of them with a single click. By opening the "Drives" tab, you will be able to quickly navigate to a certain file, folder or drive, in an easier manner than using Windows Explorer. You can also view all installed printers, desktop icons and recently opened documents with one click, by selecting one of these items from a drop-down list.

WinToolBox also offers you access to the most common Windows folders. Besides viewing the full path for each folder, you can access any of them in Windows Explorer just by double-clicking on the folder's name. But the functionality of WinToolBox doesn't end here, as the program also allows you to capture your desktop in several ways and copy the screenshot to Clipboard or save it as an image file. Included in the application is also a simple color picker, which can display color values for certain points on the desktop. This feature is useful if you have a website and you want to match the color of a banner with the one of the site's background.

Another useful feature is the automatic shut down mode, which allows you to shut down, restart or put the computer into standby at predefined hours or days.

Pros

All the program features are easily accessible, as the interface uses tabs. Besides that, it allows you to capture your desktop in several ways. Furthermore, it can automatically shut down or restart the computer at a certain hour or day.

Cons

The interface seems a bit outdated. WinToolBox includes a set of small and effective tools which allow you to work smarter with Windows.
