Commands in Demand remembers obscure Windows tricks so you don't have to

Commands in Demand
Commands in Demand is a nifty little Windows app that lets you run about 70 different Windows commands and tweaks. Some of the most basic stuff it'll let you do is launch a command prompt, run a disk cleanup operation, or kill a non-responsive application.

But it also includes a number of hidden gems that you'd normally need to tweak some registry settings to get at, like the ability to change the transparency level of the Windows taskbar or desktop icons. The program will also:
  • Show you what's currently in your Windows clipboard
  • Extract icons from files
  • Hide or show your desktop icons
  • Open or close your default disc drive or safely remove a USB drive
  • Turn off your monitor
  • Display your system resources (memory, page file usage, CPU speed)
  • Launch Windows Apps including the calculator, Notepad, Sound Recorder, and Run dialog
