Everyone who owns a copy of Microsoft’s Vista Operating System is familiar with the Sidebar. Sure it’s great to look at, and I do love to keep updated on the weather (looking out the window can be such a pain), but is it really worth having the Sidebar taking up that valuable screen real estate? It can be. There are a number of genuinely useful applications that every power user will love. I will tell you what they are, and where you can find them.

App Launcher (http://tinyurl.com/39pe2n)

This nifty little device is similar to the Quick Launch toolbar, but allows better management options.

Clipboard Manager (http://tinyurl.com/22g4t4)

Allows quick and easy access to current and recent clipboard contents.

Mini Outlook Inbox (http://tinyurl.com/3yhm8y)

Those of you obsessed with checking their e-mail will love this feature.
