Free mind mapping (and related types) software - Wikit
"The general policy of WikIT is not to deal with mind mapping software (see Policies of WikIT) because this is first and foremost a wiki about information maps and visual aids to thinking. It covers what they are, how to use them, which type to choose when, and how to make them.
But there are regular inquiries on Twitter and in forums about free mind mapping software, so to provide answers, InformationTamers have put together this list. We built this article, with permission, using the most complete source for details of information mapping software on the Web: Mind-mapping.org. Hat tip to Vic Gee who put Mind-mapping.org together and keeps it up to date.
Mind-mapping.org has a good capability for selecting software by map type and operating system (click on the 'Refine software list' tab at the top right of its web page), and shows the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to filter on price or choose to see only the free ones. This article is therefore a quick list to current software that is free or has a free option. It excludes applications that have a time limit on their operation, for example, free trial software or web applications.
"Free" here is as in beer, not in freedom, though some of the software listed is open source, so is free in both senses.
Of course a pencil and paper is always free - or almost. "

Free File Renaming Tools for Batch Renaming of Multiple Files (thefreecountry.com)
File renaming utilties allow you to rename multiple files in one go. They are primarily intended for bulk renaming, such as when you have a number of files and you want to add a certain prefix or suffix to the file name. One common use for such tools is if you have a digital camera that creates files with names like "img12345.jpg", "img12346.jpg" and so on. With the tools on this page, it's a simple matter to rename these files with a prefix, change the case, replace certain parts of the filename with other characters, and so on. While it's certainly possible to just rename the files individually using your usual method, the software here make your renaming tasks a breeze.

Download Freeware Programs - freeware.software112.com
According to Wikipedia, freeware is copyrighted computer software which is made available for use free of charge, for an unlimited time, as opposed to shareware where the user is required to pay (e.g. after some trial period or for additional functionality). Authors of freeware often want to "give something to the community", but also want credit for their software and to retain control of its future development. Sometimes when programmers decide to stop developing a freeware product, they will give the source code to another programmer or release the product's source code to the public as free software.

SpaceSniffer, find lost disk space the easy way.
SpaceSniffer is a freeWare (or, better, donationWare) and portable tool application that gives you an idea of how folders and files are structured on your disks. By using a Treemap visualization layout, you have immediate perception of where big folders and files are situated on your devices. Treemap concept was invented by Prof. Ben Shneiderman, who kindly permitted the use of his concept into this tool.
Start a scan process and see the overall situation. Bigger are the elements on the view, bigger are folders and files on your disk. You need more detail on a big folder? Just single click on it. The selected element will be detailed with its content.
Need more and more detail? Keep selecting elements and they'll discover their secrets to you. Need a larger view of a small folder? Then double click on it, and it'll zoom to the full extent of the view.
If you need to understand why no more free space is left on the media, keep following bigger elements. Maybe you want to focus only on particular file types... ok. Just type the file type on the filter field (example: *.jpg) and press enter. The view will react and show you only JPEG files.
