Are you familiar with the Programs and Features window in Windows Vista and 7? It's the place where you can uninstall programs and get information on stuff like the publisher, when the program was installed, its size and more.

...much more, if you use this tip.

So click Start and in the Search Box type "Programs and Features". Now either click on the icon the appears in your list or just hit Enter. The Programs and Features window will open up.

From here, look along the top of the list where Name, Publisher, Installed on, etc are.

Now right-click and select More...

Look at all those options! Just put a check next to anything you'd like to know about your installed programs like source, location, registered owner and more! Select what you want and hit OK.

Voilá

"Programs and Features" - Apparently I don't use Boinc very often! I guess it goes by how many times you open the program; I tend not to close it too often
Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

If anyone out there has lost hours of their lives to Google maps. I have a blast looking around, especially at street view, but I sometimes find myself getting a little confused at the mouse controls

Well, it's a good thing you aren't constrained to using the mouse, then! Try some of these keyboard controls in to make your Google map experience a little more keyboard friendly!

Arrow keys: Move the map up, down, left or right.

+ key: Zoom in (you can use = instead of + too)
- key: Zoom out

This is a good alternative to dragging around!
