FEATURES:
TrayPad: A Notepad-esque window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser
Rename and Sort the tabs so you know exactly where your notes are (Sorting tabs requires .NET Framework 3.5 to function)
If you program, export the selected tab to Notepadpp; even select the syntax highlighting before exporting
Save or print the contents of the currently selected tab

FolderPad: A folder management window

Easily access common system locations (e.g. My Computer, Program Files, etc.) with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

(SysPad) (A Benefit of this fix is that each user on a PC will now have their own files load into SysPad on launch of the program.)
