Plenty of note taking software out there. Here's another decent one to check out:

Have a file you don't know how to open? Think you need an expensive piece of software to open it? Chances are there is a great free program that's just as good as the expensive one, and you'll find it here.
http://www.openwith.org/
Open With provides detailed information about most file extension and links to free programs that can open and create each type of file. All of us at Open With have found ourselves helping our parents and friends open obscure file types time and time again, and decided that this information was best shared with everybody. There are plenty of great programs out there that will cost you hundreds of dollars to do what you need. What you probably don't know is that there is usually free software that is just as good. You just don't know about it.

This isn't software, but it still works. If you make a folder and name it "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}", the folder it makes is filled with options. Rename it to something else if you don't like the folder name after you create it.
It's also somewhere in the registry, but I don't know the name of it...

Need some archiving software? I like to use Powerarchiver because it handles everything including tar files. It's shareware and a license is worth it. Otherwise, these will do just fine:
7-Zip (Free)
Filzip - This is free
IZArc - Free. Supports many different types of archive files
WinRAR (Shareware)
WinZip (Shareware)
