7Plus is an Open Source software for the Windows 7 operating system that adds many features to the system that speed up the workflow.
It is a tweak software at its core that provides you with options to change core Windows features.
Features are divided into Windows Explorer, general Windows related tweaks, window handling and misc features.
Some examples of what 7Plus adds are folder favorites in Windows Explorer, shortcuts to create folders, to paste text or image clipboard contents into a file automatically, enabling ftp server uploads with a shortcut, a clipboard manager storing the latest ten entries or displaying the Windows Task Manager when double-clicking on empty space in the Windows Taskbar.

The list of features that are currently provided by the program is accessible here.
The developer has created instructional videos that demonstrate the functionality of several of the features of 7Plus.
Each feature can be disabled in the settings window of 7Plus so that only those that make sense to the user stay activated. 7Plus is a well though out application that makes it a lot easier to work with Windows on a daily basis.
The program is compatible with most 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system. Some features are OS specific, this is always mentioned next to the option in the program’s settings.
The portable program uses between five and six Megabytes of computer memory while running on our 64-bit Windows 7 test system, an acceptable value for the wealth of features that it brings to the table.
7Plus can be downloaded from the developer’s website over at Google Code. Please note that some features may not work if you run it on newer versions of Windows.
Update: The program has been updated several times ever since it was first published on the Google Code project website. You can read more about an update that introduced 64-bit program support and another one that added hotkeys and Explorer tabs to the software program.
Update 2: Google Code has been shut down, and the program website is no longer available because of this. We have uploaded the latest working version of 7Plus to our own server from where you can download it. Please note that we don’t support the program in any way, and that we have done so only for archiving purposes.
