<h2>Tools to sort, rename, and organize your files...</h2>

     Seems like the operating system would be best for managing your files, but this isn't always the case.  Several times, I'd want to rename a whole batch of files, or maybe I'd want to fix the creation times of my pictures.  As usual, the free stuff is always best - there's no reason to buy bloated software for essential needs as these.  Below are the best I've found.  Feel free to suggest more.

<h3>Programs and Tools</h3>
<div id="list">
Ant Renamer - Lets you rename a batch of files to either a pattern, date and time, EXIF info, and more.  Very light - does pretty much everything.

CCleaner - Wipes free space, especially useful for Solid State Drives (SSD) to boost performance.  SSDs tend to slow down after more files are written to it; this would "reset" the free space a bit.

DriveImage XML - Freeware for cloning/copying hard drives, if you don't want to shell out money for something like Acronis (a lot more reliable but expensive).

JPEG Timestamp Modifier - Modify the creation/modified times of multiple jpeg files, either by shifting increments in seconds/hours or renaming to the EXIF info.

MacDrive - Allows Windows to open a hard drive with the MAC HFS file system.  Program isn't free though.  If anyone knows a free alternative, let me know.

Raise Data Recovery for HFS+ - Very handy tool for opening Mac drives in Windows and either exploring the current file system or recovering/repairing.  Lets you browse and search as opposed to just scanning like most other recovery software.
</div>

<h3>Information and Resources</h3>
<div class="list">iPhoto Pictures Location - Getting around the abstraction iPhoto creates to hide the physical files.  Quite necessary if you're, for example, trying to recover files off a corrupted drive.  The incredible difficulty in finding this answer was rather humorous.
