Work organizer? Does software like this exist?

I suspect what I am seeking is very simple and I'm overlooking an obvious solution, but what the heck...

I've noticed that I have many software applications on my PC, and when I sit down to do some particular task that I've not done in a while, it's sometimes easy to forget which app I used last or which one worked the best.

Yes, even including paid apps...

The problem is more pronounced (for me) when talking about websites (say ones that generate misspellings, etc). For me, there's just too many to remember... especially when I'm not using them as part of my daily routine.

So I'm thinking there must be a software application where I could set up categories for each type of task, whether it be a type of product creation, editing, research, etc., and view a list of apps, websites, or even documents (i.e. spreadsheets/cheatsheets).

Preferably it would be simple to add new categories and records. And it would also be good if next to each resource, I could add a short note.

If I could get a couple of ideas, it would help me out greatly. And you would have my nearly-eternal thanks.

    To get organized for websites, I'd recommend using delicious.com You can save bookmarks from any computer and load them up from anywhere, great if you're not at your computer but you need to get to a certain site. Plus you can tag your bookmarks to keep organized. All browsers have a delicous toolbar for 1 button saving.

    Thanks for the replies. I missed them somehow... until now.

    I think Ralph came closest to answering what might have been a vague sort of question:

    some of which will even act as a control panel allowing you to launch various programs
    Mike, I will definitely consider GTAgenda.

    Kiloh, I actually do use delicious in the way you described, but it doesn't really address my need... at least I don't think so.

    Maybe it's just the way I work, but I tend to work on so many different sorts of tasks that I "forget" how to do them.

    For example, if I'm writing articles, I have specialty applications to mine info from Ezinearticles. I also have cheat sheets and guides I refer to from time to time.

    Each one of us likely has 10-20 tasks that have similar requirements, or perhaps more rigorous requirements. You might have not only various software apps but also online apps and services you use to get the job done.

    Anyway, you've all given me some great ideas. I'll see if I can make some progress on this over the weekend, and of course I'll report back.
