PDF organiser

Mendeley

I spent some time trying to find a PC equivalent to papers for mac- Mendeley is a great way of organising PDFs you have stored on your computer. It works similarily to how itunes works... you have pdf's stored somewhere and it links to it. It also can create bibliographies in word similarily to endnote, and although I haven't used this function yet I imagine it's pretty user friendly.

At the moment it's a beta version and free can be downloaded from:

http://www.mendeley.com/

You download it to your desktop. If you add a Mendeley bookmark to your internet explorer/firefox PDF information can be exported from google scholar amongst others.
