This week, I continue looking backward, with a retrospective of all of the File Exchange Picks of the Week for 2007.

With this post, I am going to simplify this process--and hopefully make these indexes more useful as references. Specifically, I have skipped any Picks that refer to files that have been removed from the File Exchange, or to tutorial videos, or contest announcements, or....

You can read the original blog posts for each of these picks by clicking on the names of the files and following the links to the "Pick of the Week" tag. As always, your comments are welcome.
