templify

If you're working on Windows, I recommend checking out templify:

You can read more about what it is and what it does here:

But the general idea is that it lets you set up a directory structure with subfolders and files that represents a template of similar directories that you are going to set up later.  When creating this template, you can pick one (and only one!) phrase or word that will be replaced when you use the template to create a new project.  The placeholder phrase or word will be replaced in both the file/folder names and in the contents of any files in the template.

This is a really easy to use utility and it is extremely handy.  Especially for web work.
