Apps that deserve Props

I'm sure this has been done before, but I can't find a reference to it.

What apps do you use everyday and would be lost without? By this I mean mostly useful utilities, not Office Suites, FireWalls or AV programs.

Mine are:

Clipboard Recorder
FSCapture
EditPad Lite
PowerDesk 6

Firefox ext:

Scrapbook
FoxMarks

...screamer

 

Firefox
CCleaner

thats it

 

Firefox
Thunderbird
uTorrent
Process Explorer

 

Hi, folks: For me:
Deep Freeze standard version-I can not surf net safely w/o it. And I do not have to use internet track eraser w/ its presence.
IE 7-May not be the most safest net browser, but reliable and is a workhorse for me. W/O it, surfing net is a step too far(although other browsers are candidly available).

 

I always feel lost on other computers because they dont have:
Totalcommander
Firefox and extensions (All in one Mouse gestures, adblock, Roboform)
Process explorer
FirstdefenseISR
There are others but those are the main ones.

 

Hello,

Not really lost - but extremely useful:

Firefox
IrfanView
Nvu
CDburnerXP Pro
VMware Server
FreeMat & Octave
TeXmacs
DOSBox
QEMU

TuneUp Utilities

 

I'll try to avoid repeats and stick to freeware

ResHacker customizing
Samurize graphic desktop
Drop to DOS shell integration
File Targets another cool shell integration
TightVNC w\ openSSH (cygwin)
HTTrack website copier
Bulk Rename Utility
Batchrun

 

SmartSniff
Autoruns
ShellExView
Notepad++

MSPowerToys: SendTo - copies the folder/file path to the clipboard
MSPowerToys: DOSHere - opens the current directory in a DOS shell Command Prompt
CjRAM - displays amount of Free RAM
InfoSelect - personal information manager
AZZ CardFile - address book/phone dialer
MacroExpress - Macro Recorder - record hotkeys/macros either program-specific or global
International Keyboard Toggle (enable in Keyboard Properties)
ScratchPad - Text editor w/appendable clipboard
MSWrite - old 16-bit text editor which will open binary files
Toolbar - systray app with shortcuts to Control Panel Applet Properties Sheets
XXcopy - Xcopy replacement
ZipBackup - back up files utility
IPAgent - display current IP address
IDServe - a type of WhoIs lookup

 

being really cheap my shout-outs go to freeware

1) Jetico firewall-the best. nothing gets through
2) aol active virus shield-kaspersky, but may expire in 9 months 3)sandboxie- so far. effective
4) spywareblaster-how can you not have this?

Also, A-squared, superantispyware, and firefox (noscripts)

 

Off topic post. No Av's or firewalls etc.

 

Can't live without:

Roboform
Firefox
FDISR
Ace Utilities
DOSBox

 

In no particular order (all free, some are only free for non-profit/home use):

7-Zip
XnView
WinMerge
TortoiseSVN
TortoiseCVS
WinHTtrack
SmartFTP
Ping Plotter (last freeware version)
Notepad++
Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool
MediaMonkey
Winamp
Video Lan Classic (moved on from media player classic as it has a great firefox plugin)
Free Download Manager
Foxit Reader
SyncBackSE
Gmail Notifier
Web Developer toolbar and google toolbar for Firefox.
Firefox 2
Xplorer2 lite
SQL Prompt (gives intelli sense to SQL Enterprise Manger)
Putty

Probably more I have forgotten.

Hello,
Irfan is fast, light and quick. I can't compare it to XnView, though.
