Great thread Rather than repeat previous lists here's a few I didn't spot (might have missed though): Smart Defrag - anyone know how this compares to Defraggler? (I like the optimise functions in Smart Defrag that moves commonly used files to the outside of the disk for faster access) Media Jukebox 12 - Does a good job of managing music. Including to ipod without having to touch iTunes MediaCoder - Transcodes just about any music format to any other. Think it also does video transcoding, but I don't use that
I would add MediaMonkey as another alternative to iTunes and Media Jukebox. Huge plugin support from a very active community.
For me it's : Freenas Handbrake Foobar Avast Teracopy MP3 gain XBMC DVD Decrypter Malwarebytes Adobe reader Chrome Samurize TeamSpeak
"Everything" the file indexer. If, like me, you have terrabytes of.. Linux distro's.. and you haven't had windows file indexing turned on for a long, long while, it's much faster and much nicer to use, IMO.
For me its not that much really: Steam, Chrome, Xfire, Skype, Teamspeak, CoreTemp, SketchUp (well its installed but i suck using it to quite stratospheric degrees) uTorrent, plus all the stuff like CPU-Z,GPU-Z etc. I feel folks that i must point out that it took 12 posts for someone to mention CPU-Z??? On this forum?? rofl!

CCleaner Defraggler CDex Free Sound Recorder ISO Recorder Crystal Disk Info Firefox Thunderbird Winamp iTLU Ultra VNC Shark007 Codecs (if that counts) For all those listing FRAPS. Having a crippled demo of a program doesn't count.
Samurize, didn't see it mentioned before but I have just discovered it and am having fun playing with it atm.
