Here is a list of software I use. <strong>'d items are recommended for anyone to check out.

ClipX

ClipX is a clipboard manager for Windows. In short, it keeps a history of your clipboard, which is immensely useful at times.

ZScreen

Although very bulky, ZScreen lets you upload screenshots, images, and files, minify URL's, and paste text with one keyboard combination. (I wish there was a light-weight equivalent.) Note: I am currently writing a replacement for ZScreen.

uTorrent

Magical torrent client.

Listary

grep for everything (except the filesystem). Also has a pseudoshell for Explorer (invoked with /). Trying this out; I'm sure I'll keep it.

Everything

Fast grep for your filesystem.

Launchy

Handy application launcher and calculator.

AllChars

Emulates the compose key for keyboards without one. Also allows for simple find-and-replace keyboard macros (invoked with /). Seems to have some problems with some games, however.

CCleaner

Wipes your computer clean of a lot of the crud which accumulates over time. Also scans for registry problems and is an alternative for the Windows program list to uninstall programs.

WhatPulse

Keeps track of the number of times I've clicked and pressed a key and how far my mouse has traveled. Cool to watch.

ManicTime

Monitors program usage and provides a full history of what I've been doing. Basically a ceiling cat.

ONAIR

Sends Spider's now-playing information to Skype.

Spider Player

A small audio player. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be multithreaded...

RivaTuner

Forces the refresh rate to the maximum where possible. I use a CRT and 60Hz is just painful.

Win2VNC

A VNC client which allows me to treat my laptop as a secondary monitor.

MyDefrag

Disk defragger for the leet.

ImgBurn

CD image burning software. Clean, simple, and compact.

MagicDisc

Virtual CD drives, similar to DaemonTools but without the evil.

GPUTool

Nice and simple video card overclocking utility.

Skype

Opera

Steam
