I find these little apps extremely helpful and they save A LOT of time and clicking PLUS they're free. I would strongly suggest getting the following nice little apps. I install them on every machine I have.

RjH Extensions - (freeware) simple utility that will add a number of useful functions to the context menu of Windows Explorer.

AIRoboform - (freeware)one-click web form filler and password manager with some serious Artificial Intelligence (AI) inside.

PathCopyEx - (freeware) A very simple shell extension that copies the text path of any file/folder in Explorer to the clipboard. Saves a bit of time on all those annoying Browse for Folder windows.

Panicware's Pop-up Stopper - (freeware) best pop-up stopper around.

I have a few others but those are the best I could think of off the top of my head. Take a look at Shell Extension City for more of these gems.

Some great apps posted, another I could recommend is 'Peer Guardian' .. a great tool for blocking out authorities and other spam sites etc from connecting with your computer. A quick google search'll find it, I have .. no use at all for it though.

Billy is my current favorite app. It's like a stripped-down version of Foobar. It has no id3 support, no skins, and is lightning fast. Go into the community on the site and download the beta version if you need custom global hotkey support.

Avast, a great anti-virus software, free for home use :)
