Super anti spyware - One of the best spyware/malware/trogan/adware detection and removal tools I've ever used. It has saved my computer at least once (got a malware bomb hiding as a flash update, it wasn't pretty). There is a commercial version, but the free version works just as well (although it lacks auto-scanning).

Google Chrome - a free web browser from Google. I prefer Firefox, but this deserves to be mentioned anyway.

KeyTweak: A tool to change the key assignments for your keyboard. Useful if the manufacturer did something stupid with your keyboard (IE requires both shift and function (Fn) keys to be pressed to access Insert) or you just find something cumbersome.

TestDisk is an application to recover all kinds of mangled partitions. It easily beats all the weird GUI shareware "Data Doctor XP 2000" junk out there to the pulp. Posting this because it, once again, saved the day for me.
Also exists for Linux/Macs.

To consider: The version of Wordpad provided with Windows 7 finally looks decent.
Though, I love how it tries to look like Word, but doesn't split pages like Word does.

The version of MS Paint provided with Windows 7 finally looks decent too. And it's finally able to draw text when using zoom. But it is clearly not Photoshop.


Also, Windows Mail (aka Outlook Express) isn't provided with Windows 7, and Microsoft will likely never provide it anymore with Windows.


HD Tune is a HDD testing utility which can benchmark your HDD and find eventual problems or broken sectors. But it can't repair those problems.
IcoFX is a nice and free icon editor. It can convert images to icons, and edit various formats of icons, namely, Vista icons and Macintosh icons.

Comodo Anti-virus+Firewall

It's quite a nice free anti-virus program, but it's a little bit on the paranoid side. Also, there's more settings to twiddle with compared to other anti-virus programs (including paid-for ones)

It's Windows Mail, not Windows Live Mail.

Windows Mail is Outlook Express, and was provided with all the Windows versions up to Vista.

Windows Live Mail is apparently a separate program with much more functionality than Windows Mail.

yeah, windows mail doesn't exist any more except on vista. for all intents and purposes, ms has replaced it with wlm for windows 7 and onward. it just needs to be downloaded with the other optional windows live essentials.

WinSCP - Amazingly easy-to-use FTP/SFTP/SCP client. You can edit files directly from the server (well, that's what it looks like on frontend. Obviously on the backend it's copying the file, opening it, and re-uploading to the server every time you save.)

Vuze - Really awesome P2P client. I found a lot more seeds and a lot faster downloads. Plus, you can hook it up to your iTunes or even your TiVo, to send files to either.

NetBeans - Awesome, free, full-featured Java IDE. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it basically makes everything a project...

Eclipse - IDE for a variety of languages. Very useful.

jGRASP - Pretty good Java dev tool, provides syntax highlighting and auto compile/running. Does C/C++ also, and a variety of smaller languages.

Notepad2 - Really lightweight text editor. Provides line numbers, syntax highlighting, and such. It's open source too, so if you know C(++) and how Scintilla works, you'll be able to create your own custom syntax highlighting schemes.
(Note, just providing a description here since it seems to be missing one)

Google Chrome - Nice, fast browser that Google made. Uses WebKit rendering engine. Really nice - has some features that FF doesn't, and FF has some features that chrome doesn't. Btw, chrome scores 100/100 on the acid3 test.

You say that as if it's the only FTP/etc program that you can do that with...

Eclipse - IDE for a variety of languages. Very useful.
I know xpCynic had a hard time with both of them, and I've used Eclipse and it didn't seem that good to me. Of course, to each his own, I guess.

Google Chrome - Nice, fast browser that Google made. Uses WebKit rendering engine. Really nice - has some features that FF doesn't, and FF has some features that chrome doesn't. Btw, chrome scores 100/100 on the acid3 test.
With Chrome recently getting support for extensions (like Firefox), it is really now 100% better than Fx. It's faster, eats less RAM, and has most of the extensions that Fx has already, with more on the way!

Avira (Anti Virus)
Glary Utilities (General system cleanup. DONT RUN IT ON 7 x.x it doesnt say anything about it, but itll fuck up Windows7 so it wont boot)
Programmers Notepad. Kinda like Notepad++ I think. My best friend.
Windows Grep This handy thing searched inside EVERY file (limites, if you want it to be) for a text.
Say in a bundle of coding files or something, you forgot where you stored something. This will search not only txt's, but exe's and everything else for a specficed text.
HxDFriendly and free hex editor. (just in case youd like to add it)

OH, and you should add a skinning/customization section. I bet thatll make a few people happy. If you decide to ill give a handful (about 5or6) or links for the section.
