The daddy of all media players:

VLC media player

Well, it's gonna be some list. Can't be bothered to find all their homepages though, use Google for that.

HashTab: quickly find out hash values of files from the file context menu.
Convert: convert all sorts of metrics
Desktop Restore: save and restore desktop icon positions
SumatraPDF: fastest basic PDF viewer
IrfanView: very good image viewer/converter
GSpot: gets codec info from movie files
CCCP: very good codec pack without the crap K-Lite has
7-Zip: free file archiver with good compression, .zip support and .rar read support
CKRename: great file renamer
GridMove: organizes windows on (big) monitors
QuickSFV: simple SFV/MD5 tool
MP3ext: icons that display mp3 bitrate in explorer!
jane: best .nfo viewer around with MSI Console font
ImgBurn: expert file/image burning prog
Driver Cleaner Professional: useful when upgrading gfx/snd drivers

I hate IE so I use the best Web Browser ever: Mozilla Firefox! many add ons and nice clean UI

OBJECTION!
Everybody should know that Opera IS the best Web browser

Opera Web Browser

Fully customizable skin and buttons, nice inbuilt applications, great functions
Simply put, it is whatever you want it to be, and more to it!

Besides some already mentioned, I also use:

CCleaner
Paint.NET
µTorrent
FlashGet

Unlocker Assistant, helps when windows locked ur resources in its cache but there is no open program to close in order to release that resource.
this happens like removing flash drives.
VERY VERY helpful for me.

I can agree with that, i love that program.
Probably uses it once a day ( not with my own intention, but by windows

)

 

[test84]

yeah, it works perfectly by itself, waiting to catch a bug from windows and works very good at what it does.
reminds me of how softwares mean to be, and unfortunately, are not.

There's lots of obvious stuff to mention. Too many actually, and I hope these two suggestions arn't that obvious.

1) Launchy
Keyboard launcher. Turnofff the Foxy plugin if you find the bookmarks annoying. Other than that, install as much apps you find here and use Launchy to find them!

2) winroll
Rolls up your windows with a right click. Also supports transparency and mass winrolling. Btw, it's programed in ASM so it's fast and small. Only 32bit win systems.

DeskPins can be used to make any application topmost, that is, to keep it above all other windows. With DeskPins you can add this feature to any program!
