Post Simple useful software...nominations?

The most useful software I have installed on my computer is:

The Google Toolbar - search from your explorer window. And the latest version even includes a pop up blocker.

What other simple, effective programs does everyone use?

ACDSEE, Image management tool, if you use a digital camera or have a lot of images to manage or edit its a great bit of kit.

Yes bluesmaster I ahve always used ACDSee. Its great for batch editiing as well and it keeps the metadata intact which is important when messing with digital pictures... Even paint shp pro loses metadata when you edit.

My nominations for this topic are WinPatrol and Lavasoft Ad-Aware great for stopping the unwanted junk that the internet sometimes throws at you.
