Utilities

I thought that in case my computer crashed I should have listed up all the useful utilities I have gathered so far. I have tried this before, but this list is more complete.

• Sysinternals suite (filemon, regmon, procexp, tdimon, tcpview, handle)
• SnippetCompiler (to do short-lived experiments)
  
• baretail (to monitor logs)
• CCleaner (to tidy-up my mess)
• ipscan (to get to know my peers)
• Reflector (to see how others do it)
• Google desktop extreme (find that lost info)
• Agent Ransack (what is the Windows search useful for?)
• ScreenHunter (screen snap-shots)
  
• HHD Free Hex Editor
• EditpPadLite (there are Notepad2, Notepad++, Crimson, etc. as well)
• IrfanView (renders all image types)
• Recuva (undeletes that important file)
• Ad-Aware (to clean up my mess as well)
• Toad for SQL Server (actually went back to SQL Management Studio, old habit I think)
• SQL Manager 2005 for SQL Server Lite (intellisense when creating queries)
• SharpDevelop (interesting, but since I have VS I think I stick with that)
• 7-zip (actually usually use the build in Compress in XP)
• FileZilla (when I need a ftp server in an instant)
• Gimp (to edit my Display picture)
• Picassa
• Firefox (to be complete)
• SmartSniff (to pry into my neighbors business)
• TreeSize (find that disk-hog)
• Launchy (faster and more intelligent then Ctrl+r)
• WinMerge (compares files and folders!)
• Reinlendar (nice desktop calender, but surprisingly hungry for memory)
• ForceWindowVisible (a must-have for people joggling between using 2 and 1 monitor)
  

I am no doubt forgetting some. Actually I am very often install some utilities that I think sound great and the forget about them :/
