nLite			// simply best
total commander  // complete explorer alternative
Opera			// not perfect, but firefox memory leaking really drive me crazy
foobar2000	   // no better in windows
mplayer		  // I also like mplayer classic
SmartFTP		 // the only ftp client have good unicode support yet
flashget		 // pretty good. but it has been staying still for a long time
ghost			// saves lots of my time
ultraedit		// although I still think it's interface is ugly
daemon tools	 // foolproof & flawless

[Zxian]

Winamp

uTorrent

Opera

Outlook 2003

OneNote

PuTTY

WS_FTP

Acronis True Image

VMware

MPC

Man... why are there only 10 choices allowed? My list goes on for a little bit.

[TravisO]

1. Panda AV 2006 (best spyware & virus blocker on the planet)

2. Firefox (/w some essential plug-ins)

3. Winamp

4. EditPlus2 (my fav text editor & simple coder IDE)

5. Photoshop

6. 7-Zip (WinRar is lame)

7. Forte Agent (for Usenet, not the best app, I'm just use to it)

8. SpyBot (just as a double check, but Panda has always caught everything so far)

9. Visual Studio 2005 (hey I'm a developer!)

10. Nero (it's bloatware but still the best burner)

11. EggTimer (keep track of time on a given task)

I also have some custom reg files I use, one is a series of tweaks, the other is my IE search shortcuts (ex: by typing in the IE address bar "wiki blah" I search the WikiPedia for 'blah', I have made dozens of similar ones).

2. Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 -the Napster

3. Ad-Aware

4. Spybot Search & Destroy

6. Firefox

7. Cablenut

8. Shareaza (the best all around p2p software)
