FileRecovery completely saved my azz when I lost a 40gb partition.
Out of the 7-10 deep-scan recovery programs, this is the only one that recovered everything I wanted.
I'd recommend it to anyone, as whenever you accidently delete a file, it's almost always recoverable with FileRecovery as long as you don't overwrite it.
StartupCPL is a Control Panel applet, that lets you control anything in your startup (Including Registry).
RegXplor adds a "Registry" namespace to Windows, and gives you control over the registry as if it were just another Windows folder.
The guy who coded it is apparently really good w/ Assembly, and it actually attaches itself to your Explorer, it's definately a recommended download.
rAdmin is a really good alternative to VNC. Instead of taking snapshots, it actually hooks the Windows API's and gives complete control without a slow-down like VNC (I think). Unfortunately it's Shareware
(but it's worth the time spent searching for a crack).
nPOP is a Tiny 83kb Email client for POP3/SMTP. I don't know if it supports recieving attachments (I haven't found how the heck to open them, it definately supports sending them), but it's really good if you mainly just use email for regular crap.
NFO Viewer is a really good NFO viewer, which is much easier to read/open than trying to read NFO's in Notepad.
DevC++: Nearly all developers would've heard of it, but if you haven't, it's a really good Freeware C/C++ Editor/Compiler.
TClock 2 is a Start Button/Taskbar skinner, which has some really cool options and a small footprint.
XVI32 is a fast/easy to use Hex Editor, and with this Registry key I made, it's far easier to HexEdit something.
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\HexEdit]
@="&HexEdit"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\HexEdit\command]
@="E:\\xvi32\\XVI32.exe \"%1\""
