- PrimoPDF or PDF Creator - two programs that all you to print from any application and send the output to a PDF file. Primo has more options but PDF Creator is open source.
- MyDefrag - Does optimized defragmenting based on daily, weekly, or monthly optimizations.
- TaskSwitchXP - although a newer and prettier version is out, I prefer this one because it uses FAR less memory.
- Google Calendar Sync - so I can check calendar events remotely. The program only Syncs with Outlook, which is fine for me as my calendar software Rainlendar also connects to Outlook.
- Dropbox - backup your files and share them with friends very easily. Also out for Mac.
- Flashfolder - an excellent program that keeps track of recently saved folders and posts a bar above any save dialog to give you more options to organize your files. Awesome. Originally heard about this great program through freewaregenius
- Copernic Desktop Search - the only "desktop search" program among offerings from Google, Microsoft, and others. Note that this program gradually losing ground to portable alternatives Everything and SearchMyFiles as well as the semi-portable DocFetcher
- Send To Toys - when you right-click on an item and choose "Send To" its nice to have some options you'll actually use and the ability to customize them. Found via Lifehacker.
