MagicDisc is freeware. It is very helpful utility designed for creating and managing virtual CD drives and CD/DVD discs. For anyone who deals with CD-based programs – it is a MUST. MagicDisc allows you to use almost all CD/DVD image without burning them onto CD or DVD in order to easily access your favorite games, music, or software programs
Ever wished you had several screens on your computer? Active Virtual Desktop is a virtual desktop manager which will create up to 9 virtual desktops allowing you to have different programs running on each of them. This virtual desktop manager resides in system tray area (near the clock) adds virtual desktops buttons here.
That allows you to switch from one virtual desktop to another with a single mouse click. You can easily minimize, maximize, close, move from one virtual desktop to another and even drop windows to the system tray using the windows manager window.
Customizable hotkeys helps you conviently operate with your virtual desktops and move applications from one virtual desktop to another. Active Virtual Desktop allows you to have own wallpaper for each virtual desktop.
Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!

VLC is an open source alternative that can play almost any format natively and for all those other freaky formats, you can just install CCCP (see below). It's really good, but don't even think about playing HD Subbed stuff (such as anime) because it won't work. In fact, HD support in this thing is sadly lacking since most of them either have screwed audio tracks or sketchy picture when played in VLC. Still, can't beat it for opening media files that don't need HD and it's really good with DVDs - In fact, I use it for watching DVDs over Windows Media Center (And I love me some WMC) because it skips directly to the root menu of most if not all movies.
CCCP is a project to bring a bunch of codecs and two respectable video players into a downloaded installer so that it simplifies installing not only a media player that takes advantage of these codecs (Yes WMP, I'm talking to you) but the codecs themselves as well. For the record, This is the ONLY thing I install on a fresh version of my OS for codec needs. I have yet to find a format this thing didn't have a codec for.
Also, as an aside, as of windows 7, mkv support was finally put in WMP and it finally does codecs right! Go Windows 7!
ZPlayer is my main choice for a media player. I use it to play all of my HD Subbed/Dubbed anime and I have absolutely no problems using it after I install CCCP. Of course, ZPlayer doesn't really even need CCCP. It has built in support for almost everything - literally. MKV? Inside. H264? Inside. It's all here along with a rather nice interface. The free version actually has all the important features and the premium version doesn't really give you much of an improvement - and i've tried them both. I recommend this to anyone as their media player over any other alternative (though VLC still has it uses - Like exporting).
This brings in the linux equivalent of virtual desktops to the windows. It's really useful and I love it. It also works on Windows 7 as far as i know. This version was made using .Net so it works on the .Net platform. Though for those of you without windows, there's Virtuawin I think it is, which has a linux version! (for whatever reason)
Okay, hands down, asides from Adobe Soundbooth (which is ridiculous), this is the best audio editing platform I've found - of course i'm a web developer/programmer so my opinion on that means nothing. Either way, it's got a lot of features and appears, at least to me, to be good for sound editing - though I still prefer soundbooth when I have it.
For anyone who knows what a Mu* is, then this is a Mu client. Don't let the name scare you away as it can be used for Muds and Muxs as well as it can be used for the mush format. Also, you really can't beat that it's open source and that it has great plugin support in several different scripting languages that each allow almost uninhibited access to any part of the program.
