What Cool software Do You Use?

Hey Teksyndicate,

after watching Logan's recent Foobar 2000 videos I was wondering what other cool and interesting software you use. I want to know if their are good substitutes for software like file browsers, hard drive defraggers, and stuff like uninstallers that are different from the conventional an default programs.

p.s. I know this could go into a different section of the forum but I really want your EXPERT opinions.

Use Defraggler for defragging. CCleaner is nice to have as well.

ClipX might be my most favorite utility program I install. http://bluemars.org/clipx/ Its a huge lifesaver!

I'm using Display Fusion which allows you to use more than one monitor in much better ways than with just the stock Windows 7 setup. It'll give you task bars across every screen without enabling eyefinity or surround. It also allows you to choose different wallpapers and screen savers for each individual monitor, and it even throws a button on all of your program windows that allows you to swap the program from one monitor to the other very quickly.

I think there's probably a few other options and customizations you can use as well that I haven't looked into yet. It just makes multiple monitors a much better experience on Windows 7.

Teracopy has been shown to move files a lot faster than the thing windows uses.
