Windows Power Toys
From MS:
PowerToys add fun and functionality to the Windows experience. What are they? PowerToys are additional programs that developers work on after a product has been released.

Ones that I think are useful:
Open Command Window Here
- This Power Toy adds an "Open Command Window Here" context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.
Virtual Desktop Manager
- Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this Power Toy. (I like the idea of the desktop manager, but in practice I can't get used to it. I now remember using it years ago, and one of my annoyances is still there: it re-orders items in the taskbar.)
