Essential Software...stuff you can't do without

I've just done a reformat,reorganised partitions and installed XP again & am in the process of setting up software.
Once I've got it all sorted I'm gonna make a back-up image, so next time it will be a piece of piss to do.
I hadn't realised how much sofware I had come to rely on for everyday use.
So what are some of your favourite appz you couldn't do without ?

Some of mine are:
Powerdesk 5.0 windows explorer replacement
ACDSee image viewer...I've had this since like last century
AVG anti virus.. free of course
Kerio firewall... free as well
Nero burning rom
Mailwasher
Ulead photo Express

I'm deciding what e-mail / newsreader client to go with and what media player/jukebox to go with... can't get a grip on windows media player.

so youre saying if i do reformat i should save it cos it might be hard for me to d/l at a later stage? why is it hard to find?

yup..the file sharing police shut down the development of it ...I think there is some kinda pay thing happening with it now tho..
