Don't forget Klite or Gordian Knot codec packs. CdBurner XP or ImgBurn. TeamSpeak3 (and skype, vent, or mumble depending on if you use them)

Btw for all those people with dual monitors try DisplayFusion.

thanks would have forgot of vent and TS3

songbird>all. unless you have an iPod then iTunes can be worthwhile

Start -> Run
msconfig
Uncheck all programs you dont want to start automatically. (Hint: Even when it says Windows XP as Program name you can uncheck it, it's just a camo'd programm)
