  1. HoeKey - Make use of that Windows key and many other key combos. Here are my keys combinations.
  2. PureText (Strips away formating when you paste using Winkey-V) As there is no install,
    1. Copy to the directory of your choice
    2. Start the program and it will appear as a PT icon on your system tray
    3. Right click the icon and choose options
    4. Check the box to "Automatically run PureText each time...."
  3. Araxis Merge 64-bit - Best diff tool I have ever found. (disable Ribbon Interface, check do not show splash window, add folder filter to ignore .svn folders and make the default encoding UTF-8 No BOM). DetalWalker looks promising and cheaper.
  4. Metapad - almost as tiny and fast as notepad but with unlimited undo's and a couple of other nice features
  5. Quick SFV 64-bit (use md5 or sfv files to ensure integrity during transport of files)
  6. EMEditor (good with distinguishing and using UTF-8, ISO ect.. fast, light with text highlighting)
  7. WinRar 64-bit - better than winzip (does all the same stuff with zip files) plus allows you to create self-extracting splittable files and has a superior compression format called rar.
  8. Erase - with a right-click you can securely delete or move confidential file
    1. Disable running of scheduled tasks
  9. VMWare Workstation - allows you to virtualize operating systems. If you do not know what this means you are missing out.
  10. Any Password - centralize your passwords. Now I am looking at an open source alternative called KeePass which I can hopefully hook up to an application server and make online. Even more ideal, I can perhaps hook up KeePass with a java web app with 2-Factor authentication.
  11. AntiVirus I use different ones on different computers. As a power user I disable the on the fly scanning to conserve cpu and memory.
    1. Avira Personal Edition - has highest detection rate but has pop-up advertisement. Though it can be disabled, I actually recommend buying a license.
    2. Avast Home Edition - Recommended by Dickson. Very good but I don't like having to renew my keys every once in a while.
    3. AVG - Free version does not check for malware.
  12. Telnet - you actually have to go into Windows 7 and install this manually.
