Very Useful Utils

Trucking about ye olde net recently, I've found (and been pointed at) some very useful utilities.  Here are the blogged lists I've seen;

Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tools for Windows
Essential Developer Productivity Tools
Austin Harris - some HTML tools

 

And here's my list;

Beyond Compare - File Content and Directory Structure Comparison Tool
FlyAKite - Make Windows look like MacOS
MobyDock - MacOS style icon bar
Microsoft Power Toys - Toys from MS for Windows
Task Tips - Not downloads per se, but useful none-the-less
30 Pieces of Essential Software
Remote Desktop Tricks - Again, not a download, but useful
Install multiple versions of IE
Forgot Admin password?
Some windows and filing utils
Microsoft's own Windows Internal Tools
A better Task Switcher
TopDesk - New ways to switch windows
Zoom effects for opening icons and folders
Visual Task Tips - Thumbnails for your TaskBar icons
Free tools - including pixel ruler and currency converter
 

If anyone has any more, please comment...
