M8 Free Multi Clipboard
If you do a lot ot Copy & Pasting, or even if you don't, this free multi-entry clipboard program will allow you to do up to 25 Copies before you need to Paste, and you can even view the clips that you've copied. 

Spartan Multi Clipboard  
This is the Big Brother to the M8 Free Clipboard.  Comparing the Spartan to the Free version is like comparing a Maserati to a Model T.  Spartan isn't just a multi-entry clipboard, it's a complete information center for your PC.  I couldn't sleep at night if I had to give up this tool.  ($20).

TeamViewer
This Remote PC Access program allows you to access your home PC when you are away from home.  Let's say you are at a friend's house and you want to check on a trade, check your email, or retrieve a file for your friend.  From your friend's PC, go to the TeamViewer.com  web site, where you can initiate software to log into your PC at home.  (Of course, your PC at home must be running.).  Your friend's keyboard and mouse are now attached to your PC and you're seeing your PC's screen on your friend's monitor.  It also has a file transfer feature to transfer files between computers.  (Free for personal use).

Sound Clips

WinPointer 3
With this free program, you can annotate your charts with text, fancy lines, arrows, etc. 

Yugma
We've all been to a GoToMeeting (GTM) conference.  Yugma does most of the same things as GTM.  Except it's free, for a 2 person room. And if you want it to do everything that GTM does, like pass mouse/keyboard control, schedule meetings, and record sessions, it's only $10/month/20 person room.

jZip
A free alternative to WinZip, WinRAR, and other zip programs.

Startup Control Panel
This free program allows you to add and delete programs from your Startup menu, ie., those programs that start up when you re-boot your PC.  Unzip and run the install program and a "Startup" icon will be added to your Control Panel.  Just click on that icon and you can manage your startup programs.
