Must-have FREEware apps?

If you had to re-install MS Win xxxx today, what FREEware apps are mandatory installs on your PC?

Here's mine:

ZoneAlarm
GetRight
WinAmp
WowThing (plugin for WinAmp)

Let's hear yours!

those are the few must haves on clean installs that need to be installed. other than all the instant messenging apps.

dude i seriously don't think ZoneAlarm is free, that's PROBABLY why it asks for a registration key when you install it....
