Look like I'm going to reload my PC soon as it spat its dummy last night!! Its been 3 years since it was installed and has worked like a dream until last night!!

Being out of the loop for so long I've forgotten what I need so thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else loads up.

Please list your must have applications, tweaks etc for Windows XP :)

All my music (stored on 2nd pc so i can just copy it back over the network, no way i'm reburning 200cd's)

Anti-Virus
Winamp (need me music)
Firefox

Mouse software + button config (Good ol' Logitech MX510)

that seems about right. theres probably a few small programs i use and take for granted but that just about sums it up.

I also used to use an AquaDock which was handy but on my last reload i didn't bother with it.
