A Few Good Utilities

Need to keep track of these somewhere outside of my computer, so here they are:

Defraggler
www.defraggler.com

DriverMax
www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax | Free
Use DriverMax to back up your hardware drivers. Then, after a fresh Windows install, DriverMax puts all the drivers back in less than 10 minutes. That's much better than reinstalling each printer, scanner, network adapter, and camera individually.

DisplayFusion
www.binaryfortress.com | Free
Multiple monitors of different sizes on your computer may not always provide the best visual setup. DisplayFusion assists by placing different wallpapers on each screen, even a contiguous background across displays with different resolutions. It helps control windows, too, dragging them from screen to screen.
I'm using it now.

FireTorrent
www.wyzo.com/firetorrent | Free
Your BitTorrent downloader can be part and parcel of your browser. Though FireTorrent was originally developed for the Wyzo media browser, it took just a simple port to make it available to the larger Firefox user base.
