The first things to get installed on my boxes are: Firefox Notepad++ 7zip Mremote WinDirStat PStools Winrar Ultramon Snagit UltraISO
There are a few others that I can't remember but they are the main ones, I use the last 4 so much that they were worth buying. I tried Terminals but didn't like it for some reason that I can't now remember, I think mremote had an issue on W7 x64 which was why I was looking.

Insofar as tracking technical documents, problem fixes and handy utilities, I find that a copy of my own browser with the Sync Add-In is absolutely invaluable, and without it the pooch would be proverbially screwed. (it's also really cool how FF Sync tracks your browsing history from machine to machine, really handy when I am hot-desking and fancy reading the sports news!) I also find MRemote ( www.mremote.org<http://www.mremote.org>) second-to-none in terms of managing connections, RDP, ICA, SSH, VNC and http all supported, and I take that from position to position. > > Just curious what other things sys admins find they couldn't imagine being without, hopefully might find some other invaluable utilities out there. > > Cheers, > > > > JRR > > -- > "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
