Fresh Format, What are some must have Apps?

[slick2404]

So I just finished formatting my home PC, and now its 'so fresh and so clean'....after favoriting beyond, downloading the new msn and installing office, I was wondering what else people add right away after formatting? Some of mine are going to be:

-Daemon Tools
-Madden 07!!
-Ad Aware
-Divx Codecs

Pretty much what you initially mentioned, these ones quoted, all your system drivers (ati, nvidia, whatever), winamp or foobar2000, smart ftp, and then other misc programs that suit your lifestyle.

I am a graphic designer so for me its photoshop, illustrator, bridge, flash, dreamweaver, smart ftp, gmail notifier, etc.

One cool one to checkout is the Yahoo! Widgets, adds cool custom objects to your desktop such as weather, calendar and so forth.
