Search your computer

This beats google desktop! Awesome program!! Download at http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/index.html

Launchy

Here's another awesome freeware mentioned on Bnet:

When I want to run, say, Excel, I hit Alt-Space, type “Exc,” and hit Enter — a process that takes me about two seconds. Contrast that with searching the desktop, Start menu, etc. for the Excel icon and you’ll see why I love this launcher. Anything that keeps me from having to reach for the mouse is worth its weight in gold (even if it is just code).

You can find it at http://www.launchy.net/. It's fun!!

Bootup faster

Tired of waiting five or 10 minutes for your computer to boot? Malware could be the culprit, so make sure to run anti-spyware software. But another source of slow booting is all the software that’s trying to run the moment Windows starts. Startup Delayer takes a clever approach to this by letting you delay designated startup programs so they don’t run until a bit later.
