A couple of freeware or cheap high productivity tools if you're stuck in windows =)

1. Launchy - launch any application with a keystroke
2. BBLean - replace the boring shell with a port of blackbox from *nix
3. Lookout - fast search in outlook
4. Servant Salamander - powerful 2 pane file manager
5. Winmerge - merge and diff tool
6. Kitty - replacement for putty
7. Vim or Textpad for basic file editing
8. Corkscrew for ssh tunneling through your http proxy at work :)

There's probably others that I use which I can't remember off the top of my head but these are my favorites.
