Notepad++: is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages
TeamViewer: TeamViewer is a tool that let's you connect to a remote computer which is also running TeamViewer and offer remote support. Quite handy, lot's of functions. I've been using it since it came out, and haven't looked back since.
IrfanView: is a tool that I use to resize photos, save screenshots etc. Small and useful.
VLC: is a media player that can play almost anything, even RAR'ed movie chunks and damaged files. Very useful if you don't like installing codecs and that kind of crap.

TED: Torrent episode downloader - does exactly what it's names states
ShutDown Timer: ever wanted to lay down, watch a movie and fall asleep without worrying about your computer being turned on all night. With shutdown timer you set the timer and that's it. Your computer turns off after the set amount of time.
Well, these are my most used applications at the moment.
