Scott Hanselman has posted his Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tools List. It's very heavy on .NET stuff, but there's some good things in there even for us old-fashioned types. I found:

  • Autoruns, for finding all the auto-started stuff on your Windows machine.
  • Whiteboard Photo, an impressively single-minded utility, which converts photos of whiteboards into useful images.
  • BgInfo, which makes desktop images full of useful system information.
  • DxRuler, another screen measurement utility.

Great link Ned, thanks! My must-haves include:

- NotesPeek (no idea who coded that :-P )
- Pixie (http://www.nattyware.com): grab those colours!
- TextPad (OK, a fully-fledged app rather than a utility, but so cheap! http://www.textpad.com)
- BBEdit (ditto, but on a proper platform: http://www.barebones.com)
