Top Software!

To get on this list the software has to be FREE and a useful tool for the technically savvy
DESKTOP TOOLS
	7Zip Why pay for WinZip or WinRAR, this has better compression, can deal with the same formats, and can password protect your archives. In addition its quite happy to let you work with .iso images.
	CD2ISO If you have a CD that you need to turn into a .ISO file (either to upload somewhere, or for use on a VMware/Hyper-V server. This standalone executable file will convert any CD/DVD straight to .ISO format at the click of a button.

NETWORK ADMINISTRATION TOOLS
	mRemote One of the best bits of freeware I've ever found! If (Like me) you look after a lot of clients, servers, firewalls, switches etc, save all your administrative connections in one console.
	WinAudit PC Audit and Inventory software, Delivers a staggering amount of information, which you can save/email back to the office for inventory purposes.

SECURITY
	ShrewSoftVPN A x64 bit VPN client that works with Cisco ASA (More Info).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR TOOLS
	BlueScreenView Great tool for analyzing BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) crash dumps, it will highlight what is suspects caused the crash.
	Unlocker Ever tried to delete a file/folder and been met with "Cannot delete Folder It is being used by another person or program" Install this then simply right click the offender and select Unlocker to see what's holding it, and unlock or kill the process.
