Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable.  Here’s mine.  Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week.  For me, util means utilitarian and it means don’t clutter my tray.  If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it’s the bomb. Many/most are free some aren’t. Those that aren’t free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and perhaps your money.Here are most of the contents of my C:/UTILS folder. These are all well loved and used.  I wouldn’t recommend them if I didn’t use them constantly. Things on this list are here because I dig them. No one paid money to be on this list and no money is accepted to be on this list.

This is the Updated for 2007 Version of my Original List and 2005 and 2006 List, and currently subsumes all my other lists.

Feel free to get involved here in the comments, post corrections, or suggestions for future submissions in the HanselForums. I very likely made mistakes, and probably forgot a few utilities that I use often.
