Nullsoft WinAmp : an excellent media player. Choose either the "Lite" or the "Full."

Macromedia's Flash Player
iPix Browser Plugin
Compressed File Tools: uncompress or extract contents of compressed files.
WinZIP: An excelent compressed file utility I use everyday!
PKZip Reader Only: This is freeware.
To repair compressed files, you'll need the full version at pkware.com. I primarily use the "full version" only for repair of zip files.
WinRAR: An excelent compressed file utility I use everyday!
PS: Both WinZIP and WinRAR do a few extra things a little differently and a little better than the other, so I end up using both. Also note that the new winrar repair functions for rar files are supperior to zip files.
Other Tools:
Advanced Encode Decode Tools: An excellent audio file converter.
