My Favorite Software List.
Some software I consider to be "part and parcel" of Windows. I can't live without them.

• IrfanView

The fastest Image Viewer.

• FireFox

I never use IE. Only exception is Microsoft sites.

• WinRAR

THE best compression tool

Lastly Notepad. Note this "normal" Notepad and not Notepad2. I like it so much because its tremendously fast and contains no unnecessary bells and whistles.
