nice list 

i use :

autohotkey : http://www.autohotkey.com

curl : http://curl.haxx.se/

imagemagick : http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Cool thread, but even cooler with a little example of what can be done with each of these tools. Either a downloadable alias file or just a snippet of code would be excellent. I've only just looked into creating my own alias' and using commandline tools, so some examples would be VERY helpful!

Bring on the Wiki!! 

Each page could have the link to the command, the description, the example, the alias to download.

most of mine a quite complex... (not one-liner)

but here is one i love for CCleaner :
^cc$

Code

CCleaner | "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO

just type cc then enter ... it cleans your browser cache, etc.

use it maybe 50 times a day

Nice stuff guys !

I have found one more commandline which is for creating virtual drives. It is nice and simple

http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/visual-subst.html

And here is the explanation from the author

"
You can use the following command lines:

1) to create virtual drive X:

  VSubst.exe X: C:\Path

2) to remove virtual drive X:

  VSubst.exe /D X:
"
and my alias
1000>>>virtual>->virtual $$1 $$2 | PATH TO\VSubst.exe $$1 $$2>+>^virtual (\S*) (.*)

Scanfs (file search, grep) http://www.saleensoftware.com/ScanFS.aspx

kartal curious why you use this over locate32, any features im missing out on by not using it? And more importantly is there a way to integrate results in to farr like with the locate32 plugin?

[kartal]

locate32 needs to index . Scanfs is a file search tool, althou if you want it has indexing mode as well.

but here is one i love for CCleaner :
^cc$

Code

^sw$

Code

SweepRAM | "C:\Program Files\SweepRAM\SweepRAM.exe" /s
