List of developer tools

One of my colleagues has remarked on my array of handy free tools that help with development, and life in general. So, here's what I use, and why:

• Reflector. For viewing the source code of assemblies, and checking the version of referenced assemblies.
• Less MSIérables. View the contents of an installer or merge module. I've changed it so the files are in alphabetic order, and highlighted duplicate files (a common problem for me).
• Notepad2. Like notepad, only with syntax colouring, word wrap and other good stuff.
• World's 2nd simplest code generator. For smaller tasks where CodeSmith would be too much.
• AutoCopier. Something I wrote to copy assemblies to other directories as soon as they're built. I might release this to the world somewhen.
• Process Explorer. An alternative to task manager, which (amongst many other things) shows which DLLs are loaded by an executable.
  
• SlickRun. A quick way of launching programs, files and websites from one small place.
  
• BGInfo. Display system settings on desktop wallpaper.
  
• Cropper. For creating screenshots without using a graphics program.
  

Many of these I found through Scott Hanselman's list, which is way bigger than mine.
