Great recommendations, but here are some other great, free suggestions:
Launchy is great only if you remember the program name. To see, for example, all your burning apps, you need 8Start Launcher (reviewed in post #25 of my utilities blog, http://jonathanstoolbar.blogspot.com) or similar.
I prefer Documeron to ActualDoc (as explained in my blog #18). And why use Command Burner when CDBurnerXP is so good?
Copernic is my favorite desktop search tool too. While there, try Copernic's great Web metasearch engine, too (described in my blog #7) and you'll forget Google.
While at Jackass Joe's for Rename Master, check out his other great free utilities, including clipboard manager ArsClip (which also manages boilerplate like TagKeys). Or use a great file manager, such as xplorer2 (my blog #5), for renaming files.
Free macro scripting tools include AutoHotKey and MacroMaker; why pay more?
I hope this is helpful. Visit http://jonathanstoolbar.blogspot.com for more utility recommendations.

I recommend a tool to automate your web browsing. Have a look at http://www.updatepatrol.com. You just register your favorite or important sites with it, and it emails you the page with changes highlighted. This is a great time saver!
P.B.

If anyone is still reading the comments to this story, I retract my Oct. 22 comment recommending the Copernic Web metasearch engine. I recently discovered, to my surprise, that Copernic has excluded Google from the search engines it polls.
My favorite Web metasearch engine now is Dogpile. I still recommend Copernic for desktop search, though.
Thank you for your attention.
