In order of priority:
Hamachi
Firefox
Remote Desktop Concurrent Users Hack (termsrv.dll patch - XP or Vista)
Winrar or 7-Zip
Metapad
cygwin

I generally administer a lot of my family's computers, so I like to be able to access them remotely (hence the Hamachi + Remote Desktop hack). I put those on first and then can do any more maintenance without having to physically be at the computer.
