Gadwin PrintScreen:

Great screen shot tool. Copies a selected rectangular area or the entire screen to file / email / clipboard (based on your preference). Supports multiple imge format
Taskbar Shuffler:

Allows you reshuffle your taskbars around. If you are like me and hate the group similar taskbar buttons feature that windows provides.
Unlocker:

Even faced the error message = “This file is being used by another program and cannot be deleted”. Well, unlocker will help you figure out the processes locking the file and will also let you either break the locks or delete the file.
Everything:
http://www.voidtools.com/
Everything provides lightning fast file name searches. It does not look inside the files, but when you need to find a specific file from your hard drive, everything will never disappoint you.
MP3Tag:
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Very useful for organizating your MP3 content. Apple iPod has an annoying habit of displaying albums based on the “Album Artist” and “Album” ID3 information. MP3 tag allows you to fix all this information (for multiple files) in one shot. Additionally, it supports downloading information from the web, downloading album-art, renaming the files based on the tags etc.

Google's Custom Search
It looks like .NET 2.0 has a lot of similarities with the Java world. When searching content on the web for a topic which is available in either technologies, you usually have to prefix/suffix it with an additional keyword. For ex: C# Collections
There is a cool alternative to doing this, using Google Custom Search. This basically lets you create your own custom search engine which will search for the specified keyword in the sites of your choice. You could also specify if the search should ONLY list results from yout site list or should just emphasise them while listing everything else as well. For ex: You could create a custom search engine that would search only in MSDN and CodeProject for .NET specific content.
One such dot net search engine is available here. This engine currently searched 62 sites (as of today) related to Microsoft .NET technologies. You can even add it to you Google homepage. My Google homepage has a search section that looks like this:
Options galore!

Finally...
Its 2 AM and I have finally succeeded in finding a blogger URL that has not been already been registered. This was more difficult than getting myself a new yahoo or gmail id. Though the name UniversalGyan does not actually reflect what I intend to do with this blog but its OK for starters I guess. Gobbledegook is more like it though :)
