Most useful Freeware/Shareware Windows Apps.

Firefox: THE browser of the Internet. Won't use anything else.
Total Commander, my choice of File Manager since, forever.
CDBurnerXP: Very nice CD/DVD/BlueRay, Data/Audio burner. Freeware.
SysInternals: Indispensable system tools.
Media Player Classic: With a few codecs, it's all you need to play your videos.
Winamp: Essential audio player for me.
TrueCrypt, an essential encryption suite.
BitComet, my choice of torrent client.
Foxit, a freeware PDF Reader. It's light-weight and fast, why use bloated Adobe apps?
Daemon Tools Lite, mount cd/dvd images
SyncToy
iMazingConverterWindows.exe iMazingConverter, heic'den jpg, mov'dan mp4'e çeviriyor, gerçekten free ama dikkat et, converter'ı indir sadece.
