I want to add the following programs to the list as I find them also very useful in improving the use of the Windows OS.
There is a commercial product that has made my working with the File System in Windows extremely pleasant and easy - Directory Opus. This is the best desktop program I have ever used. The maturity and configurability of the application is mindblowing. Whenever I tell other people about it, they are immediately put off by the fact that they have to pay a two-digit amount for a lifetime license. There is a fantastic tutorial in case you are interested.
double clicking the taskbar to get to the task manager
using the scroll when your mouse is over the taskbar to control the volume
Link Shell Extension
A good utility that adds context-menu commands to the file manager for creating soft links/ junctions. Much easier than writing those things in the command line.

The tutorial was comprehensive as is the program with its multiple features like you said, Ivan! However, the two-digit price is only appealing if you're a resident of either the US, Australia, UK or the EU. From my experience in India, not many would be inclined to pay $49 AUD (~Rs 2500 as of 27th June) for a software unless it saves someone's life :P
Quick question - What would you recommend: Directory Opus Light or Directory Opus Pro Single based on your usage so far?
Never knew the taskbar was capable of making it so easy to organize running programs on any PC, that's something new I learned.
Link Shell Extension is by far the most thorough app I've seen to leverage Hardlinks on Windows.
Well, in Bulgaria there is the same mindset of not willing to pay for software just out of principle :) I think a more mature way of looking at this is - Do the benefits outweigh the costs?
I haven't used the Light version, so I cannot make a fair comparison I am afraid.
