Puretext is a really useful slice of freeware. It basically allows you to use windows + v to paste text minus any formatting. This eliminates the practice of pasting things into Notepad and then cutting and pasting them back into your app, or wrestling with Outlook because you've pasted in some text that was written in a different font. Recently, I reinstalled my machine and forgot to copy it across. It's a sure sign of a really useful app when your machine just doesn't feel quite right without it.

While I'm here, more apps that give my PC that warm and fuzzy feeling:

VLC
Free Download Manager
FeedDemon
Firefox
Konfabulator (although, in all honesty, Konfabulator isn't running on my development machine right now…)
