Over the last few days I have come across some rather useful (to me anyway) Windows apps. Feel free to post anything you have found recently as well.

PC Decrapifier
This little utility does a great job of removing software that comes bundled with a new PC like AOL, Dell URL Assistant, trial version of AV products.

MediaInfo
This one is for the media geeks out there. An open source project that helps you work with those media files that will not play. MediaInfo will identify the file and what codec or encoding used and provide a link to download the proper player and / or codec. This is a much safer way to download codecs than just pulling down a random pack off the web. There are so many trojans and other nasties out there pretending to be video codecs.

OpenProj
I love this one. An open source, cross-platform version of Microsoft Project. It even opens your existing .mpp project files.

Easy Duplicate Finder
The name pretty much describes it. If you need to free up some drive space this tool will find the duplicate files on your drive.

There is also a great list of replacements for Windows applications (like Notepad, Explorer, Paint) over at Lifehacker
