text: As a CS student and IT intern, these are desktop software I use the most:
  
  Launchy - Mainly as a program launcher, sometimes as a simple calculator.
  
  Google Drive/Dropbox - For sharing files between my work and home machines, and my laptop.
  
  Notepad++ with MikTex- For doing my homework in LaTeX and compile it to PDF.
  
  SumatraPDF - Lighter and faster than Adobe Reader
  
  PuTTY/KiTTY - For logging to school server and doing my programming assignments.
  
  WinSCP - For transferring files between local machines and servers.
  
  Search Everything - For searching, well, everything on my computers.
  
  Google Chrome - For, um, researching on the Internet.
  
  CCleaner - For our staff computers maintenance
  
  PortableApps on a USB flash drive with various software tools for troubleshooting.
  
  And many others I can’t think of at the moment.
