Excluding updates/AV/security apps it's probably Opera then Irfanview top of the list for me.

Edit - and the uxtheme jobbie so I can run the milk theme.

Aside from the common office apps and virus / spyware protection.....

Winrar
VLC
Winamp
Newsleecher or Ninian, I usually end up with both installed.
Nero
Firefox

Then I install a whole lot of spyware filled apps I don't need, clog up my system and restart again:p

Its called a ready setup Ghost image file :D
The essential apps-
*ConTEXT- Text editor
*WinRAR- Archives
*Office/ OpenOffice
*EXT2FSD- Linux EXT3 filesystem driver
*IrfanView & Paintshop Pro- Images
*Sketchup- 3d modelling app
*Google Earth
*Azureus/ Edonkey 2000 (Original)- IMHO the best combo of filesharing apps.
