I use FileZilla, as it's free, has a neat tabbrowser interface, also handles SFTP and others, and works with the FTP server on my Xbox's Xecuter3 whereas most other clients don't.

I used to use TweakUI in XP to remove the dog from the search pane and have it more like Windows 2000 search, but since I don't know how to do that in XP x64, I had to find a better search tool. I found Everything. It took less than 30 seconds to index my hard drive (which had about 130,000? files). Not to mention that it doesn't use much memory. Dog free both performance wise and interface wise. I'm loving it.

I'll probably stick with it when I (finally) upgrade to 7.

Works just as well as XP 32-bit except it supports more than 4GB of RAM. I've yet to have any compatibility problems (except for a TV tuner, but it didn't support Vista/7 x64, either). Does the job and does the job well.

Glad to hear it.

I also forgot mention an application that I install when ever I re-install windows on my laptop or any of my other computers:

I would like to add a little here:
VLC
MSE
Java
Flash
Adobe Reader
Winamp for streaming audio
RealPlayer for their download utility only
Google Earth for running credit checks on new customers
Zune
Roxio to burn data, DVD, and music discs,
AVG Link Scanner
TBird

I have a lot of other third party software, but it is specific to my needs in downloading, converting, merging video; and concerting music.
