Another vote for irfanview - and the latest version lets you batch convert pictures and rename them at the same time. Invaluable. I'd pay money for it if they insisted.
PhotoFiltre - Just discovered this via Personal Computer World's article on freeware. It's a nice, compact and fully functional image editor. You have to register interest (and money) with the author to use it Professionally/Commercially, but if you wanted that sort of thing you'd use photoshop anyway. A handy tool for making images/avatars for stuff over the internet.
nlite a handy little program for stripping unwanted crap out of the XP setup and integrating service packs/drivers/custom settings/automation onto an install disc. Saves a lot of the time normally spent after an install changing all the default XP settings back to your preferred ones.
Just wanted to add SDP. A brilliant free video stream ripper. Analyzes which files are being streamed and allows you to save out any of them, ripping the .wmv from an .asx for example.
NetMeter
This is a small piece of software for monitoring bandwidth usage, it might be free but it has quite a few options, gives plenty of information and is easy to use.
