Auslogics has a couple of very useful freebies you should probably have - Disk Defrag and their Duplicate Files Finder.
Their free Disk Defrag works better than the built-in one in Windows 7, and it gives you the option to perform the defrag regardless of whether the system says it needs it or not - in case you wanted to do that for any reason. The Windows one works well but automatically, and doesn't like to be told when to do it. I like to do it myself, especially after adding or removing large files.
Speaking of files, Auslogics Duplicate Files Finder works like a charm, and you can choose which kinds of files you want it to look for - such as images, or audio, or video, or archives, or applications - or all of the above. It works quickly, and if it finds duplicates, it reminds you to leave at least one copy of each on your system before you delete anything - and it puts the deleted ones into the Recycle Bin, in case you needed to restore something. When you're happy that everything is working, then dump the Recycle Bin.
Here's another 'essential' freebie, if you want to know what's really on your computer. This will do an inventory of everything on there - all your programs, system information, version numbers, Windows key codes, license numbers, security updates - you name it - it lists them all.
You'll wonder how you managed without it, and if you file a copy of its report in a safe place, you will always have the information, in case you ever really need it.
