I'd say Windows Media Player 9 becoming the size of a taskbar button when you minimize it. Image

I wanted to try the Google Deskbar but it says it needs IE5.5 minimum. I'm happy with IE5.0 thankyou.

The thing I use the most though, is Winamp 2.
What I also like is <a href=http://www.google.com/search?q=media+pl ... ssic>Media Player Classic</a> because it's just like WMP 6.4 (which I used to use) but it plays Quicktime and DVD's like any other movie file, but it has many more features and tweaks if required.

If you're talking about the program, every few seconds.

The coolest windows enhancement I have ever seen was to unplug the machine. It haven't had a lick of trouble with it since.

My favorite is actually a DOS utility ... But it usually ends up being the solution to fixing a windows installation that is 6 months old or over ...
