Free downloads that are not "officially" supported

• KeepVid - Download and save YouTube videos.
• DisplayFusion - Give each of your monitors its own Windows taskbar or wallpaper, span one long wallpaper across displays, move windows to new screens with a single click, and more.
• Gladinet - Get access to your online files - such as those in Google Docs or Windows Live Skydrive - as if they're stored locally.  Gladinet mounts the services like network drives that are accessed from Windows Explorer.
• IrfanView - A compact classic dating back to 1996, IrfanView can view any kind of image thrown at it (some video and audio too), plus convert and edit it.
• Riot - Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT) reduces image size - not the dimensions, but the actual file size.  Smaller GIFs, JPGs and PNGs on Web pages mean faster load times.  RIOT will display old and new side by side for comparison.  It's also an IrfanView plug-in.
• Fotosizer - Three steps are all it takes:  Pick a bunch of digital photos, select resize settings, and let it rip.  All the images are reduced, replacing the original images or duplicating the source, as specified.
• BackUp Maker - This simple interface might make all the difference for average users saving their data.  It sends files to another drive (including USB drives), a CD/DVD, or an FTP site.  It also handles file restoration if you lose something.
• DriverMax - Use it to back up hardware drivers, then restore them after a fresh nuke-and-reinstall of Windows.  DriverMax will even check for driver updates.
