<div class="IPBDescription">Looking for additional apps</div> I'm working on a CD that I can use to just load up necessary applications and utilities on a recently formatted computer.
Here's a list of installers I plan to include:
Zone Alarm
EditPad Lite
CDex
WinRAR
Trillian
Winamp
PuTTY
SmartFTP
RegCleaner
PageDefrag
Mozilla Firebird/Thunderbird
Spybot S&D
Proxomitron
If you've got any recommendations please add them!

Adobe Acrobat Reader
Ad-Aware
Divx
Game patches
*Edit*
<a href='http://www.ipswitch.com/' target='_blank'>WS ftp</a> Get the lite version for free, this is awesome FTP software.
Also check out readyroom.org's computer tweak guide (its on the left at the bottom) Monse has links to some nice utilities.

Good call on the Acrobat Reader. Normally I would include DivX and game patches, but this is for generic (ie work and/or non-gaming) PCs. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ad-Aware is always good, but Spybot S&D does everything it can, plus finds everything that Ad-Aware misses. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Otto - I'll look into Zip Genius, I had never heard of it until now.
Nero Buring Rom
Clone CD
Easy CD creater
Discjuggler
*Edit*
Thier all shareware :/ altho Discjuggler lets u write at your writers lowest possible speed for as long as u like.
Btw may i suggest WinAce it opens zip/rar/ace files and never runs out, u have to click a close window icon but thats it

I'm trying to keep it as primarily freeware as possible, which is why I may replace WinRAR with ZipGenius and Smart FTP with WSFTP.
Nero and CloneCD are great apps, but this is for use in many PCs, and I don't want to have lots of computers with Nero telling me to upgrade constantly after 30 days. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Are any of the other ones you mentioned like DiscJuggler freeware instead of shareware?
Stuff on as much as you can. Certainly don't leave out stuff you need for divx, but if you've got some extra space.. Why not throw it on just in case?
