If you use Gtalk and Winamp simultaneously and tried to set the currently playing track as your status, you might have been faced by Gtalk hanging. I also struggled with this for 2 weeks until  I did a bit of googling and got a link which gives a trick to get rid of the problem.

The trick is to create an empty winamp.m3u file in \Program Files\Winamp folder and you are done.

I was copying some data from a DVD and it stopped in between due to some error with some file. Then I was reminded of Total Copy (A small alternate utility to Windows copy) but even thats is not much stable and you have to right click & drag for copy/paste.

I googled a bit and came across another small utility called Tera Copy. Its just 1 MB download and replaces Windows copy/paste. It provides many options like skipping a file, resuming copy and some other stuff. A must have for all Windows users. There is a pro version too.
