For those of us using 'big' Windows XP... - VGF

What are the recent programs showing in your Start Menu (the left column when you first open it, above Programs)?

Mine are:
1) Notepad (I edit a LOT of text files. I'm kinda suprised VI isn't here though.)
2) Text Document (OpenOffice)
3) Quicktime Player (watched the Bunnies videos one too many times - ALLEZ LES BLEUNNIES!)
4) Adobe Reader 7.0
5) Vantage Master 2 (my current strategy game addiction, it's free to download from www.falcom.com)
6) FlashPlayer 7 (I'm using it to play Walk Smash Walk as background music).

How about you?

Not really representative of the apps I use. And by apps, I mean games.
