Here are some that haven't been mentioned yet.

RamBooster "With RamBooster you can continuously monitor the amount of RAM. If the amount of free RAM goes too low, free more with RamBooster. RamBooster can do this automatically if you wish.

I've had this on my laptop for awhile and it seems to work when your system gets sluggish.

Windows PowerToys For XP

My favorites include ClearType Tuner, Alt-Tab Replacement, Power Calculator (nice replacement for the normal calc), and Tweak UI (lots of nice hidden things you can edit with this).

Microsoft AntiSpyware formerly known as GIANT AntiSpyware

This program works well for scanning and deleting spyware on your laptop. The program is similar to most antivirus software.

BS Player

A good multimedia program for playing all sorts of file types.

Rainlendar

A great skinable desktop calendar. This is one of my favorite programs for my laptop.

myTunes Redux

A great program for listening to other peoples iTunes music when on a network.

TaskSwitchXP

Graphical Alt-Tab replacement for XP.
