ImageJ- Not the best image processor, but it opens much faster than photoshop, and is perfect for small changes.
Finale Notepad- The very best free sheet music editor and creator EVER. I use it all the time, and it has so many capabilities. The only thing better is Finale itself, but that's like $600.
Disk Defragmenter- yes it comes with windows, and yes it doesn't make your computer run THAT much faster, but it's satisfying to start up and just hope that you might get a little more speed.
