    What programs do you use daily on your computers/laptops?
    Mine are the following:
    [​IMG] - Firefox. My internet browser of choice.
    [​IMG] - Spotify. For music, truly love this program. Much better when you have Premium though.
    [​IMG] - Skype. For instant messaging, I mainly use it to talk to clients and sometimes friends.
    [​IMG] - AIM. For instant messaging, I mainly use it to talk to friends.
    [​IMG] - XAMPP. Used for localhost, for my coding projects and forum related things.
    [​IMG] - Notepad++. For whenever I'm doing something coding related, or just when I need to use a notepad.
    [​IMG] - iCap. To take screencaps whenever necessary.

    [​IMG] - Firefox, for web browsing.
    [​IMG] - Skype, for IM'ing.
    [​IMG] & [​IMG] - Visual Studio versions 2012 and 2013, for coding projects.
    [​IMG] & [​IMG] - G.I.M.P. & Photoshop, for graphics.
    [​IMG] - Vegas Pro 12, for video editing.
    [​IMG] - VLC, for watching videos.

    I use a lot of other tech-geared programs like Packet Tracer, Wireshark, Rational Rose to name a few but not on a day-to-day basis.

    Just Skype, which I have opened at all times, and Firefox. My Firefox always has at least 8 standard tabs open, so I can basically do anything I want from there xD

    Mine are fairly generic. 8]

    ~ Chrome for browsing. It's my go-to browser and I can't use anything else.
    ~ Skype for IMing online friends.
    ~ Trillian for chatting with my real life friends and the boyfriend.
    ~ Flux for automatically adjusting my screen brightness depending on the time of day. I have this on all the time and cannot go without it: going back to the original colors/brightness of a computer screen destroys me. It's terrible. This program is so good for your eyes.
    ~ Photoshop CS6 for graphics and artwork.
    ~ VLC for videos, iTunes for music.
    ~ Pages for writing stories.

    That's.. basically it, methinks. There are also other programs I mess with from time to time but not as often as the above (though it's likely I've missed something).

    Skype- Instant messaging at its finest
    Snipping Tool- Just basic screencapping
    Google Sketchup- just for fun. It's great if you like designing buildings.

    ~Chrome. The superior browser choice in my opinion. Perfect, fast, sleek and useful.
    ~Photoshop CS6. Need this for various graphics, including some around LV.
    ~Skype. I use this to talk to my friends (90% of the LV staff members and various other folks too) members every single day.
    ~Filezilla. Need this to update the forums and main site with new stuff.
    ~Photobooth. Useful, funny and just a good timewaster.
    ~Thunderbird. All of my LV emails are through here.

    That's it.

    I use these programs every day I'm on the computer:
    *Firefox - my web browser of choice even though I really should switch to something else.
    *Windows Media Player - listening to music and watch some videos.
    *VLC - watch flash videos and other file types that WMP can't play.
    *Thunderbird - I'm one of those people who still prefer standalone email software over webmail. I have it set up for my GMail account, and I also have the Lightning plugin so that I have a calendar and task list.
    *Windows Task Manager - because I like to see how my system resources are being used and I have it up in case I want to close a non-responsive program.
    *Windows Explorer - I have a bunch of folder windows open most of the time, particularly my pictures and videos.

    Other programs that I use frequently:
    *LibreOffice - so I can do basic office documents (such as word processing and spreadsheets.)
    *VirtualBox - I like to run older and different operating systems just for the fun of it.
    *TightVNC - so I can remotely control other machines on my LAN as if I were sitting at its desk.

    Chrome/Firefox: for Internet browsing; I only have one browser up, and the one that's up depends on whether my computer is plugged in or not (since Chrome drains battery life more quickly)

    Word: for school-related stuff

    ImageReady CS2: for graphics

    Skype: for chatting with friends

    TextEdit: also for school-related stuff; I use it for other purposes as well
