Recova - File Recovery tool
Description: This freeware recovery tool appears on a lot of top ten lists for undeleting files. It was very effective for me for recovering some from an inadvertent system restore that deleted the My Documents directories. Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore
files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This
includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other
files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory
cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been
deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!

Autoruns - from Sysinternals
Description: This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor (A starting list of auto-run locations was obtained from David Solomon's "Windows Internals" seminar), shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.
