Default What is your most frequently used program?

What is your most frequently used program according to the Windows start menu? This only applies if you haven't modified your system to not let Windows automatically manage the programs shown on the list.

The reason I am asking this is that I noticed that mine is, and has been for a while, Notepad... which seems odd, but I do use it a lot.

Haha, Notepad here as well. I use it to keep track of a lot of stuff, as well as code my web pages with it. Next on the list is iTunes (I love music) and Word (hey, I have to write a lot of papers and stuff).

Mine is Adobe Acrobat, followed by Notepad and WinEdt. I often use notepad as a means of temporary storage that is somewhere between CTRL-C and actually saving something to a file. I also occasionally use it to do some back-of-the-envelope manipulations when I can't find my pen.

MS paint. When I am bored during group discussions or anything else that has someone giving a lecture, I would bust out ms paint on my laptop and start dooling nonsensical things. I even did it to a point where I liked the pattern I drew and used it as wallpaper for my myspace page. MS paint is my most used, flithy whor--I mean program. hehe

Notepad, Microsoft Word 2003, Minesweeper( ), calculator and Windows Live Messenger. For some strange reason, Windows Media Player isn't on there, but that is definitely the most used program on this computer.

DosBox. Is top of the list - but that list only keeps track of the most frequently used program that you select from the START menu. I have shortcuts to all my really frequently used programs in the quick-launch menu and when you use programs from there it doesn't record that as a "use" of the program. So my really most frequently used programs are Firefox, MS Word, Thunderbird, iTunes, and CivIV. (And the Sam and Max games of course)

Since I, too, access my most frequently used programs (Opera, Miranda, OpenOffice Writer, etc.) through the quick launch bar, they don't appear in the start menu. That said, my start menu items at this point in time appear to be:

Spider Solitaire
Flash 8
GameTap
CCleaner
LimeWire
Internet Explorer
Audacity

I use a Mac, which treats all programs as equal and doesn't play favorites. (As far as I can tell, there's no frequently-used thing in OS X).

But I can tell you mine would be:
Mail
NetNewsWire
Safari
TextMate

with actual work-related apps (Word, NetBeans) way, way off in the distance.

MSPaint? I love that! And worms armageddon!?!? If I had my disc with me, I would challenge you to a game Doug.

I guess I should post what else I have on my list:
Notepad, Opera, Visual C++ 2005, LiveWriter Beta, Gametap (yeah, I am using it in Spain... I am so glad they only check location during the registration stages)

If you have GameTap, then you can challenge Doug to a game of Worms: Armageddon. I believe the multiplayer works in the GameTap version. Hell, I'll join in if you set up a game.

Actually, I've been playing the standalone version. I hadn't even noticed it was available in Gametap.

It's still compatible with players on GameTap. Kind of like how Halo could be played between XBox and PC users.
