Flux looks really exciting... Even though my computer is in my basement. :P Anyways, I still have a window in here. ;D
There are a lot of programs I've never seen before, so I'll share mine:

Taskbar:
Windows Explorer. :P
Microsoft Word 2010
Microsoft Excel 2010
MathType (don't know the web page, since I got it from high school, but it's awesome for typing math).
Graph (also from high school, it simply makes graphs, show points etc. if you type them in).
Google Chrome
Internet Explorer 64-bit (for when Google Chrome fails :P)
Internet Explorer 32-bit (for when everything else fails :P)
Windows Media Player
Microsoft Paint
GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/ (great program, similar to Adope Photoshop, but free. Can handle very large images.)
Google SketchUp - http://sketchup.google.com/ (good for making 3-dimensional models.)
Minecraft - http://www.minecraft.net/ (usually I don't have games on my taskbar, but I used this a lot some time ago... Very good creative game)
Politiken's English Dictionary (just an electronic dictionary for when I find an English word I don't know, or need ideas for words to use.)
Windows Live Messenger
Sometimes Universe Sandbox

Tray:
Steam - http://store.steampowered.com/ (game platform)
Sometimes the Java Platform, when I use Java.
Windows Live Mesh - http://explore.live.com/windows-live-mesh?os=other (probably good for syncronizing and accessing another computer on the internet... Never really used it though)
Microsoft OneNote 2010 (part of Microsoft Office 2010)
SmartException (a program made for logging crashes in programs, by Stardock)
Impulse - http://www.impulsedriven.com/ (game platform)
Microsoft Security Essentials - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ (free computer protection and anti-virus program)

Other recommended programs:
Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (free audio editor)
GameMaker - http://www.yoyogames.com/ (free... Game maker... Sadly it doesn't work on Windows 7 64-bit >:()
...And lots of other programs. My shortcuts are uploaded below. If a program looks exciting, just ask, and I'll probably know (or be able to find out) what it is about.

I should probably get Notepad++ again soon... It was much better than Notepad.
