I don't have the email addresses of everyone who wanted these, so I'm
just going to spam the group!
Fixing Windows:
CCleaner (aka CrapCleaner) http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Good for pruning the registry, cleaning up cache files, controlling
service start-up, nuking cookies and a bunch of other house-keeping
tasks. Piriform do some other rather handy tools too.
PageDefrag http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897426.aspx
Defrags the page file on next boot
General Defragging http://mydefrag.com/
Others are available, your mileage may vary, back-up first etc.

Others are avail...you get the idea.
USB support for VirtualBox:
