This is My PC Setup :)

I am a bit curious to know, what applications you open up when you boot up your computer?

For me the first few applications I always open while starting my PC are, these applications are not started on the PC startup as I like to boot my PC and start using it faster:

You could be a PC, a Mac or a user, but you may still have some applications which you instantly open up when you start your PC. Let me know about them through your comments.
