I actually have been using #6 (System Information for Windows) for a little while. It came in handy when I had to reinstall Office 2003 and didn't have my disk handy for my registration key. I simply ran this program before I did the reinstall and it let me know the key for XP and for Office. Actually, it can almost tell you everything about what you're running.
Another great program is Process Explorer. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx
