PuTTY Connection Manager

http://puttycm.free.fr/cms/

Allows you to manage multiple PuTTY connections with auto-login, with passwords being stored in an encrypted database file. Perfect if Mr Security has had his way in your organisation and your servers have varying, complex passwords.

RealVNC

http://www.realvnc.com

The original VNC. Probably the best remote admin console software there is, once you've worked in an environment that uses VNC properly it'll kill you to have to go back that out of the box limited RDP rubbish.

Its killer feature has to be the ability to copy and paste (binary) files from session to session, excellent.

Its not free if you want the bells and whistles, but if you've got a couple of quid left over in your budget at the end of the year, its well work a look.

Synergy

KVM functionality without a KVM - allows you to control multiple Windows machines from the same keyboard. Ideally suited to when you've more than one desktop machine, but would them to be managed as if they were multiple displays from the same machine.
