I use VC6 daily and I always add:

- A macro named "OpenH". It adds a button to the toolbar that flips the
active editing window back and forth between a cpp file and the
like-named h file. I think it came from codeguru or codeproject, but
seems to be gone now. (Source available for your web site on request.)

- The "WndTabs" addin, freeware to provide a tabbed interface for
switching between open source files. http://www.wndtabs.com

- An optical intellimouse with left and right side buttons. I set them
up to copy and paste.

- A little "Ruler" application I wrote (for Tools menu) that looks like
a ruler, for measuring screen elements in pixels. (Source available for
your web site on request.)

I have on occasion used the 'Objective Grid' grid control and the
CodeJock GUI toolkit with no complaints.
