well since you ditched that obscene amount of codecs I don't see what you would need to change, I love Winamp as a media player and I run VLC for videos. For the picture viewer maybe try the Picasa one?

i use:
sumatra for pdf's
7-zip for compression (handles everything, open source, fantastic)
cdburnerxp for burning
irfanview for any picture viewing that windows built-in gallery can't do
may wanna check those out
if i had to pick one, it would be sumatra for sure. very small, lightweight, open source. It's great.
