Recommended programs

Applications that do not directly necessary but that makes working at the computer so much easier, safer and better. I think these programs are so good that I always install them.. Some of them are shareware that I recommend buying, they are often expensive and many have lifetime license, Others are freeware., absolutely wonderful.

Programme list

• Chocolatey – Bulk installation of applications in Windows. Can be installed many programs in one fell swoop. I always check first if there is installation from Chocolatey and besides, updates are much easier.

• Total Commander – A file browser instead of Explorer. I belong to the old generation who grew up with ”Norton Commander” the DOS era, despite that my sons use Total Commander and they are gaming geeks.
  choco install totalcommander -y

• Everything – Is a search engine that immediately locates files and folders by file name. Unlike Windows Search, Showing Everything initially every file and folder on your computer immediately.
  choco install everything -y

• Avastfreeantivirus – Very good antivirus software. Install the free version.
  choco install avastfreeantivirus -y

• Winpatrol – Startup manager. Unfortunately, it was sold and the new owners did not develop the program. The latest version still works. Monitors the processes and programs to be started at boot time. Keeps track of that nothing is installed in the background without you knowing it. WinPatrol alerts you when programs attempt to change something in your system. If you install a program just would not approve.

• Link Shell Extension – Skapar Junction Point, a genuine path to a folder that is as authentic as the original. Unlike shortcut that only one link.
  choco install LinkShellExtension -y

• Thunderbird – Good email program.
  choco install thunderbird -y
