Programs for a fresh Windows install

So this weekend, I had to do an unexpected reformat/install of Windows 7. I made a list of programs I wanted to install a while ago when I started to see signs that I would have to re-install, but considering the fact that it caught me off guard this weekend, I didn't make a full list and I lost a lot of stuff..


So I come here in search of programs I should install. I have most of the necessary ones, but I'm looking for cool and useful ones that I either don't have or don't know about. These can be anything really..

I'll reply as I see fit and throw in a few suggestions of my own for anyone who's interested.. Thanks.

Post away. =]

 

Try going to ninite.com, they have a list of programs u choose from, tick the boxes you want and then a small file will be downloaded. Open that file and it will automatically download all of the programs you ticked ;D

 

Rocket dock is always good . MSN etc..

 

That is an amazing website. Thank you so much.

 

Microsoft office...
(just incase hahaha) even though you should be moving into Clouds like google docs, anyway download ur anti virus stuff like malwarebytes anti malware

 

Yes office is always a good one I forgot about that! Going to need it one day, specially when opening .docx.

 

Microsoft Office, Windows Live Messenger, Photoshop, C4D, Camtasia, and Vegas Pro.
