Programs for a fresh Windows install

[kill dank]

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..
