Curious

[Ochiocho]

Hello fellow Rog's,

I had a general question I like to put out there to get some feed back from everyone. I was wondering what do you folks happen to install after you have everything up and running after clean install and updated drivers and such. Trying to get some ideas. Things that you yourself can't seem to live without. Maybe we can compile a list for others to help them.
So I will start off....

I like to get an unzip program. (7zip or winrar)
I also either download Firefox or Chrome for web browsing.


Just throwing out ideas to get this started. I am really curious what you download/install either for personal reasons or even programs you install to monitor performance or even tweak your systems.

Thanks in advance!

VLC player- that's the one I was looking for. (I know this would be helpful)

I just install my preferred user programs, for the way I use my computers. I would assume that's different for everybody. The only "universal" installation is Windows and the suite of essential drivers.

@Brody,

Oh I understand. I was asking just for that. What you feel is important to you to download. Beyond essentials.



- I tried the CCleaner. Is it common to have to run the registry cleaner multiple times? I ran it three times. On the third pass everything seemed to be cleaned up.

This is completly normal.

After a clean install, I've never felt I needed to clean up anything. I do turn off some Windows features that I don't use, but since I haven't installed & uninstalled drivers/programs I don't want, there's no problematic garbage in the registry.
