Essential are those that are needed to work online and view most of the files that I need to work with. The first two applications that I did install were <a
href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Firefox</a> and <a
href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Thunderbird</a> both in their latest release version. I then imported the data from my old computer to the new one which gave me access to bookmarks, cookies and saved passwords.</p><p>I needed <a
href="http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/">MozBackup</a> to import the data from my old computer. Once I had access to my bookmarks and emails I began to install several applications that I needed for work. The screenshot application <a
href="http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html">MWSnap</a>, <a
href="http://winscp.net/eng/index.php">WinSCP</a> and <a
href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/">Putty</a> to administrate my dedicated server, <a
href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a> for editing images and <a
href="http://www.xnview.com/">XNView</a> Lite for viewing images.</p><p>Then <a
href="http://www.extractnow.com/">Extract Now</a> to be able to work with all kinds of archives, <a
href="http://www.un4seen.com/xmplay.html">XMPlay</a> for playing music, <a
href="http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/">SMPlayer</a> for videos, <a
href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/">Notepad++</a> for working with texts and source codes and <a
href="http://www.truecrypt.org/">True Crypt</a> to work with encrypted partitions.</p><p><span
id="more-4020"></span>Some applications that I need from time to time are not installed yet. This includes the awesome Unlocker to get rid of the &#8220;currently in use&#8221; message when deleting or moving files, <a
href="http://eraser.heidi.ie">Eraser</a> to delete files permanently, <a
href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva">Recuva</a> to be able to recover files and <a
href="http://www.revouninstaller.com/">Revo Uninstaller</a> to completely remove installed applications.</p><p>I do install Newsbin Pro, uTorrent and Opera as well but that&#8217;s it basically. That&#8217;s my main set of applications that I need regularly. I may have missed one or two but they will come to my mind in the moment I need them and miss the function that they provided.</p><p>Have anything to add ? Let me know please.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/06/must-have-software-for-a-new-computer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>27</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
