No matter how much Microsoft tries to refine its operating system, a clean OS cannot be used as desired, but only in very limited conditions, for example at work, where the installation of any programs is prohibited or there are no rights to it. If you are not a programmer or an advanced computer user, then you just need to install a list of standard programs on your computer - and you will be able to use the device normally. This applies to your own computer.
After installing the drivers, you need to install Total Commander. The program provides convenient access to your file system. It replaces the standard, beloved by many Windows Explorer. Now it has become more convenient to change, move and copy files. From launch file manager work with the computer begins. Microsoft Windows cannot work with archive formats such as .rar by default. Even despite its prevalence.
The WinRAR shell has been adopted in Russia. It supports all archive formats, including .zip. It is integrated into your operating system, as a result, you get the opportunity to work with all archives from the standard one in Explorer. This utility is included with honor in the list of standard programs. It's paid. There is a free alternative - 7-zip. It also has all the necessary functions, but it cannot pack into .rar.
Antivirus is necessary on every computer. On top of that, this is the only program your device needs. Buy it and live in peace. Paid versions eliminate the need to search for signature databases and updated keys. We use: Eset NOD32, Kaspersky Antivirus and DrWeb. Choose and use, but remember that 100% protection does not exist. Antivirus tops the list of standard programs.
Moreover, there are also good free ones: Comodo Antivirus, Avira, Avast and AVG. There is also an option with a corporate version - Symantec Endpoint Protection. This is a paid, good device protector, the corporate version of which does not require keys, updates itself, and works without a hitch. For convenience, you need to install an alternative browser to replace Internet Explorer. Popular Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome and Opera. If you leave Windows browser, then update it to the latest version.
DVD drives are now used less frequently than before, but are still installed on almost every computer. Discs are burned using Nero Burning ROM, a paid program. You can also use free ones - ImgBurn, JetBee FREE or Nero MediaHome. The list of standard programs includes Adobe Acrobat Reader, which allows you to read PDF. This utility is completely free program. PDF is the most common format for instructions, books and documentation. Without this special program a file of this standard cannot be opened.
The list of standard computer programs continues with programs for advanced users. The above is the minimum list without which your device will not be complete. Skype is free worldwide. Supports chat, voice and video. Is indispensable for communication. For its normal operation, you need a microphone, headphones and a camera. Also, both computers must have Skype program. Allows you to call mobile phones, but not free. The list also includes the popular ICQ client.
It is a little outdated, but nevertheless, many users install it on their devices out of old memory. Can be exchanged free messages, supports high-quality video chat, cheap calls to phones. That is, you can maintain constant contact with friends. Instead of the cumbersome ICQ, we recommend installing the QIP client.
To check mail, a person goes to a website, for example Yandex.ru, and looks at the “Inbox”. There are many programs that are much more convenient to use, especially when you have several mailboxes. The utility connects to to the desired server and downloads all mail to the computer. It can then be viewed without delay, switching quickly between boxes. Can be recommended Mozilla Thunderbird or The Bat. Microsoft Outlook is also good. We recommend including separate video and audio players in the list of standard programs on your PC. Unfortunately, it is not possible to combine them in one utility so that everyone likes it, despite all the efforts of the developers.
Recommended video players: VLC Player, Light Alloy, GOM Player and Zoom Player. For audio: AIMP or WinAmp. Over time, you'll need to remember or write down a lot of passwords, so we recommend using one of two password managers: LastPass or RoboForm. Programs remember passwords and store them on the server. They can be used from different places, on completely different computers.
Such programs solve a wide variety of problems and therefore are needed to varying degrees by everyone, regardless of their profession. Recently they have been called office ones. The standards for such software are set by Microsoft Corporation. Current Office package Works fast on all Windows devices. It includes Lync, Publisher, Access, OneNote, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. This software allows you to conveniently work with spreadsheets, a business graphics editor, a presentation program, a desktop publishing system, a database management system, and prepare visual presentations.
Your personal dispatcher is now Outlook, which includes an address book, weekly planner, diary, email for communication with the outside world, and also performs other required functions. ABOUT Microsoft Office you can write a lot. But if you fork out the money to purchase it once, you will get a very good, irreplaceable assistant.
To the “clean” just now installed Windows For normal operation it is simply necessary to install many more programs, because without them, as you understand, there is nowhere. Let's try to make a small list of the most necessary programs for a computer, without which full use of a computer is simply impossible. Please note that in the article, in the description of any program there is a link to its working version
So...
The most necessary and important program is your antivirus protection.It is usually divided into 4 categories: antivirus, firewall, comprehensive protection and computer scanning programs. I prefer comprehensive protection, consisting of an antivirus + firewall. On this moment I use one of the free ones - Avast! I would recommend using only the most proven anti-virus programs: Kaspersky, Norton, ESET(nod32), DrWeb, Avast, Panda, McAfee and other popular ones. In general, it's a matter of taste. If you don’t want to pick up some Trojan, be sure to install it!
Next we will install the archiver. Since most files on the Internet are in archives (.rar .zip .7z), we will definitely need an archiver program. I suggest simultaneous use two: WinRar and 7Zip.
Their differences can be described in one line: WinRar- a beautiful and advanced archiver, but with 7zip it’s free. Well, as a bonus - only an archiver 7zip opens archives in .7z format
Next on the list we will have disc burning program(although in recent years I have increasingly begun to doubt its need... I use discs once every 3 months). Dominates here Nero, the most popular program for burning discs (the fact that it’s paid doesn’t bother anyone). How free alternative I can advise ImgBurn or shareware Ashampoo Burning Studio- the functionality is less, but for its main task - burning discs - it is more than enough.
Further... we need Office. And most likely - Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.). I think there is no need to describe it - you yourself know perfectly well what it is. For lovers of free software, I can recommend Open Office or better yet LibreOffice- they are almost as good as the brainchild of Microsoft Corporation, and they work with Microsoft formats no problem.
Now we'll look at codecs. Why is this thing needed? And so that when watching your favorite film, you, dear readers, do not have any problems. Without them, many video and audio formats simply will not play! The most popular codec package is K-Lite Codec Pack. By the way, a very good video player is installed with it - Media Player Classic.
Video viewer necessary for any PC user. Even if you have a brand new home theater, very often you have to watch a variety of videos on your computer - from clips to video seminars. They will cope with this task perfectly KMplayer And QuickTime Player.
Listening to music- Using standard Windows Media Player, listening to music is simply not possible, no matter how hard the developers try... the 2 most popular players are suitable for this purpose: Winamp And AIMP. The second player consumes less resources, and is also free. But even here it’s a matter of taste and habit. For example, I use two.
I would also recommend universal players which read both video and audio files without problems: GOM Media Player And VLC media player- they read all formats and by the way they are completely free!
Don't forget that we need program for reading .pdf files. Many books, articles, and other literature are published in this format. Here I recommend Foxit Reader as a replacement for a bulky (and even paid) monster Adobe reader. You may need Adobe Photoshop and viewing photo albums ACDsee Pro
Text recognising- here is the most best program, of course ABBYY FineReader, however, there is free analogues, For example CuneiForm
Don't forget about utilities that keep your system clean - Uninstall Tool And CCleaner.
As a result, we have an extensive list of programs - and at least two dozen of them will definitely be useful to you... When installing an operating system, by default a whole package of standard Windows programs is installed, about which the average user simply knows nothing. Some standard programs can be found in the menu - Start All programs . Next we open the sections:, Service Standard , and further, Service Special abilities . Some programs are intended for specialists and access to these programs can only be done through the command line or through the command “».
Execute . Some programs are intended for specialists and access to these programs can only be done through the command line or through the command “ Using the command "
» You can quickly launch programs, open files and folders, and navigate to websites when your computer is connected to the Internet. . Some programs are intended for specialists and access to these programs can only be done through the command line or through the command “ To run the command "
", you can use one of the following methods:
All that remains is to enter the name of the program to launch it

Application- complex interrelated programs for creating and modifying objects (documents), as well as for managing objects of a certain type.
All programs can be divided into two groups - standard (or built-in) and additional.
Standard programs are part of the Windows operating system itself (WordPad text editor, Paint graphics editor, virtual calculator and much more). They are very diverse and allow you to work with texts, images, music and sounds, scan, print and even play, as well as test your computer and optimize its operation.
Additional programs - These are those programs that are purchased and installed independently, in addition to the standard Windows package.
To enter the standard programs, run the command Start/Programs/Accessories, and then specify the name of the desired program:
|
Program Notebook is a fairly simple text editor for working with small files (up to 40 KB), usually in the format *.txt. Text editor - a program designed for creating, editing and viewing text documents. Text editor Notepad takes little time random access memory, and therefore it is convenient to use for keeping short notes, notes, editing batch files, as well as for exchanging text fragments between separate applications using the clipboard. Notepad provides limited means for document design; for example, in this program you cannot use various fonts for individual parts of a text document, but you can change the font type, size and style throughout the entire document. Save a Notepad document, like a document of any other Windows application, can be accessed using the menu command FILE = Save or FILE = Save as. The Notepad program is convenient to use for logging records with automatic indication of the date of their creation.
The Windows calculator is used to perform relatively simple calculations and works much the same as a regular pocket calculator. The Windows calculator has memory for storing intermediate calculation results. There are two calculator options on Windows: Normal and Engineering. Switching between these modes is done using menu commands VIEW in the program window Calculator .
Engineering The calculator, in addition, allows you to calculate typical mathematical functions and perform fairly complex, such as statistical, calculations. The results of the calculator's calculations can be copied to the Clipboard. In addition, you can paste numerical data from the clipboard into the display line of the calculator for use in subsequent calculations using the calculator. You can perform calculations using the mouse by clicking on the corresponding buttons on the calculator panel - numbers, operators, etc., or using the keyboard by pressing the keys that coincide with the calculator buttons shown on the screen. Detailed information about all the functions of conventional and engineering calculators can be obtained using the item "?" in line horizontal menu calculator windows.
WordPad program is a modern, relatively simple word processor. The WordPad word processor has many more features than the Notepad editor. WordPad replaces the Write editor that was included with earlier Windows versions. Word processors, in addition to performing the main functions of text editors for creating and editing text documents, perform another function - formatting documents. Formatting - processing documents using multiple font sets, using text alignment methods, embedding Text Document objects of a different nature, such as drawings, as well as control over the flow of text around graphics.
The WordPad program supports the technology of inserting and embedding objects, and when exchanging data between WordPad applications it can be like server(source) and client(receiver). Although WordPad is notably inferior to the more powerful word processor Word, it can be widely used for creating documents containing formatted text, clipboard-pasted graphics, spreadsheets, and charts created in Excel. In addition, WordPad allows you to develop presentations with multimedia elements, including connecting audio, showing slides and even small videos.
The program allows you to set automatic word hyphenation, drag selected fragments in the document with the mouse, use context menus, provides a variety of options for formatting text and improving the appearance of a document, for example, the ability to set not only the font type and size, but also the color of any character or an entire piece of text, etc. WordPad allows you to open and save files in three main formats:
1 in text format MS DOS- no formatting;
2 in tbext format RTF- with individual formatting elements;
3 in format Word 6.0- with a wide range of formatting elements. WordPad also allows you to open files with the extension .wri - documents created in a text editor previous versions Windows Write. The word processor WordPad and the Paint program discussed below are single-window applications.
Program Paint- a relatively simple graphic editor that is included with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. The Paint program allows you to create and edit arbitrary drawings, diagrams, drawings, diagrams, inscriptions, insert and edit ready-made objects created in other applications. Objects created in Paint can be saved as desktop wallpaper. Paint is an editor raster type: a graphic image in it is built from individual points - pixels. Except raster editors, graphic editors are also used to create graphic objects vector type. Vector images exist in the form of a set of mathematical formulas (graphic primitives) that describe the individual elements of the drawing. Vector graphics is easily scaled without loss of image quality, whereas when the raster pattern is enlarged, the outlines can take on a rough step-like character due to the increase in the size of the pixels that make it up. Vector-type editors include a graphic editor built into Microsoft applications Office (Word, Excel), program Corel DRAW! etc. Some programs, for example Adobe Photoshop, when processing images, they allow you to combine raster and vector methods.
Drawings created in Paint can be:
1 save as files of various formats (see below);
2 print (using the menu command FILE= Print);
3 insert into documents created using other applications, such as Word-Pad, Word, Excel, etc.;
4 use as Windows wallpaper(background for the desktop surface) - using the appropriate menu commands FILE .
Drawings can be saved in one of four formats (*.bmp):
in the form of a black and white image;
as a 16-color drawing. This format has an extremely limited color gamut, but the file takes up little disk space;
in the form of a 256-color drawing. The file takes up twice as much disk space as if saved in 16-color format;
as a 24-bit image. This format provides the most high quality color reproduction, but the files take up a lot of disk space. You can learn more about drawing techniques, the purpose and capabilities of individual graphics editor tools using the help subsystem of the Paint program.
The Address Book is a convenient place to store contact information so you can easily query it from programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, and NetMeeting. Here you can search for people and organizations, create groups of contacts for mail distribution, and send and receive electronic business cards.
To open your address book, click When installing an operating system, by default a whole package of standard Windows programs is installed, about which the average user simply knows nothing. Some standard programs can be found in the menu and select teams Start , Service And The address book .
Using the command line
MS-DOS (stands for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is a command line operating system used on personal computers. As in others operating systems For example, in OS/2, MS-DOS converts keyboard input into commands, organizes actions such as writing and reading from disks, displaying, keyboard control, and many other internal operations that allow programs to run and files to be organized.
MS-DOS commands are entered in the Command Prompt window. To end the MS-DOS session, enter exit in the command line window at the position of the flickering cursor.
MS-DOS mode is a shell that emulates the MS-DOS environment on 32-bit systems such as Windows. MS-DOS programs can run under Windows and also create a program description file (PIF) that appears as a shortcut on the desktop.
To sync offline items:
1.Start Synchronization Manager.
2.Check the boxes next to autonomous elements that should be synchronized, for example next to the connected network drive or a web page available offline in Internet Explorer.
3.Press the button Synchronization .
Using this wizard, you can configure compatibility settings that can solve problems with programs that worked correctly in previous versions of Windows. Warning: We do not recommend using this wizard for older antivirus programs, backup programs, or system programs.
