First Thing You Install After Windows

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

Manny Calavera, it's better to get freeware from a site directly.  After all it's free & 0% chance of file corruption & newest available versions

Which is exactly what i meant.

I like to install my registry cleaners first, and then just clean before and after installing anything else, anal i know but hey it works for me

and remember when its all done, Defragment then create a system restore point

When i was using winMe i did this once every couple of months, now on Xp pro and doing it every 4-6 months.

The first things I install is drivers for all my software as they are often better then what XP used during installation. Then it's the BT internet software followed by AVG and zone alarm. Next K-lite and there rest well, I install when needed.

What? You just do it for fun?

That's dumb!!

No, I don't do it for fun.

I do it because I don't have the money to buy the programs I like. I understand the amount of work put into making these programs, and that just by me downloadin it I have ripped off the software company. Re-selling pirated software is just immoral.
