To better the chance of success with the reload of my system, I am writing a ‘script’ of procedures for myself to follow. I have started with a fairly extensive list of the applications I use now that I would like to re-install in addition to a few other apps I am using to replace some I was unhappy with.
So here is my application install list so far to install on Windows XP:
- Firefox 1.5 – Web browser

- Session Saver Extension
- SnapBack Tab Extension
- Sage RSS Reader Extension

- VLC Player – Great media file player
- Azureus – Bittorrent Client
- Requires JRE
- TextPad – Programming and Text file editing
- Quickbooks – Tracking finances
- DC++ – File sharing for non-U.S.-licensed Anime
- Creative Zen Touch Software – MP3 player
- Creative Zen Vision Software – Portable Media Player
- ConquerCam – WebCam
- WinZip – Archiving
- WinRAR – More Archiving
- Quick VCD Player – VCD Player
- Konfabulator (?) – Widget engine (may not reinstall, can use a lot of resources at times.)

- Adobe Acrobat – PDFs
- Eclipse – Developement Environment
