Ninite

There are loads of small apps you have to install when you get a new PC, or reformat your old one, including your favorite browser, chat software, and various utilities. With Ninite, you can install them all in one click and save yourself hours of tedium.

Go to the Ninite website [  http://ninite.com/  ], choose your favorites by clicking checkboxes, and then download your own customized installer that places all those software picks on your new machine.

What to choose from this load of freebies? Might we suggest Dropbox, the easiest file synchronizer in the world? In addition to that, all the usual suspects are there, including Adobe Flash, Thunderbird, Firefox, Skype, Security Essentials and even iTunes. Out of 81 choices, there’s bound to be a few in there you’ll need. One click and you’re done.

By the way, Ninite’s install routine doesn’t surreptitiously add any of those pesky toolbars or any other junkware. Try it out — you’ll love it.
