Your Windows Basics
These are a list of programs that will help your computer become quicker and cleaner and will help you replace those big and slow programs like Adobe Reader. These will be in no particular order but I will give a link and explain them as best I can.

Spyware Doctor - Link
In my experience, this is one of the best at actually getting rid of most of your threats. It will find things that the majority of spyware programs will miss. It's removal skills come at a price and that is the disk size. It will take 16.27MB compared to Adaware with 6.28MB.

Adaware SE - Link
For a lighter, still impressive, spyware remover, you can't go wrong with Adaware. Again, this will run you about 6.28MB.

Tuneup Utilities 2006 - Link
A lot of people don't have a basic cleaner on their computer and you should. This will help get rid of all your excess files that you don't need and help you save some space. It also fixes your registry, will compact it, and get you running a little more quickly. 18.50MBs.

WinASO Registry Optimizer - Link
In case you want to clean your registry a little more, this will get the job done. It also has a lighter disk cleaner that will clean your Firefox/IE caches with it. This will only cost you 7MBs of space.

PerfectDisk 7 - Link
People will run spyware scans frequently but a lot of people forget about defragmenting their computers. This will help your computer run a lot more smoothly and can even schedule to defrag when you want. A small 4.88MB.

µTorrent - Link
This is most likely going to depend on your preference but this is the smallest BitTorrent program I have found that does the job and does it well. Only going to run you .23MB.

7zip - Link
Most people stick with WinZip or the basic Windows zipping. No good. While I love WinRAR and would still suggest that, 7zip covers all the frequent file types, compresses better, and is smaller. 7zip will run you 2.89MB.

AVG Free - Link
Probably the best choice for virus protection out there right now. And it's free. This will run you about 25MB if I'm correct.

CD Burner XP - Link
A good alternative for those of you that don't want Nero's bulky software. 25.75MB but compared to Nero's 100+...you save a lot.

DVD Shrink - Link
For those of you that burn DVDs, this will get the job done...the majority of the time. While you might run into some problems, in which case try to copy with AnyDVD, this is the overall better package. This will only run you 1.54MB.

Firefox - Link
Everyone probably knows the story here but it's a good browser. While those of you with Windows XP might like the new IE7 Beta, this is a good alternative away from Internet Explorer. Around 4.9MB according to the Firefox website. My computer shows 19.57MB.

Thunderbird - Link
Good alternative away from Microsoft Outlook. All the basic features and more including spam blocker (which works great) and phishing filter. 23.08MB.

Gaim - Link
For those of you who have multi-IM programs. This is the best I have found and has great features. Version 2 has features like Direct Connection and is promised to have things like video/voice chat but as of now it's a great, lightweight alternative to opening all those programs. Especially for those of you who have them all launch at startup. 13.70MB which is only 2MB over AIM itself.

Notepad2 - Link
Just for those of you who want a little more from Notepad. Not a big deal really.

OpenOffice - Link
This is your alternative to Microsoft Office. It's a free version by the people who distribute Java and it works really well. It is quite heavy at 225MB but it's a free version of Office. Not too bad.

Quicktime Alternative - Link
This will let you get rid of that huge Quicktime and will takes it place. It lets you do pretty much everything you could with Quicktime but it's smaller. A lot smaller. Only .79MB compared to Quicktime at 66.68MB. You be the judge.

Real Alternative - Link
Just like the Quicktime Alternative, this is the version for Real. Only 15.07MB WITH the Media Player Classic installed. No need for it and would probably cut down on size a lot.

Foxit Reader - Link
For those of you who have ever had to use Adobe Reader. Instead of stalling your machine and wasting hard drive space, this alternative will launch nearly instantly and only cost you 2.58MB. Top quality.

Windows Media Player 11 - Link
Here, again, is a choice based on preference. Those of you with XP and looking for a little more visual media player experience, the beta of WMP11 is your best bet. It looks nice, plays nice, and overall a good experience. Not sure on the exact size but I'd say around 25MB.

iTunes - Link
While iTunes is going to have to stay for those of you with an iPod, I'd say WMP11 still has a better experience.

If you stick with a lot of these programs, you will get some quicker, lighter, and overall better experiences with some of your most frequent programs. If I find some more later, I'll pass them on or if you have any requests of programs that you'd like an alternative to, I'd be happy to look.

Actually, I think MetaPad is the best Notepad alternative in existence today. Many features, but small enough to be used for simple HTML coding, or note-taking, and it's also free, so it's an alternative to MS Word, et. al. - Link

But nice list, DS, thanks!

Going to have to change my suggestion for anti-virus to NOD32. AVG is good and it would be an excellent choice, but NOD32 is smaller, quicker, and gets rid of more in my opinion.

Also, if you are looking for a replacement for Paint, I would suggest Paint.NET. It's got much more features then the original and doesn't take up much more space. Full of features and overly great.

Links for both:
NOD32
NOD32 - Demonoid Torrent
Paint.NET

Hey DS do you have a Windows XP keygen handy? My mom's PC is about to expire from not registering Windows and the CD key that we bought has been "used too many times" (Twice) Windows XP Home SP2 if that makes a difference.

Add up CCleaner to the list. It's another system optimization tool that will get rid of the crap on your computer. I had always used TuneUp Utilities and kept it when I tried other programs but this is the first one that made me feel like there was no use for TuneUp.

These aren't necessarily programs but here are a few good tips to speed up your boot time. First, defrag and scan for spyware/viruses. It might not shave seconds off your time but it will help with the further steps. Plus it just keeps your computer running more smoothly.

Cleaning your startup folder:
Go to Start > Program Files > Startup and delete anything you don't need to run right at start up. I have Gaim and NOD32 loading at boot and that is all.

Clean what isn't showing in the "Startup" folder:
Go to Start > Run > "msconfig" > Startup tab. Again, go through and uncheck everything you don't want to start at boot. Depending what you have loading this should shave about 15-20 seconds off your boot.

Turn off those unneeded services:
This also uses the "msconfig" so follow the steps above to get there and click on the "Services" tab. Click the option to not show Windows services. We will get to those later. The tricky part here is to find the services you use and those you don't. Uncheck all the services you don't think you use. I have all mine off except those that are used by NOD32 (antivirus) and PerfectDisk (defragment). Next thing we are going to do is turn off some of those Microsoft services. Go to Start > Run > "services.msc". Here is a good list of services that you can read through and see if you need. Disable all the others you don't. Should get you a good 9 seconds.

Clean that prefetch:
Go to C:\Windows\Prefetch and delete everything. A quick deletion shortcut to bypass the recycling bin is to press Shift + Delete. You won't need to restore these. Then go to Start > Run > "regedit" and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters and find "EnablePrefetcher" on thr right panel. Right click and select modify. If you set it to 2 you only prefecth boot items, 3 will do boot items and applications. Set it to 3 and close regedit. It is recommended that you restart your computer 2 or 3 times now to allow windows to rebuild the prefetch without all those unneeded programs loading. Should get about 7 seconds.

Get rid of your boot screen:
There is really no need for it. Go to Start > Run > msconfig > BOOT.INI tab and select the "/NOBOOTGUI" and close. Restart whenever. Another 2 seconds here.

These are just a few things to cut down on having to wait for your computer to load and you should be able to tell a difference if it drives you nuts trying to wait for your computer to load. Hope this helps.

I think the link gives a good enough description and good recommendation on which ones to turn off. If you're not sure, leave it be. You should be able to turn a few off and get a good performance boost.

Foobar2000 - Link
Foobar2000 is a media player that supports nearly all file types, customizable keyboard hotkeys, instant loading, and some of the most advanced features you will find in any media player. It also includes a converter that allows you to convert nearly all choices. At only 4.27MB it's at least worth a look but be warned that it can all be very overwhelming at first.

For a quick rundown on media players:
Best GUI & Interface: Windows Media Player 11
Best iPod support: iTunes
Best user control: Foobar2000

Download a torrent with a keygen in it. They usually work.

Also, I would like to try and persuade everyone to switch to Foobar2000. It's the best media player I've ever used.
