List of standard programs on the computer, Microsoft Office

How much Microsoft would not try to improve its operating system, but a clean OS can not be used as you want, but only under very limited conditions, for example, at work, where any programs are prohibited or there are no rights to it. If you are not a programmer, 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.

File manager and archiver

After installing the drivers, you need to install the Total Commander file manager. The program provides convenient access to your file system. It replaces the standard, many favorite Windows Explorer. Now it's more convenient to change, move and copy files. Starting the file manager starts working with the computer. With an archive format such as .rar, Microsoft Windows does not know how to work by default. Even despite its prevalence. In Russia, the WinRAR shell is adopted. It supports all archive formats, including .zip. It is built into your operating system, as a result it gets the ability to work with all archives from the standard context menu in Explorer. This utility is included with honor in the list of standard programs. It is paid. There is a free alternative - 7-zip. It also has all the necessary functions, but you can not pack it in .rar.

Antivirus and alternative browser

Antivirus is necessary on each computer. In addition, this is the only program that your device needs. Buy it and live peacefully. Versions of the paid file relieve the search for signature databases and updated keys. At us are distributed: Eset NOD32, Kaspersky Antivirus and DrWeb. Choose and use, but remember that 100% protection does not exist. Antivirus heads the list of standard programs. Moreover, there are also good free ones: Comodo Antivirus, Avira, Avast and AVG. There is also a version with the corporate version - Symantec Endpoint Protection. This is a paid good defender device, the corporate version of which does not require keys, it is updated, it 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 the Windows browser, then update it to the latest version.

A program that burns discs and reads PDF files

DVD-drives are now used less often than before, but so far installed on almost every computer. The discs are recorded with the Nero Burning ROM program, paid. You can use free of charge - 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. PDF - the most common format of instructions, books and documentation. Without this special program, a file of this standard can not be opened.

Skype, ICQ Messenger - programs for advanced users

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 fully functional. Skype is a free program for communicating through the Internet all over the world. Supports chat, voice and video. Is indispensable for communication. For its normal operation, you need a microphone, headphones and a camera. Also on both computers must be installed Skype. Allows to call and mobile, landline phones, but not free. The list of standard Windows programs includes the popular ICQ client. It is a little bit outdated, but nevertheless many users install it on their devices using old memory. You can exchange free messages, support high-quality video chat, cheap phone calls. That is, you can keep in touch with your friends. Instead of cumbersome ICQ, we recommend installing the QIP client.

Mail client, audio and video player, password manager

To check the mail, a person visits the site, for example Yandex.ru, and looks "Inbox." There are many programs that are much more convenient to use, especially if you have several mailboxes. The utility connects to the required server and downloads all mail to the computer. It can then be viewed without delay, switching quickly between the boxes. You can recommend Mozilla Thunderbird or The Bat. Also good is Microsoft Outlook. In the list of standard programs on your PC, we recommend that you include separate video and audio players. Unfortunately, they can not be combined in one utility so that everyone likes it, despite all the efforts of developers.

Recommended video players: VLC Player, Light Alloy, GOM Player and Zoom Player. For audio: AIMP or WinAmp. Over time, you will need to remember or write a lot of passwords, so we recommend using one of two password managers: LastPass or RoboForm. Programs store passwords and store on the server. They can be used from different places, on completely different computers.

In conclusion - a list of standard Microsoft Office programs

Such programs solve a wide variety of tasks and are therefore needed in varying degrees for everyone, regardless of their profession. Recently, they are called office. The standards of such software are set by Microsoft Corporation. The current Office package runs fast on all Windows devices. It includes Lync, Publisher, Access, OneNote, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. This software makes it convenient to work in a text editor, with spreadsheets, in the business graphics editor, in the presentation preparation program, in the desktop publishing system, in the database management system, and prepare visual presentations. Your personal dispatcher is now Outlook, which includes an address book, a weekly journal, a diary, an e-mail to communicate with the outside world, and performs other necessary functions. You can write a lot about Microsoft Office. But if you once fork out for its acquisition, you will get a very good, irreplaceable assistant.
