Get it light with Ninite

Posted by Mike Charlie


If you've just installed Windows (XP/Vista/7) and you're thinking, "now I have to install all my programs one by one... If only I had a way to do it automatically!"

Of course, I'm not talking about major software such as Office, Photoshop, etc. which you have to patiently install from scratch. I mean smaller freeware stuff that you must have on your brand new system (AVG, Messenger, Skype, 7Zip, etc, etc)


Well, the answer is Ninite (formerly Volery). Basically, all you need to do is choose the apps you want, create an installer and go drink some coffee. When you come back, everything is installed and ready to run. It even answers those "Do you also want to install a fancy toolbar?" questions by saying "No" for you.


The installer downloads all the software and install is one by one. It's that simple and a big time saver!


Best of all: it's free for personal use!


The only glitch: You might not find every piece of software you want but acording to Ninite, the list will continue to grow (you can even leave app suggestions to be considered in the future)
