I copy wallpapers from my wallpaper folder to the default DesktopBackground folder (I get most of my wallpapers from wallpaperhub.app) I copy over my folder of git repositories which takes longer than it should due to node_modules folders. I copy over everything from Dropbox from the old drive. Optional features can be added with “Turn Windows features on or off.” I add Windows Sandbox, Virtual Machine Platform, and (#Windows Subsystem for Linux). I boost my microphone and change headphone equalizer settings. If necessary, I use ShellMenuView to edit the right-click context menu. I changed it to Folder, signed out and back in, and things worked again. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder in regedit had (Default) set as pdf_auto_file. I ran into a weird bug where I couldn’t create new folders. I like my taskbar to use small buttons and never combine, and for multiple monitors, show on main taskbar and taskbar where window is open.

Some of these programs are on Chocolatey but I prefer to install them manually. Note that I install my password manager separately, checking the hashes manually. Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 vcredist2019.NVIDIA Profile Inspector nvidia-profile-inspector.LibreOffice Fresh libreoffice-fresh Not working at the moment.Bulk Rename Utility bulk-rename-utility.Bulk Crap Uninstaller bulk-crap-uninstaller.Note that git has to be installed before everything else. The Scoop name for installing is next to the main software name. I’ve categorized the programs I install with Scoop here in no particular order. I’ve found that Chocolatey doesn’t clean up as easily so I try not to install too many things with it. Things that I can’t find on Scoop, I use Chocolatey. I just added two shortcuts to the Program Files folder that I created on the desktop - the first to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Scoop Apps and the second to C:\Users\USERNAME\scoop\apps To make it easier to associate files with Scoop-installed programs, I saw that the “open with” context menu item points to C:\Program Files. Scoop doesn’t automatically add things to the context menu, which I like since my context menu tends to get too cluttered. After install, do a scoop install git and then use scoop bucket add to add the buckets extras, nonportable, nirsoft, and java. Then I use Scoop to install almost everything else.
#Chocolatey bandizip update#
I’m planning to update this article over the next few days, as I run into issues and remember more programs to install. I put the old SSD in a Sabrent USB enclosure for convenient access to backed-up files.
In general, before a major hardware change, I back up everything if possible. Here I’ll list the programs I install as well as the configuration steps I perform. Welcome to my Windows setup! Recently I reinstalled Windows on a higher-capacity Samsung SSD, removing the old one. Update: I recently got a new laptop - going through the same process again so some items will change
