Standard computer programs list. What standard programs should be on the computer? Using the command line
To view the list of standard programs, you need to enter the menu "Start", select item "All programs", and find the group in it "Standard". If an operating system has just been installed on the computer, but no programs have been installed yet, then standard programs can help the user out for the first time, because they are always present in the system from the moment Windows installation. Standard text editors.
Windows has two standard text editors: Notepad and WordPad. In a programme "Notebook" simple text files are created. The text is typed in the working area of the program, and then saved to any desired address on the hard disk with the command File->Save.
Picture 1.
Notepad files have the extension .txt. In addition to simple text files, Notepad can be used to view and edit configuration files various programs ( .ini, .inf), as well as to view the code of web pages ( .html). To open a file "Notepad" Select "Open with" from the context menu of the file. If the submenu that opens contains an item "Notebook", it is enough just to specify it. If this item does not exist, then the item should be specified. "Select program". Next, in the window that appears, you need to open the drop-down list "Other Programs" and choose "Notebook".
Figure 2.
If Notepad is not in this list, then you need to click the button "Review". In order to select a program using the browse, you need to know exactly at what address on the hard disk the file with the right program. All standard programs are located at the same address: C:\Windows. Program file "Notebook" called notepad.exe. After these steps desired file opens in workspace Notepad.
Figure 3
Despite the simplicity "Notebook" has a number of useful features. For example, the text search function. To find the desired word or part of the word in a large array of text, you must select the menu "Edit" command "Find". In the window that opens, you need to enter the search word or part of the word and click the button "Find next". "Notebook" will find in turn all cases of matching the search pattern in the text and highlight them with a blue background. Search can be case-sensitive (that is, distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters) and case-insensitive.

At text editor WordPad features more. It allows you to use different fonts, insert pictures. WordPad can work with files of the following types:
- .txt - simple Text Document;
- .rtf - generic text format to exchange data between different text editors;
- .docx - MS Office document;
- .odt - package text document open office or Libre Office (often used under Linux OS).
To change the file format, you need to specify the command File->Save As and in the window that opens, select desired type file in the combo box "File type".

Graphic editor Paint
Graphic paint editor allows you to easily edit existing graphic images and create new drawings. Paint has a modest set of tools that can't be compared to the toolsets in professional design programs like Phptoshop, InkScape, CorelDraw. However, it quite allows you to draw quite complex objects. Paint supports several different graphic extensions:
- .png is a graphic format that supports lossless compression;
- .jpeg is a graphic format that supports lossy compression. When we re-save files in this format, we inevitably degrade their quality;
- .tiff is a graphic format for storing images with a large color depth;
- .gif is a graphic format that supports lossless compression and a palette of no more than $256$ colors.
If you have a scanner connected to your computer, Paint can be used to get a scanned image.

Other standard programs
In addition to the listed editors, among the standard programs there are many more useful applications.
Figure 8
- Connecting to a projector and a remote projector will allow you to display your computer screen on a wall screen for a large audience.
- Remote Desktop Connection allows you to manage, without getting up from your seat, a computer that can be as far away from the user as you like. For example, you can manage your computer at work from home. This is possible provided that connection access is open on the remote computer and the computer is turned on.
operating room Windows system has a whole arsenal of simple and not only built-in programs that are not a sin to use in the absence of more professional analogues, and for novice PC users who have just started their journey in the world of high computer technology, they will be a good platform for starting and learning. Using standard programs, you can draw, type text documents, communicate by e-mail, watch movies and listen to music.
1. Task Manager
Task Manager is used to display the main performance indicators of the computer. It displays information about programs and processes running on the computer. For running programs, you can view their status and terminate programs that stop responding. In addition, if your computer is connected to a network, you can view the network status and settings.
In order to launch the Windows Task Manager, you need to press three buttons at the same time - Ctrl + Alt + Del. This will bring up the program window.
2. Check disk
During the operation of the PC, sometimes malfunctions may occur as software (including operating system), and equipment (for example, during a banal power outage). As a result, errors may occur in file system- this is when information about a particular file or directory ceases to correspond to reality.
3. Disk Cleanup
Free space tends to shrink even on the most capacious hard drives. Therefore, you should ensure that there is always enough free space. This problem is partly solved by the Disk Cleanup program, which quite successfully copes with the obviously unnecessary contents of your hard drive.
A number of programs, in particular Microsoft Internet Explorer, waste a lot of disk space for storing various temporary files. Temporary files are also created when installing new programs, as well as when running already installed ones. As a rule, such files are written to a specially allocated folder for this - TEMP, located in the Windows directory. Theoretically, the program that puts files there should delete them, but in practice this does not always happen.
You can call the disk cleanup program from the main windows menu(All Programs->Accessories->Utilities), or, like checking, from the context menu of the disk. In the first case, you will first be prompted to select the disk you plan to clean up. Then the actual cleaning program window will open.
4. Disk defragmentation
Another way to improve computer performance is to defragment the disk. Since the file subsystem divides the disk into clusters into which files fit, it is quite reasonable to assume that as the file size grows, it will occupy more and more clusters. It's good if there is free place, but often this is not the case. As a result, different parts of the file are scattered over the entire surface of the disk. Such files are called fragmented. There is nothing wrong with this, in principle, since the system has information about the location of all parts of the file, but the time required to read a fragmented file takes much more.
In order to collect files into a single whole, the defragmentation program is intended. If you run it from the main menu, then first you will have to select a drive from the list for defragmentation. If you use the disk context menu and call the defragmenter program from the Tools tab, the disk will already be selected. Then you can immediately start defragmentation, or analyze the need for it using analysis (it allows you to find out the degree of file fragmentation).
5. Backup disk
One way to protect important information from loss is its regular archiving, or, as it is more commonly called, backup. To do this, Windows provides a special program - Data Archiving. Like the two previous utilities, it can be called from the Tools tab of the disk properties or found in the main menu among utilities.
The backup program in Windows is made in the form of a wizard. After the welcome screen, the user will be prompted to choose an action - backup or restore from the archive. Leaving archiving checked, you should click next to select the objects to archive. Since copying the entire contents of a disk is usually not advisable, you should select specific files and directories for this important procedure. Most often, the main candidates for Reserve copy are the My Documents folder and possibly some others where the user saves their work. It is this option - archiving a folder with documents, a desktop and files related to working on the Internet, that the archiving wizard offers.
6. System recovery
Another utility for recovering lost information is the System Restore service. Its fundamental difference from archiving is that it “saves” the settings of the OS itself, including installed drivers devices, hardware profiles, etc. To ensure this functionality, Windows regularly creates restore points, starting with the first start of the system after it is installed on the computer. In addition, you can create a checkpoint yourself using the same recovery wizard.
To restore your computer to an earlier state, by running the Restore Wizard, make sure that the correct item is selected. Then you need to click next. After that, in the calendar, select the day on which the system was fully operational (days with restore points are marked in bold) and click next. Now the recovery point is selected, but the recovery process itself has not yet begun: before starting the recovery, you must close all files and programs! After making sure that all programs and files are closed and the desired restore point is selected, click Next. After a while, the computer will restart with the settings that existed at the time the checkpoint was created. In this case, all documents created by the user, of course, will remain in their place.
7. Character table
Sometimes there is a need to enter into a text document a character that is not on the keyboard itself. In this case, a special program is useful - the Symbol Table. With it, you can select any character from those available in the font. To do this, either specify the desired symbol and press Enter, or double-click on it with the mouse. If you click only once or move through the table using the arrows, the currently selected character will be displayed enlarged in its own window.
The program emulates a real calculator. It has 2 modes of operation - normal and engineering. The first provides the simplest set of operations on numbers. The second one has different mathematical functions. Calculations can be carried out in binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal number systems. In the decimal number system, it works with degrees, radians and gradients. The calculator can calculate trigonometric functions, natural and decimal logarithms, factorial, any degree. There are statistics (Sta) of calculations, which can sometimes be very useful. Of course, there is also ordinary memory (M+, MR, etc.). It can display the exact value of Pi (Pi) on the screen. There are built-in tools to improve accuracy. Thus, if you divide 1 by 3, and then multiply the resulting number by 3, then you get exactly one, and not 0.99999. In addition, 32-digit numbers can be entered into the calculator! This is not your ordinary calculator with 10 - 18 digits.
Much has been written about this program. They said that it does not have many necessary functions, such as syntax highlighting of programming languages, translation of encodings, etc. However, so far, many users have not made themselves a replacement for Notepad. Unfortunately, the program has very limited functions, such as word wrapping, inserting work time (for this you need to have a .LOG entry in the first line of the file or press F5) and. all. The program can work with files no larger than 64 KB (in Windows, starting with XP, you can work with files of any size). However, it loads even on the weakest machines almost instantly, does not require installation.
A small graphics package included with Windows for handling raster graphics. The program is designed for beginners. It has the following tools: eraser, fill, pencil, brush, sprayer, inscription, line, curve, rectangle, polygon, ellipse, rounded rectangle. There are no filters. It can do minimal technical actions - stretching, scaling, reflection, inverting colors. At a scale of more than 400%, it can display a pixel grid. Can overlay inscriptions without any special effects. The program is not suitable for professional work. Usually used to create graphics. CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator, and for processing - Adobe Photoshop.
WordPad is a small editor that, unlike Notepad, is capable of small text formatting, for example, you can make text italic and bold, create lists, and set alignment. It is possible to insert objects using other programs (drawings, sound recordings, etc.) Can process files larger than 64 KB. The main big disadvantage of this program is the lack of tables. In the presence of Microsoft Word users rarely use WordPad.
12. Clipboard
This utility is used to view the contents of the clipboard. You can clean it if necessary. It is possible to save and open clipboard files (*.clp).

In this chapter, we'll take a look at the standard Windows 7 programs, which have always received little attention, although the programs are quite useful. Standard programs are placed in the program group All Programs => Standard. You must have worked with previous versions Windows and used some programs. So in Windows 7, many standard programs have been improved, and you will be pleased to notice the changes that are "obvious" in this version of Windows. Description of standard programs is given in the table.
Notepad and WordPad. Text editors
Windows 7 has two text editors, but neither is suitable for editing complex documents. In other words, you cannot do without an office suite. The Notepad text editor has remained unchanged, while the WordPad word processor has been slightly modified. However, the changes mainly affected the graphical interface. Now WordPad looks like MS Office 2007, but its functionality is very far from MS Word. Although WordPad can format text and insert pictures (that's why it's called a word processor and not a text editor), it still doesn't know how to work with tables.
But the graphic editor Paint not only gained new interface user (in the style of MS Office 2007), but it has also become much more convenient to use. It has new tools (a rather useful Crop tool), and the behavior of the program itself has changed: now graphic files are saved by default in PNG (Portable Network Graphic) format. PNG format provides lossless image compression: merging high quality images and small file size. Previously, the graphics editor used the BMP format - the quality was high, but the file size was the same. In Vista, for reasons I didn't understand, Paint by default saved pictures in JPEG format- the file size was small, but the image quality was poor. Now everything is in place - high image quality and low file size. If you wish, you can still save the file in another format: BMP, JPEG, TIFF, or GIF.
Even the Calculator program in Windows 7 has been redesigned! Of course, it didn't get an interface in the style of MS Office 2007. The new calculator has a new mode. Prior to this, there were two modes: Engineering and Normal, in new version appeared modes Programmer and Statistics. Probably, there will be users who will appreciate these modes.
Notes, notes. Electronic stickers in Windows 7
Until now, yellow sticky notes are popular in offices. Wherever users glue them, including on monitors, and then they have to clean the monitor from glue residue and dust.
Various developers offered their programs - electronic analogues of stickers. With the advent of Windows 7, electronic stickers appeared as part of the operating system - this is the Notes program.
If you are going to write an article about Windows setup or another program, you will need a screenshot tool. The Scissors program can cut an arbitrary section of the desktop and save it as graphic file. But if you need to take a screenshot (window shot) of a program, then it's easier to use a keyboard shortcut - the screenshot will be copied to the clipboard. After that, open the Paint program and paste the image into the Paint workspace (using the keys), then save the image in a graphic file.
To take a screenshot of the entire desktop, press the key (without), and then paste the image into Paint or any other graphic editor.
Remote access is a godsend for the administrator. Once set up remote access, you can control the remote computer in the same way as the local one. If you have colleagues who are not very good at configuring their computer, you can connect to their computer and help them - you don't even have to go to their computer, which is very convenient.
- To allow remote computer connect to your computer, follow these steps:
- Select Start => Computer;
- Click the System Properties button;
- Click on the button (on the left) Remote access settings;
- Enable the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication option;
- Click the Select Users button;
- Select users who can connect to your system;
- You can turn off the Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer option - you don't need Remote Assistance in most cases.
The program group Accessories => Utilities contains utilities that can be used to service the system. Description of utility programs is given in the table.

Application- a set of interconnected programs for creating and modifying objects (documents), as well as for managing objects of a certain type.
All programs can be conditionally divided into two groups - standard (or built-in) and additional.
Standard programs operating system Windows
Standard programs are part of the Windows operating system itself (WordPad text editor, Paint graphics editor, virtual calculator, and much more). They are very diverse and allow you to work with texts, images, music and sounds, scan, print and even play, as well as test your computer and optimize its performance.
Additional programs - these are programs that are bought and installed independently, in addition to the standard Windows package.
To enter the standard programs, run the command Start/Programs/Accessories, and then specify the name of the desired program:
Program Notebook is a fairly simple text editor for working with small files (up to 40 KB), usually in the format *.txt. Text editor - a program designed to create, edit and view text documents. Text editor Notepad takes little random access memory, and therefore it is convenient to use it for keeping short notes, notes, editing batch files, as well as for exchanging text fragments between individual applications using the clipboard. Notepad provides limited means for document design; for example, this program cannot apply different fonts to individual parts of a text document, but you can change the font type, size, and style of the entire document. Save Notepad document, like a document of any other Windows application, you can use the menu command FILE = Save or FILE = Save as. It is convenient to use the Notepad program for logging records with automatic indication of the date of their creation.
Windows Calculator used to perform relatively simple calculations and works in much the same way as a conventional pocket calculator. The Windows Calculator has memory for storing intermediate results of calculations. Windows has two calculator options: Normal and Engineering. Switching between these modes is carried out using menu commands. VIEW in the program window Calculator .
Engineering the calculator, in addition, allows you to calculate typical mathematical functions and perform quite complex, for example, statistical calculations. Calculator results can be copied to the Clipboard. In addition, numerical data can be pasted from the clipboard into the display line (scoreboard) of the calculator for use in subsequent calculations using the calculator. You can perform calculations using the mouse by clicking on the corresponding buttons on the calculator panel - numbers, operators, etc., or using the keyboard by pressing the keys that match the calculator buttons shown on the screen. Detailed help about all the functions of a conventional and engineering calculators can be obtained using the item "?" in line horizontal menu calculator window.
WordPad program is a modern, relatively simple word processor. word processor WordPad has many more features than Notepad editor. WordPad replaced the Write editor that came with earlier versions of Windows. Word processors, in addition to performing the basic functions of text editors for creating and editing text documents, perform one more function - formatting documents. Formatting is the processing of documents using several font sets, using text alignment methods, embedding objects of a different nature in a text document, such as pictures, and also controlling text flow around graphics.
The WordPad program supports the technology of inserting and embedding objects, and when exchanging data between WordPad applications, it can be either server(source) and client(receiver). Although WordPad is noticeably inferior to the more powerful word processor Word, it can be widely used to create documents containing formatted text, clipboard-pasted graphics, spreadsheets, and charts created in Excel. In addition, WordPad allows you to design presentations with multimedia elements, including audio connection, slide shows, and even short videos.
The program allows you to set automatic word wrapping, drag and drop selected fragments in a document with the mouse, use context menus, provides a variety of options for formatting text and improving the appearance of a document, for example, the ability to set not only the font type and size, but also the color of any character or entire text fragment and others. WordPad allows you to open and save files in three main formats:
1 in text format MS DOS- without formatting;
2 in text format RTF- with separate formatting elements;
3 in format word 6.0- with a wide range of formatting elements. WordPad also allows you to open files with the extension .wri - documents created in a text editor previous versions Windows Write. WordPad word processor and Paint, discussed below, are single-window applications.
Program Paint- a relatively simple graphics editor that is included with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. The Paint program allows you to create and edit arbitrary drawings, diagrams, drawings, diagrams, inscriptions, insert and edit ready-made objects created in other applications. Objects created in Paint can be saved as desktop wallpaper. Paint is an editor raster type: a graphic image in it is built from individual dots - pixels. In addition to raster editors, graphic editors are also used to create graphic objects. vector type. Vector images exist as a set of mathematical formulas (graphic primitives) that describe individual elements of a drawing. Vector graphics are easily scaled without loss of image quality, while when a bitmap image is enlarged, the outlines can take on a rough stepped character due to the increase in the size of its constituent dots. Vector-type editors include a graphics editor built into Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel), a program CorelDRAW! and others. Some programs, for example Adobe Photoshop, when processing images, allow you to combine raster and vector methods.
Drawings created in Paint program, can:
1 save as files of various formats (see below);
2 print (using the menu command FILE= Print);
3 insert into documents created with other applications, such as Word-Pad, Word, Excel, etc.;
4 use as Windows wallpaper (background for the desktop surface) - using the appropriate menu commands FILE .
Pictures can be saved in one of four formats (*.bmp):
as a black and white image;
as a 16 color pattern. This format has an extremely limited color gamut, but the file takes up little disk space;
in the form of a 256-color pattern. The file takes up twice as much disk space as when saved in 16-color format;
as a 24-bit drawing. This format provides the highest color quality, but the files take up a lot of disk space. For more information about drawing techniques, the purpose and capabilities of individual tools of the graphic editor, you can familiarize yourself with the help subsystem of the Paint program.
The Address Book is a convenient place to store contact information so you can easily query it from programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, and NetMeeting. Here you can search for people and organizations, create contact groups for mail distribution, and send and receive electronic business cards.
To open address book, press the button Start and select commands All programs , Standard and The address book .
7 useful programs that improve standard Windows features
These free programs will make your Windows experience faster and more convenient.
Although many years have passed since the appearance of the tiled interface, some still cannot get used to it. That's what the program is for. Classic Shell. It returns to modern versions of the operating system the same start menu that was in Windows 7.
7+ Taskbar Tweaker allows you to take control of the functionality and appearance taskbar. Customize the display of tooltips, window thumbnails, right, left, and middle click behavior on buttons, and more.
Standard file windows manager have long been scolded for the lack of a two-panel interface, which greatly facilitates file operations. Clover partially solves this problem. After installing it, tabs appear in Explorer in which you can open several folders at once.
The built-in system tool for uninstalling programs does not always do its job perfectly. Very often, after it, various tails of the remote one remain. Therefore, we recommend that you use Revo Uninstaller, which thoroughly cleans everything extra files, directories and registry keys.
All keyboard workers need to have an advanced clipboard manager in their arsenal. Dito is one of the best. With it, you can not only remember several selected fragments at once, but also synchronize the contents of the clipboard between different computers.
AquaSnap is a handy utility that makes it easier to manage program windows. After installing it, you have many options for placing them on the screen. And thanks to keyboard shortcuts, you can work with windows without using a mouse.
Windows has hundreds of different options with which you can fine-tune almost any aspect of the behavior and appearance of the OS. However, not all of these settings are available. ordinary users. Many are hidden in the depths of the registry or system utilities. Ultimate Windows Tweaker provides easy access to all the hidden options of the operating system, standard browser and some built-in programs.
Standard Windows 7 programs
To view the list of standard programs, you need to enter the menu "Start", select item "All programs", and find the group in it "Standard". If the operating system has just been installed on the computer, but no programs have been installed yet, then standard programs can help the user out for the first time, because they have always been present in the system since Windows was installed. Standard text editors.
Windows has two standard text editors: Notepad and WordPad. In a programme "Notebook" simple text files are created. The text is typed in the working area of the program, and then saved to any desired address on the hard disk with the command File->Save.
Notepad files have the extension .txt. In addition to simple text files, Notepad can be used to view and edit the configuration files of various programs ( .ini, .inf), as well as to view the code of web pages ( .html). To open a file "Notepad" Select "Open with" from the context menu of the file. If the submenu that opens contains an item "Notebook", it is enough just to specify it. If this item does not exist, then the item should be specified. "Select program". Next, in the window that appears, you need to open the drop-down list "Other Programs" and choose "Notebook".
If Notepad is not in this list, then you need to click the button "Review". In order to select a program using the browse, you need to know exactly at what address on the hard disk the file with the desired program is located. All standard programs are located at the same address: C:\Windows. Program file "Notebook" called notepad.exe. After these steps, the desired file will open in the workspace Notepad.
Despite the simplicity "Notebook" has a number of useful features. For example, the text search function. To find the desired word or part of the word in a large array of text, you must select the menu "Edit" command "Find". In the window that opens, you need to enter the search word or part of the word and click the button "Find next". "Notebook" will find in turn all cases of matching the search pattern in the text and highlight them with a blue background. Search can be case-sensitive (that is, distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters) and case-insensitive.
The WordPad text editor has more options. It allows you to use different fonts, insert pictures. WordPad can work with files of the following types:
- .txt - simple text document;
- .rtf is a universal text format for data exchange between various text editors;
- .docx - MS Office document;
- .odt - a text document of the Open Office or Libre Office package (often used under Linux OS).
To change the file format, you need to specify the command File->Save As and in the window that opens, select the desired file type in the combo box "File type".
Graphic editor Paint allows you to easily edit existing graphics and create new drawings. Paint has a modest set of tools that can't be compared to the toolsets in professional design programs like Phptoshop, InkScape, CorelDraw. However, it quite allows you to draw quite complex objects. Paint supports several different graphic extensions:
- .png is a graphic format that supports lossless compression;
- .jpeg is a graphic format that supports lossy compression. When we re-save files in this format, we inevitably degrade their quality;
- .tiff is a graphic format for storing images with a large color depth;
- .gif is a graphic format that supports lossless compression and a palette of no more than $256$ colors.
If you have a scanner connected to your computer, Paint can be used to get a scanned image.
In addition to the listed editors, among the standard programs there are many more useful applications.
Program "Run" allows you to quickly call up some programs without wasting time searching for their position in the system. For example, you can call the task manager with the taskmgr command. Or use the msconfig command to open the operating system configuration window.
The standard program "Notes" allows you to create electronic stickers with reminders on the screen.
Introduction
The Windows operating system has a whole arsenal of simple and not only built-in programs that are not a sin to use in the absence of more professional analogues, and for novice PC users who have just started their journey in the world of high computer technology, they will be a good platform to start and learn. Using standard programs, you can draw, type text documents, communicate by e-mail, watch movies and listen to music.
1. Task Manager
Task Manager is used to display the main performance indicators of the computer. It displays information about programs and processes running on the computer. For running programs, you can view their status and terminate programs that stop responding. In addition, if your computer is connected to a network, you can view the network status and settings.
In order to launch the Windows Task Manager, you need to press three buttons at the same time - Ctrl + Alt + Del. This will bring up the program window.
2. Check disk
During the operation of the PC, sometimes failures in the operation of both software (including the operating system) and hardware (for example, during a banal power outage) can occur. As a result, errors may occur in the file system - this is when information about a particular file or directory ceases to correspond to reality.
3. Disk Cleanup
Free space tends to shrink even on the most capacious hard drives. Therefore, you should ensure that there is always enough free space. This problem is partly solved by the Disk Cleanup program, which quite successfully copes with the obviously unnecessary contents of your hard drive.
A number of programs, in particular Microsoft Internet Explorer, spend a lot of disk space for storing various temporary files. Temporary files are also created when installing new programs, as well as when running already installed ones. As a rule, such files are written to a specially allocated folder for this - TEMP, located in the Windows directory. Theoretically, the program that puts files there should delete them, but in practice this does not always happen.
You can call the Disk Cleanup program from the main Windows menu (All Programs->Accessories->Utilities), or, like a check, from the context menu of the disk. In the first case, you will first be prompted to select the disk you plan to clean up. Then the actual cleaning program window will open.
4. Disk defragmentation
Another way to improve computer performance is to defragment the disk. Since the file subsystem divides the disk into clusters into which files fit, it is quite reasonable to assume that as the file size grows, it will occupy more and more clusters. It is good if there is free space nearby, but often there is none. As a result, different parts of the file are scattered over the entire surface of the disk. Such files are called fragmented. There is nothing wrong with this, in principle, since the system has information about the location of all parts of the file, but the time required to read a fragmented file takes much more.
In order to collect files into a single whole, the defragmentation program is intended. If you run it from the main menu, then first you will have to select a drive from the list for defragmentation. If you use the disk context menu and call the defragmenter program from the Tools tab, the disk will already be selected. Then you can immediately start defragmentation, or analyze the need for it using analysis (it allows you to find out the degree of file fragmentation).
5. Backup disk
One of the ways to protect important information from loss is to regularly archive it, or, as it is more commonly called, back up. To do this, Windows provides a special program - Data Archiving. Like the two previous utilities, it can be called from the Tools tab of the disk properties or found in the main menu among utilities.
The backup program in Windows is made in the form of a wizard. After the welcome screen, the user will be prompted to choose an action - backup or restore from the archive. Leaving archiving checked, you should click next to select the objects to archive. Since copying the entire contents of a disk is usually not advisable, you should select specific files and directories for this important procedure. Most often, the main candidates for backup are the My Documents folder and possibly some others where the user saves his work. It is this option - archiving a folder with documents, a desktop and files related to working on the Internet, that the archiving wizard offers.
6. System recovery
Another utility for recovering lost information is the System Restore service. Its fundamental difference from archiving is that it “saves” the settings of the OS itself, including installed device drivers, hardware profiles, etc. To ensure this functionality, Windows regularly creates restore points, starting with the first start of the system after it is installed on the computer. In addition, you can create a checkpoint yourself using the same recovery wizard.
To restore your computer to an earlier state, by running the Restore Wizard, make sure that the correct item is selected. Then you need to click next. After that, in the calendar, select the day on which the system was fully operational (days with restore points are marked in bold) and click next. Now the recovery point is selected, but the recovery process itself has not yet begun: before starting the recovery, you must close all files and programs! After making sure that all programs and files are closed and the desired restore point is selected, click Next. After a while, the computer will restart with the settings that existed at the time the checkpoint was created. In this case, all documents created by the user, of course, will remain in their place.
7. Character table
Sometimes there is a need to enter into a text document a character that is not on the keyboard itself. In this case, a special program is useful - the Symbol Table. With it, you can select any character from those available in the font. To do this, either specify the desired symbol and press Enter, or double-click on it with the mouse. If you click only once or move through the table using the arrows, the currently selected character will be displayed enlarged in its own window.
8. Calculator
The program emulates a real calculator. It has 2 modes of operation - normal and engineering. The first provides the simplest set of operations on numbers. The second one has various mathematical functions. Calculations can be carried out in binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal number systems. In the decimal number system, it works with degrees, radians and gradients. The calculator can calculate trigonometric functions, natural and decimal logarithms, factorial, any degree. There are statistics (Sta) of calculations, which can sometimes be very useful. Of course, there is also ordinary memory (M+, MR, etc.). It can display the exact value of Pi (Pi) on the screen. There are built-in tools to improve accuracy. Thus, if you divide 1 by 3, and then multiply the resulting number by 3, you get exactly one, and not 0.99999 ... In addition, 32-digit numbers can be entered into the calculator! This is not your ordinary calculator with 10 - 18 digits.
9. Notepad
Much has been written about this program. They said that it does not have many necessary functions, such as syntax highlighting of programming languages, translation of encodings, etc. However, so far, many users have not made themselves a replacement for Notepad. Unfortunately, the program has very limited functions, such as word wrapping, inserting work time (to do this, you need to have a .LOG entry in the first line of the file or press F5) and ... that's it. The program can work with files no larger than 64 KB (in Windows, starting with XP, you can work with files of any size). However, it loads even on the weakest machines almost instantly, does not require installation.
10. Paint
A small graphics package included with Windows for handling raster graphics. The program is designed for beginners. It has the following tools: eraser, fill, pencil, brush, sprayer, inscription, line, curve, rectangle, polygon, ellipse, rounded rectangle. There are no filters. It can do minimal technical actions - stretching, scaling, reflection, inverting colors. At a scale of more than 400%, it can display a pixel grid. Can overlay inscriptions without any special effects. The program is not suitable for professional work. To create graphics, they usually use CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator, and for processing - Adobe Photoshop.
11.Wordpad
WordPad is a small editor that, unlike Notepad, is capable of small text formatting, for example, you can make text italic and bold, create lists, and set alignment. It is possible to insert objects using other programs (drawings, sound recordings, etc.) Can process files larger than 64 KB. The main big disadvantage of this program is the lack of tables. With Microsoft Word available, users rarely use WordPad.
12. Clipboard
This utility is used to view the contents of the clipboard. You can clean it if necessary. It is possible to save and open clipboard files (*.clp).

No matter how much Microsoft tries to ennoble its operating system, a clean OS cannot be used as you want, but only in very limited conditions, for example, at work, where the installation of any programs is 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 Total Commander. The program provides convenient access to your file system. It replaces the standard, beloved by many windows explorer. Now it has become more convenient to change, move and copy files. From launch file manager start working on the computer. With an archive format such as .rar, Microsoft Windows does not work by default. Even in spite of its prevalence.
In Russia, the WinRAR shell has been adopted. It supports all archive formats, including .zip. It is built into your operating system, as a result it gets the opportunity to work with all archives from the standard one in Explorer. This utility is honorably included in the list of standard programs. She is paid. There is a free alternative - 7-zip. It also has all the necessary functions, but it does not know how to pack into .rar.
Antivirus and alternative browser
An antivirus is essential on every computer. In addition, this is the only program that your device needs. Buy it and live in peace. Paid versions eliminate the need to search for signature databases and updated keys. We have common: Eset NOD32, Kaspersky Antivirus and DrWeb. Choose and use, but remember that 100% protection does not exist. Antivirus tops the list of standard programs.
Moreover, there are also good free ones: Comodo Antivirus, Avira, Avast and AVG. There is also an option with a corporate version - Symantec Endpoint Protection. This is a paid good device protector, the corporate version of which does not require keys, updates itself, and 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 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 are still installed on almost every computer. Discs are recorded with Nero Burning ROM, paid. You can also use free ones - ImgBurn, JetBee FREE or Nero MediaHome. The list of standard programs includes Adobe Acrobat Reader, which allows you to read PDF. This utility is a completely free program. PDF is the most common format for manuals, books, and documentation. Without this special program This file cannot be opened.
Skype, ICQ messenger - programs for advanced users
The list of standard computer programs continues with programs for advanced users. The above are the minimum list, without which your device will not be complete. Skype is free worldwide. Supports chat, voice and video. It is indispensable for communication. For its normal operation, you need a microphone, headphones and a camera. Skype must also be installed on both computers. Allows you to call mobile phones too, but not for free. The list also includes the popular ICQ client.
It is already a bit outdated, but nevertheless, many users, out of old memory, install it on their devices. You can exchange free messages, high-quality video chat is supported, cheap calls to phones. That is, you can keep in touch with friends. Instead of the cumbersome ICQ, we recommend installing the QIP client.
audio and video player, password manager
To check mail, a person goes to a site, such as Yandex.ru, and looks at Inbox. There are many programs that are much more convenient to use, especially when you have several mailboxes. The utility connects to the desired server and downloads all mail to the computer. It can then be viewed without delay, switching quickly between boxes. We can recommend Mozilla Thunderbird or The Bat. Also good is Microsoft Outlook. We recommend that you include separate video and audio players in the list of standard programs on your PC. Unfortunately, it is not possible to combine them in one utility so that everyone likes it, despite all the efforts of the 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 down a lot of passwords, so we recommend using one of two password managers: LastPass or RoboForm. Programs remember passwords and store them 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 therefore are needed to varying degrees by everyone, regardless of their profession. Recently they are called office. The standards for such software are set by Microsoft Corporation. The current Office suite is fast for everyone Windows devices. It includes Lync, Publisher, Access, OneNote, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. This software allows you to conveniently work with spreadsheets, in a business graphics editor, in a presentation preparation program, in a desktop publishing system, in a database management system, prepare visual presentations.
Your personal dispatcher is now Outlook, which includes an address book, a weekly planner, a diary, an email to communicate with outside world, and also performs other desired functions. There is a lot to write about Microsoft Office. But if you once fork out for its acquisition, you will get a very good, indispensable assistant.
