VLC player for Windows

VLC player for Windows

I have been using VLC for a number of years and I really think that it is 

The great thing about it is it plays virtually anything...

DVDs, Video CDs, MP4, MOV, MPEG, OGG, Real, FLAV, ASF/WMV/WMA, AVI files – 

among others – directly from your Windows device. 

It also has most of the codex built straight into this, so no downloading of anything.

Chocolatey

Chocolatey

One of the things that I really have a problem with is loading software onto

new computer or laptops.  I use Chocolatey to install the software that I need.

It automatically installs and authenticates Windows, Office, etc

Depending on what you would like to install you type it in.

Here is my standard setup which installs teamviewer, dropbox, evernote, 

flashplayer, silverlight, chrome, firefox, dropbox, java, adobe, skype, onedrive, etc

Once you run this file, leave it and come back when it is done!!

AWESOME!!!

1.      Cut and paste this text into a file called activate.bat

slmgr.vbs -ipk enter serial number
cd /
cd "program files"
cd "microsoft office"
cd office15
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:enter serial number
cscript ospp.vbs /act
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('http://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin
