List of standard Windows OS programs. Standard programs. List of standard Windows programs
No matter how hard Microsoft tries its operating system refine, but a clean OS cannot be used as desired, 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 or 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 work with the computer begins. With an archive format such as .rar, Microsoft Windows Can't work by default. Even despite its prevalence.
The WinRAR shell has been adopted in Russia. It supports all archive formats, including .zip. It is integrated into your operating system, as a result, you get the opportunity to work with all archives from the standard one in Explorer. This utility is included with honor in the list of standard programs. It's paid. There is a free alternative - 7-zip. It also has all the necessary functions, but it cannot pack into .rar.
Antivirus and alternative browser
Antivirus is necessary on every computer. On top of that, this is the only program your device needs. Buy it and live in peace. Paid versions eliminate the need to search for signature databases and updated keys. We use: 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 frequently than before, but are still installed on almost every computer. Discs are burned using Nero Burning ROM, a paid program. 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 completely free program. PDF is the most common format for instructions, books and documentation. Without this special program, a file of this standard cannot 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 complete. Skype is free worldwide. Supports chat, voice and video. Is indispensable for communication. For her normal operation You need a microphone, headphones and a camera. Also, both computers must have Skype program. Allows you to call mobile phones, but not free. The list also includes the popular ICQ client.
It is a little outdated, but nevertheless, many users install it on their devices out of old memory. You can exchange free messages, support high-quality video chat, and cheap calls to phones. That is, you can maintain constant contact 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 website, for example Yandex.ru, and looks at the “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. Microsoft Outlook is also good. We recommend including 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'll 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 problems and therefore are needed to varying degrees by everyone, regardless of their profession. Recently they have been called office ones. The standards for such software are set by Microsoft Corporation. Current Office package works 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, a business graphics editor, a presentation program, a desktop publishing system, a database management system, and prepare visual presentations.
Your personal dispatcher is now Outlook, which includes address book, weekly, diary, email for communication with the outside world, and also performs others required functions. There is a lot to write about Microsoft Office. But if you fork out the money to purchase it once, you will get a very good, irreplaceable assistant.
To the “clean” just now installed Windows For normal operation it is simply necessary to install many more programs, because without them, as you understand, there is nowhere. Let's try to make a small list of the most necessary programs for a computer, without which full use of a computer is simply impossible. Please note that in the article, in the description of any program there is a link to its working version
So...
The most necessary and important program- this is your antivirus protection.It is usually divided into 4 categories: antivirus, firewall, comprehensive protection and computer scanning programs. I prefer comprehensive protection, consisting of an antivirus + firewall. On this moment I use one of the free ones - Avast! I would recommend using only the most proven anti-virus programs: Kaspersky, Norton, ESET(nod32), DrWeb, Avast, Panda, McAfee and other popular ones. In general, it's a matter of taste. If you don’t want to pick up some Trojan, be sure to install it!
Next we will install the archiver. Since most files on the Internet are in archives (.rar .zip .7z), we will definitely need an archiver program. I suggest using two simultaneously: WinRar and 7Zip.
Their differences can be described in one line: WinRar- a beautiful and advanced archiver, but with 7zip it’s free. Well, as a bonus - only an archiver 7zip opens archives in .7z format
Next on the list we will have disc burning program(although in recent years I have increasingly begun to doubt its need... I use discs once every 3 months). Dominates here Nero, the most popular program for burning discs (the fact that it’s paid doesn’t bother anyone). How free alternative I can advise ImgBurn or shareware Ashampoo Burning Studio- the functionality is less, but for its main task - burning discs - it is more than enough.
Further... we need Office. And most likely - Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.). I think there is no need to describe it - you yourself know perfectly well what it is. For lovers of free software I can advise Open Office or better yet LibreOffice- they are almost as good as the brainchild of Microsoft Corporation, and they work with Microsoft formats without problems.
Now we'll look at codecs. Why is this thing needed? And so that when watching your favorite film, you, dear readers, do not have any problems. Without them, many video and audio formats simply will not play! The most popular codec package is K-Lite Codec Pack. By the way, a very good video player is installed with it - Media Player Classic.
Video viewer necessary for any PC user. Even if you have a brand new home theater, very often you have to watch a variety of videos on your computer - from clips to video seminars. They will cope with this task perfectly KMplayer And QuickTime Player.
Listening to music- It’s simply not possible to listen to music using the standard Windows Media Player, no matter how hard the developers try... the 2 most popular players are suitable for this purpose: Winamp And AIMP. The second player consumes less resources, and is also free. But even here it’s a matter of taste and habit. For example, I use two.
I would also recommend universal players which read both video and audio files without problems: GOM Media Player And VLC media player- they read all formats and by the way they are completely free!
Don't forget that we need program for reading .pdf files. Many books, articles, and other literature are published in this format. Here I recommend Foxit Reader as a replacement for a bulky (and even paid) monster Adobe reader. You may need Adobe Photoshop and viewing photo albums ACDsee Pro
Text recognising- here is the most best program, of course ABBYY FineReader, however, there are free analogues, for example CuneiForm
Don't forget about utilities that keep your system clean - Uninstall Tool And CCleaner. As a result, we have an extensive list of programs - and at least two dozen of them will definitely be useful to you...

Introduction
Application- a set of interrelated programs for creating and modifying objects (documents), as well as for managing objects of a certain type.
All programs can be divided into two groups - standard (or built-in) and additional.
Standard Windows operating system programs
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 operation.
Additional programs - These are those programs that are purchased 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 the desired program:

Notebook
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 for creating, editing and viewing text documents. Text editor Notepad takes little time random access memory, and therefore it is convenient to use for making short notes, notes, editing batch files, as well as for exchanging text fragments between separate applications using the clipboard. Notepad provides limited means for document design; For example, in this program you cannot use different fonts for individual parts of a text document, but you can change the font type, size and style throughout the entire document. Save a Notepad document, like a document of any other Windows application, can be accessed using the menu command FILE = Save or FILE = Save as. The Notepad program is convenient to use for logging records with automatic indication of the date of their creation.
Calculator
The Windows calculator is used to perform relatively simple calculations and works much the same as a regular pocket calculator. The Windows calculator has memory for storing intermediate calculation results. There are two calculator options on Windows: Normal and Engineering. Switching between these modes is done using menu commands VIEW in the program window Calculator.
Engineering The calculator, in addition, allows you to calculate standard mathematical functions and perform quite complex, for example statistical, calculations. The results of the calculator's calculations can be copied to the Clipboard. In addition, you can paste numerical data from the clipboard into the display line 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 coincide with the calculator buttons shown on the screen. Detailed information about all the functions of conventional and engineering calculators can be obtained using the item "?" in the horizontal menu bar of the calculator window.
WordPad word processor
WordPad program is a modern, relatively simple word processor. Word processor WordPad has many more features than the Notepad editor. WordPad replaces the Write editor that was included with earlier Windows versions. Word processors, in addition to performing the main functions of text editors for creating and editing text documents, perform another function - formatting documents. Formatting - processing documents using multiple font sets, using text alignment methods, embedding Text Document objects of a different nature, such as drawings, as well as control over the flow of text around graphics.
The WordPad program supports the technology of inserting and embedding objects, and when exchanging data between WordPad applications it can be like server(source) and client(receiver). Although WordPad is notably inferior to the more powerful word processor Word, it can be widely used for creating documents containing formatted text, clipboard-pasted graphics, spreadsheets, and charts created in Excel. In addition, WordPad allows you to develop presentations with multimedia elements, including connecting audio, showing slides and even small videos.
The program allows you to set automatic word hyphenation, drag selected fragments in a document with the mouse, use context menus, provides a variety of options for formatting text and improving the appearance of the document, for example, the ability to set not only the font type and size, but also the color of any character or an entire piece of text etc. WordPad allows you to open and save files in three main formats:
in text format MS DOS- no formatting;
in text format RTF- with individual formatting elements;
in format Word 6.0- with a wide range of formatting elements. WordPad also allows you to open .wri files, documents created in the legacy Windows Write text editor. The WordPad word processor and the Paint program discussed below are single-window applications.
Graphic editor Paint
Program Paint- a relatively simple graphic 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: graphic image it is built from individual points - pixels. In addition to raster editors, graphic editors are also used to create graphic objects vector type. Vector images exist in the form of a set of mathematical formulas (graphic primitives) that describe the individual elements of the drawing. Vector graphics is easily scaled without loss of image quality, whereas when the raster pattern is enlarged, the outlines can take on a rough step-like character due to the increase in the size of the pixels that make it up. Vector-type editors include a graphic editor built into Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel), Corel DRAW! etc. Some programs, for example Adobe Photoshop, when processing images, they allow you to combine raster and vector methods.
Drawings created in Paint can be:
save as files of various formats (see below);
print (using the menu command FILE= Print);
insert into documents created using other applications, such as Word-Pad, Word, Excel, etc.;
use as Windows wallpaper(background for the desktop surface) - using the appropriate menu commands FILE.
Drawings can be saved in one of four formats (*.bmp):
in the form of a black and white image;
as a 16-color drawing. This format has an extremely limited color gamut, but the file takes up little disk space;
in the form of a 256-color drawing. The file takes up twice as much disk space as if saved in 16-color format;
as a 24-bit image. This format provides the most high quality color reproduction, but the files take up a lot of disk space. You can learn more about drawing techniques, the purpose and capabilities of individual graphics editor tools using the help subsystem of the Paint program.
The address book
The Address Book is a convenient place to store contact information so you can easily query it from programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and NetMeeting. Here you can search for people and organizations, create groups of contacts for mail distribution, and send and receive electronic business cards.
To open your address book, click Start and select teams All programs, Standard And The address book.
Using the Command Line
Usage command line AND
MS-DOS (stands for Disk Operating System) Microsoft system) is a command line operating system that is used on personal computers. As with other operating systems, e.g. OS/2, MS-DOS converts keyboard input into commands, organizes actions such as writing and reading from disks, displaying, keyboard control, and many other internal operations that allow programs to run and files to be organized.
MS-DOS commands are entered into command prompt window. To end the MS-DOS session, enter exit in the command line window at the position of the flickering cursor.
MS-DOS mode is a shell that emulates the MS-DOS environment on 32-bit systems such as Windows. MS-DOS programs can run under Windows and also create program description file (PIF), which appears as a shortcut on the desktop.
Synchronization
To sync offline items:
1.Run synchronization manager.
2. Select the check boxes next to the offline items you want to synchronize, such as next to a mapped network drive or a web page that is accessible offline in Internet Explorer.
3.Press the button Synchronization.

Introduction
operating room Windows system has a whole arsenal of simple and not only built-in programs, which are not a sin to use in the absence of more professional analogues, and for novice PC users who have just begun 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 via e-mail, watch movies and listen to music.
1. Task Manager
The task manager is used to display key performance indicators of your computer. It displays information about programs and processes running on your computer. For running programs, you can view their status and terminate programs that have stopped responding. Additionally, if your computer is connected to a network, you can view the network status and operating parameters.
In order to launch the Windows Task Manager, you need to simultaneously press three buttons - Ctrl+Alt+Del. A program window will appear.
2. Disk check
During PC operation, malfunctions may sometimes occur in both software (including the operating system) and hardware (for example, due to a simple power outage). As a result, errors may occur in the file system - this is when information about a particular file or directory no longer corresponds 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 deals with the obviously unnecessary contents of your hard drive.
A number of programs, in particular Microsoft Internet Explorer, waste a lot of disk space storing various temporary files. Temporary files are created when installing new programs, as well as when running already installed ones. As a rule, such files are written to a folder specially designated for this purpose - TEMP, located in the Windows directory. Theoretically, a program that places 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 disk context menu. In the first case, you will first be asked to select the disk that you plan to clean. Then the cleaning program window itself 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 are stored, 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 one nearby free place, but often this is not the case. As a result, different parts of the file end up scattered across the entire surface of the disk. Such files are called fragmented. In principle, there is nothing wrong with this, since the system has information about the location of all parts of the file, but the time required to read a fragmented file requires significantly more.
The defragmentation program is designed to collect files into a single whole. If you launch it from the main menu, you will first have to select a disk from the list to defragment. If you use context menu disk and call the defragmentation program from the Tools tab, the disk will already be selected. Then you can immediately begin defragmentation, or analyze its need using analysis (it allows you to find out the degree of fragmentation of files).
5. Disk archiving
One of the ways to protect important information to protect against loss is its regular archiving, or, as it is more often called, backup. For this purpose, Windows provides special program- Data archiving. Like the two previous utilities, it can be called up from the Tools tab of disk properties or found in the main menu among utility programs.
The Windows archiving program is designed as a wizard. After the welcome screen, the user will be asked to choose an action - archiving or restoring from an archive. Leaving archiving selected, click next to select archiving objects. Since copying the entire contents of a disk, as a rule, is not practical, you should select specific files and directories to carry out this important procedure. Most often the main candidates for Reserve copy are the My Documents folder and perhaps some others where the user saves his work. It is precisely this option - archiving a folder with documents, a desktop and files related to working on the Internet - that is offered by the Archiving Wizard.
6. System Restore
Another utility for recovering lost information is the System Restore service. Its fundamental difference from archiving is that it “protects” the settings of the OS itself, including installed drivers devices, hardware profiles, etc. To provide this functionality, Windows regularly creates restore checkpoints, starting from the first time the system is started 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, you should make sure that the desired item is selected. Then you need to click next. After this, select in the calendar the day on which the system was fully operational (days with restore points are marked in bold) and click next. Now the recovery point has been 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 some time, 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. Symbol 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 - Symbol Table - will come in handy. With its help, you can select any character from those available in the font. To do this, you should either specify desired symbol and press Enter, or double-click on it with the mouse. If you click only once or move around the table using the arrows, the currently selected symbol will be displayed enlarged in its own window.
8. Calculator
The program emulates a real calculator. It has 2 operating modes - 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, and any powers. There is statistics (Sta) of calculations, which can sometimes be very useful. Of course, there is also ordinary memory (M+, MR, etc.). Can display the exact value of Pi (Pi) on the screen. There are built-in tools for increasing accuracy. Thus, if you divide 1 by 3, and then multiply the resulting number by 3, you will get exactly one, and not 0.99999... In addition, you can enter 32-digit numbers into the calculator! This is not your ordinary calculator with 10 - 18 digits.
9. Notepad
Much has already been written about this program. They said that it does not have many necessary functions, such as syntax highlighting for programming languages, encoding translation, etc. However, so far many users have not made a replacement for Notepad. Unfortunately, the program has very limited functions, such as word wrapping, inserting operating time (to do this, you need to have a .LOG entry in the first line of the file or press F5) and... that's 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 almost instantly even on the weakest machines and does not require installation.
10. Paint
A small graphics package included in Windows for processing raster graphics. The program is created for beginners. It has the following tools: eraser, fill, pencil, brush, spray, inscription, line, curve, rectangle, polygon, ellipse, rounded rectangle. There are no filters. Can do minimal technical actions - stretching, scaling, flipping, inverting colors. At a scale greater than 400%, it can display a pixel-by-pixel grid. Can apply captions without any special effects. The program is not suitable for professional work. To create graphics they usually use Corel DRAW or Adobe Illustrator, and for processing - Adobe Photoshop.
11. WordPad
WordPad is a small editor that, unlike Notepad, is capable of minor 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. If necessary, you can clean it. It is possible to save and open clipboard files (*.clp).
