First, you choose which apps you want the installer to install on the Ninite web site, and then just click Get Installer. What this amazing tool does is let you create a tiny custom installer that is always kept up to date. Ninite works with the web installers, so it takes care of about 75 percent of what I need to install.īut Ninite isn’t just about aggregating application downloads. Looking at my own normal application install-set, what I see are several applications I download and install from the web-Adobe Reader, Chrome, Firefox, Skype, VLC Player and a few others-and then two larger application installs-Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop Elements-which I install from and my home server, respectively. And while this can be a time-consuming process, you can automate much of it with a handy little utility called Ninite.

Whether you’re using my Clean PC principles or not, after you reinstall Windows, you need to reinstall all of your applications.
