    Are all 66 of those programs actually installed?
    Yeah, but it includes about a dozen MS Redistributables!

    Do you have a program that generates that image, with the count and total size of installed programs?
    Nope. It's the bottom of Control Panel/Programs and Features...

    Wow!

    Now, since the response has been so cool to this thread I started, I'm wondering whether I should have phrased the question very differently:

    What are the ten most indispensable (to you) programs on your Windows 10 PC(s)?

    Would that raise any more interest in sharing software lists?

    You could always ask z3r010 or Brink to change the thread Title for you. You could also say that they have to be Installed Software.



    I normally have a designated USB with Portable Software that I use. This way, it keeps it separate from the OS, and therefore has LESS impact on Resources and is easier to Troubleshoot the OS if needed [ NOT that I have do that very often ].

    Those Portables that I do use a LOT, are in a separate Folder on the OS Root and are linked to my Toolbar. When I run them, they automatically add the configuration settings to that particular Portable within that Folder. However, NOT ALL Portables behave in this manner, but MOST do.

    QTTabBar ... SumatraPDF
    I knew I'd see QTTabBar in any list from you. I am so impressed by your screenshots here, and the burnished metal finishes on everything you show us. That must have been a heap of work, even with that software.

    You and Ghot have mentioned SumatraPDF. I'd never heard of it, and I'm going to check it out.

    (This is the kind of information exchange I was hoping for.)

    (His Highness) John has changed the title of this thread as suggested above. Maybe we'll get some more information going now.

    This should allow @z3r010 and @Brink to see your post and hopefully change it for you.

    Title was too long, and had to shrink it a bit to fit. Now changed.
