I use the paid version of CCleaner. It’s worth every penny just for the registry cleaning. That keeps windows so snappy.

I posted this question in the parent thread, might get more traction here...
I am looking for an interface to make a Windows PC Kid Friendly. I understand I can do with via Windows 10, but I think there are many flaws with how MS does it. Ideally I would be able to green light certain programs like Steam to give them access to games etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is there any good alternatives to paying for Excel if I need it for work? Or at least getting it cheaper? I'm helping my sister with some accounting shit and she's tracking a bunch of stuff in Excel 2016, I don't really feel like paying for it, although I feel like I might have to
I know I could use google sheets, but all the functionality isn't there and it has some quirks, plus gets slow and crashy with large amounts of shit in it

Some offices will have a personal version you can buy, so you might be able to check with your work about a copy for your home machine (mine had one for like $5).

Chocolatey - The package manager for Windows - is pretty much the only way I install software on my personal machines. Almost all of the stickied software is available and it makes installation and removal as easy as it is on Linux.

What’s wrong with CCleaner? That program is a staple in my house. Did it get compromised or just too expensive?

It was briefly compromised a few months ago, there was some spyware or some such that got added to one version. Since Avast bought it a lot of people have also expected it to eventually turn to shit.

Observium (network monitoring tool) Observium
I use the turnkey variant which is a breeze to setup, they also have OVA files for deploying to ESXi which is what I use. I used to have bandwidth caps with my ISP and this is handy for tracking usage on anything that supports snmp. I even have my printer hooked in and it will tell me my toner and paper levels.

Ninite Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once
Its a one stop shop for some frequently downloaded/used apps. This is the first place I go after a new build, click what you want and it installs the latest version of whatever in one shot.

Movie Maker is part of the windows essential package. Essentials is no longer available for download, that said you might be able to find an archive someplace via google or a torrent etc. Can't say how it would run as it's unsupported now. You might be better off biting the bullet and trying something new. I know nothing about video software but am sure someone here can recommend something simple.

Not sure where to post this question. I need some suggestions for audio editing software. Most important thing is it's gotta be good for a fucking luddite like me. Second most important thing is that it's free. But to be honest if I have to pay a small fee for something good I will. I have a new radio in my truck that takes thumb drives, so I want to convert all of my tapes, CDs, and LPs into whatever kind of file the radio needs. (I assume it's MP3 or MP4). I'm guessing the CDs will be easy, I just haven't messed around with them yet. But for the tapes and albums the only way I have to convert them is a record player that will record to a thumb drive. The problem is that for tapes and LPs you wind up with 1 file per side. I'd rather break out the individual songs.
Is there a software package that can automatically detect the breaks in the songs so I don't have to listen to the whole thing?

Audacity should fit the bill.
