Recommended Windows Softwares for your PC

Rainmeter
A multi-featured desktop customization tool for creating a better looking or atleast geek-like desktop. There's so much you could do with this tool i.e. customizing a calendar , configuring an RSS feeds etc to display on your desktop.

VLC media player
This is by far the best media player I've come across, highly customizable, flexible and light weighted, users have option of boosting volumw upto 400% and can download skins. I'm yet to come across a video format that can't be played using this media player. And with Windows media player not being included by default in the upcoming Windows 8, all you have to do is download the latest version of the VLC media player and you're good to go.

Google Earth
This software will fasinate you, but only if you've got a fast internet connection. A friend once told me that you sure could use Google Earth to zoom in on a small goal post ~i believe they call it monkey posts~. Haven't come around finding out if he's right.

Fences
Yet another wonderful desktop customization tool that enables windows user to group/re-order their desktop icons in a good looking customizable container. With Fences, users can organise their icons without the limitation of windows ie arrangement to the left, desktop looks neat, plus hiding/unhiding desktop icons is just a double click away.

Autoruns
Displays programs that runs or starts up automatically with windows and allows user to disable them, allowing for faster boot time.
