    We've all been here at some point. Reinstalled an operating system or put together a new PC, and then going through the tedious task of reinstalling all the software you want for it?

    http://ninite.com/

    Basically a site, where you tick what software you want to install, then it'll download all the software you selected into one installer package. Extremely handy for anyone wanting some of the most popular common programs in one swoop :D

    Sorry if it's been posted mods. Just thought it'd be handy for a lot of people. Definately came in handy for me

    neato. but i still prefer the old way. i keep all the installers on a disc so i know what i need. there's some apps not in that though that i'd always install.

    thanks for the link OP :)

    Whats really cool is the way it unchecks the install yahoo/google/ask toolbars in ccleaner and other programs. Toolbars are all evil
