Title: Your top 3 most used applications?
Post by: zpyder on June 08, 2009, 11:50:42 AM

So, using the windows start menu "most used" list, what are your most used apps?

Mine are:

1: Notepad
2: Word 2007
3: Media Player Classic

Notepad has always been at #1 for me as its just so handy for quickly jotting notes, as well as being a quick and easy method for stripping text formatting.

Word - goes up and down the list a fair bit depending on what my current work projects require.

Media player classic seems to always be near the top as it tends to be my media player of choice....

Notepad
Photoshop
Itunes

Firefox and Thunderbird are used more than all of them but I didnt list them as they are literally always open from the minute the PC is turned on until it is turned off at night.

Not necessarily excluding the browers here. I imagine a few people might not use their browsers more than other apps. Or at least, might not load several instances etc.

No browser actually features in my list, as I guess I tend to leave a window open for the entire time the comp is on, and just make new tabs, whereas I constantly open and close things like word and photoshop...
