[Everything](https://www.voidtools.com/) is always a definite install after imaging. It's something that should have been built into Windows.

It has been on my windows desktop since I got it, up until Windows 10 19H2 (RIP). If you are still looking for a replacement, try searching for "Quick Pick" by "Automation in Motion". Use the double quotes or you will have to wade through many pages of irrelevant results. Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar 1 Month Ago by themadrastiffin The shortcut bar in MS Office may not appear, may not open or may run slowly if you restart, repair or reinstall the program.

That should fix the shortcut bar behavior.

Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim Further note: Because Microsoft insists on crammine OneDrive down our throats, moving the My Documents is damn near impossible. I've found the easiuest way is to initially set up my computer using a Microsoft Account (something they have also made it almost impossibole to avoid), then create a local admin account and always log on with that.
