Earlier this week we asked you to share the ways you customize your computing experience. You sounded off in the comments and we rounded up your tips and tricks to share. Read on to see how your fellow personalize their computers.
It would seem the first stop on just about everyone’s customization route is stripping away the bloat/crapware. Lisa Wang writes:
Depending on how much time I have when I receive my new machine,I might do the following in a few batches, starting with the simplest one. Usually, my list goes like this:
1.Remove all bloatware and pretty much unneeded stuffs.
2.Change my wallpaper,login screen,themes, and sound.
3.Installing my ‘must-have’ softwares-starting with fences and rocketdock+stacks plugin
4.Setting taskbar to autohide, pinning some apps there
5.Installing additional languages
6.Tweaking all settings and keyboard shortcuts to my preferance
7.Changing the icons(either manual or with TuneUp Styler)
Interface tweaks like the aforementioned Fences and Rocket Dock made quite a few appearances, as did Rainmeter. Graphalfkor writes:
