[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 899269, member: 61892"] To install software, you can create scripts, like: [CODE]start "" /wait "D:\Software\Temp\Setup\1.exe" start "" /wait "D:\Software\Temp\Setup\2.exe" start "" /wait "D:\Software\Temp\Soft\Windows Repair Toolbox\Downloads\PatchMyPc\PatchMyPC.exe" [/CODE] PatchMyPC contains ~300 apps, it will download and install the latest versions. Software usually contains settings within .ini files or within registry. Ini files can be easily unpacked to their retrospective folders, like: [CODE]C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Wise Disk Cleaner\Config.ini C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Process Hacker\settings.xml[/CODE] As for registry, that it is a bit complicated, you would need to do it per app basis, like: [CODE]rem 7-zip reg add "HKCU\Software\7-Zip\Compression" /v "Archiver" /t "REG_SZ" /d "7z" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\7-Zip\Compression" /v "Level" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "9" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\7-Zip\Compression\Options\7z" /v "Level" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "9" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\7-Zip\Options" /v "CascadedMenu" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\7-Zip\Options" /v "ContextMenu" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "263" /f[/CODE] Most of the time I waste installing drivers, setting up some Windows settings and browser's extensions. I wish, sync would backup those as well. Technically I could backup the whole browser's folder and it would work, but I prefer to clean install browser, just in case, there are hidden nasties. Licences are problematic. They are created to prevent being easily copied, so activation might be needed, but also that depends, what software. It will take some time to create, but once done, it will save you tons of time. I use those 2 files, then I apply my tweaks to finish it off.
