 All right, you've probably just opened your new HP and You've booted up First thing you want to do. Well on your screen Probably two programs are going to appear one is called Jing J-I-N-G That's a screen casting program. It's a pretty good program. It's freeware The only problem is you can only do a five-minute screen cast, so I've actually Uninstalled it from this particular machine I did that by clicking in the red square reds cancel cancel getting out of the program and then I just went to file control panel Uninstall a program and I scrolled my way down until I got to Jing J-I-N-G Uninstalled it and now it knows no longer going to open whenever you start up your machine I find programs that open at startup irritating so I try and avoid them whenever possible Second program you can uninstall is called cam studio I initially recommended to the district that this be the program that we use. It's also freeware However, I found one since then that I think works a little better So if you want to uninstall cam studio C-A-M-S-T-U-D-I-O-R That's S-T-D-O-R. You can as well Most of you also then you're probably having a screen that looks something like this Open up I think That thing up there again. I hate stuff that opens at the beginning of my startup menu So what I did right away was I carefully went and you'll see kind of a little Wrench thing sitting right there. I left-clicked on it and I turned off the launch HP Advisor Automatically on startup because I don't want stuff taking up memory that I don't know about and that not that I'm not going to use So I would encourage you to do that as well Then you'll have a bit more memory There's lots of other icons on here. What I would do now is I would right-click and I would go new Folder I would call it desktop and Most of this stuff I'm going to drag to the desktop Mozilla Firefox I installed Firefox. So that was the first program I installed I opened up Internet Explorer googled the word Firefox and I installed that Strongly encourage you to go to Firefox over Internet Explorer, but I'm going to drag that into there So it's out of the way. I'm going to end up uninstalling the Norton Internet Security thingy Microsoft Office 60-day trial. I'm going to right-click and hit delete We've paid for Microsoft Office. I don't need the shortcut to the 60-day trial My HP games. I'll drag that into that folder comic life. I'll drag that into that folder eBay I'm going to get rid of that because I'm not planning on selling stuff on eBay on a school computer Filezilla nice little program going to get rid of that Geogebra very powerful geometry program if you're teaching math eight or nine this year with the new geometry stuff or the old math 11 Play around with it do a Google for Geogebra tutorials, and you'll go holy smokes. I can't believe this is free It's basically Geometer sketchpad, but for free that's going to go there Gimp is like a Photoshop program. Oh, by the way, you may be noticing my icons scroll up as I get rid of them That's because I went on the blank area of the screen right-click View and I turned on auto arrange. I Don't like big gaps in my icons. It's a personal preference Gimp, this is a freeware Photoshop equivalent Gonna go there Google Earth lovely program also going to go in there Google Sketchup This is basically a free CAD cam program for architecture If you're doing volume and measurement with your great eights or nines You could really do some neat stuff do a tutorial for Google Sketchup Google that you'll find some incredible stuff HP help and support it's gonna go there HP media smart. I guess that's the media thing. It's gonna go there HP total care advisor is gonna go there Be a player gonna go there PDF creator. I'm gonna leave on the desktop temporarily Pekasa. This is the freeware Google Photoshop photo program really nice gonna go there. I'm a big Google fan if you have included already Scribius. I have no idea what that is. I think it's a drawing program songbird. I think it's a music program Blender, I think it's a multimedia program VLC media player. This is the end all be all the media player in that it'll play almost anything I'm actually gonna install a couple of other media players that play Almost anything and have a little nicer interface, but I always leave VLC It's my last resort if someone gives me a file and I can't play it Usually I'll open it in VLC and then it will play. However, that's gonna go right there Winplot, this is a lovely windows graphing program if you Google win plot tutorials You'll find a series of video tutorials and within about 20 minutes You can be making piecewise functions with hollow circles on one end and shaded circles on the other end very powerful And let's you just paste them right into a word document. I'm gonna leave that on the desktop ABG free. This is our antivirus program. I'm gonna leave that on the desktop See cleaner I installed this this was the second program I installed if you Google see cleaner This is a computer cleanup program. It actually stands for crap cleaner. Believe it or not. It's freeware. It's great It really streamlines things. I run this every month or so it clears out your internet cache finds any Leftover strings of files clear those clears those out. It's also got a registry cleaner Which also speeds up your machines. I encourage you do a Google search for see cleaner and install it Google Chrome. This is an alternate browser. I find Google Chrome has a wicked fast Java engine. I use it for Isis as opposed to Firefox. This is a provincial exam. I'm gonna use for a sample program This is Adobe Reader, which I just ran and had to update about six times Okay So there's what my desktop is gonna look like now what I'm going to show you in this video is how to configure the Send-to-one note feature which does not exist for Microsoft Office 2007 one note 64-bit edition. We have found a free workaround and It's basically using this PDF creator printer driver and Convincing the computer that it's the send-to-one note printer driver However, I think I'm going to do that in another podcast now because I don't want this podcast to be too long
