Not sure if there's been a thread on this excellent piece of software as it's not the easiest thing to search for. If so, apologies.
Anyway. Win-get is to Windows, what apt-get is to Linux. For those who don't know, it allows you to install software easily by just typing a one line intsruction at the command prompt. For example, if you wanted to install ZoneAlarm, just open a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and type:
and it will download the install file, run it, and then delete it once it's installed. The file is stored in a central repository which has most of the popular free applications. You can suggest new ones if you think one should be included.
There's also a feature which is useful if you spend a lot of time fixing other people's computers. You can set up a list of programs required, and install them all with just the one command. Very handy!
Just download the two files listed on the website above, and put them in your c:\windows folder, and you're ready to go.
