Telltale Games

What is your most frequently used program according to the Windows start menu? This only applies if you haven't modified your system to not let Windows automatically manage the programs shown on the list.

The reason I am asking this is that I noticed that mine is, and has been for a while, Notepad... which seems odd, but I do use it a lot.

Haggis · 05/15/2007, 12:04 pm

Haha, Notepad here as well. I use it to keep track of a lot of stuff, as well as code my web pages with it. Next on the list is iTunes (I love music) and Word (hey, I have to write a lot of papers and stuff).

Mine is Adobe Acrobat, followed by Notepad and WinEdt. I often use notepad as a means of temporary storage that is somewhere between CTRL-C and actually saving something to a file. I also occasionally use it to do some back-of-the-envelope manipulations when I can't find my pen.

MS paint. When I am bored during group discussions or anything else that has someone giving a lecture, I would bust out ms paint on my laptop and start dooling nonsensical things. I even did it to a point where I liked the pattern I drew and used it as wallpaper for my myspace page. MS paint is my most used, flithy whor--I mean program. hehe

Paint.NET, Winamp and Bright Side of the Moon

dloeke · 05/15/2007, 01:01 pm

Notepad, Microsoft Word 2003, Minesweeper(

), calculator and Windows Live Messenger. For some strange reason, Windows Media Player isn't on there, but that is definitely the most used program on this computer.

jp-30 · 05/15/2007, 01:34 pm

Paint Shop Pro, Notepad, Ace FTP, Word...

*Jennifer* · 05/15/2007, 01:45 pm

MS Paint
Windows Media Player
WordPad
Paint Shop Pro
Internet Explorer
Winamp

jmm · 05/15/2007, 06:35 pm

Paint Shop Pro, Notepad, Solitaire (with the customized Ted E. Bear's background) and Outlook

ShaggE · 05/16/2007, 02:09 am

Internet Explorer (odd since I rarely use IE)
OpenOffice
GameTap
Notepad
Ares
WinRAR

Leviathan · 05/16/2007, 04:00 am

aside from Internet Explorer as being number one:
- Zoom Player and MP Classic for videos
- ACDSee and Photoshop for images
- WinAmp for audios
- Visual.NET, MSSQL and UltraEdit for development
- BitComet, eMule, mIRC and CuteFTP for dl/ul
- Nero, WhereIsIt, WinRAR and UltraISO for managing my collections..uh, data

Laserschwert · 05/16/2007, 04:23 am

Mh... Firefox I guess... but aside from that:

At work: 3dsmax, AfterEffects, Photoshop
At home: Probably Photoshop

Steve2000 · 05/16/2007, 05:17 am

DosBox. Is top of the list - but that list only keeps track of the most frequently used program that you select from the START menu. I have shortcuts to all my really frequently used programs in the quick-launch menu and when you use programs from there it doesn't record that as a "use" of the program. So my really most frequently used programs are Firefox, MS Word, Thunderbird, iTunes, and CivIV. (And the Sam and Max games of course)

Squinky · 05/16/2007, 10:37 pm

Since I, too, access my most frequently used programs (Opera, Miranda, OpenOffice Writer, etc.) through the quick launch bar, they don't appear in the start menu. That said, my start menu items at this point in time appear to be:

Spider Solitaire
Flash 8
GameTap
CCleaner
LimeWire
Internet Explorer
Audacity

tabacco · 05/16/2007, 10:50 pm

Putty
iTunes (on my Mac, technically, but it's up there in the top 5)
Worms Armageddon
Various Telltale games

Chuck · 05/17/2007, 03:51 am

I use a Mac, which treats all programs as equal and doesn't play favorites. (As far as I can tell, there's no frequently-used thing in OS X).

But I can tell you mine would be:
Mail
NetNewsWire
Safari
TextMate

with actual work-related apps (Word, NetBeans) way, way off in the distance.

Derwin · 05/17/2007, 03:59 am

MSPaint? I love that! And worms armageddon!?!? If I had my disc with me, I would challenge you to a game Doug.

I guess I should post what else I have on my list:
Notepad, Opera, Visual C++ 2005, LiveWriter Beta, Gametap (yeah, I am using it in Spain... I am so glad they only check location during the registration stages)

ShaggE · 05/17/2007, 04:57 am

If you have GameTap, then you can challenge Doug to a game of Worms: Armageddon. I believe the multiplayer works in the GameTap version. Hell, I'll join in if you set up a game.

Actually, I've been playing the standalone version. I hadn't even noticed it was available in Gametap.

ShaggE · 05/17/2007, 07:42 am

It's still compatible with players on GameTap. Kind of like how Halo could be played between XBox and PC users.
