I know it is a bit presumptuous to try and define the best computer applications or make such list, but as I see it, the best application in my opinion is defined by the user itself, each one has its own opinion on what is the best application for him. So, since it is an individual opinion I will make my own list of best computer applications.

My List of best/recommended applications:

Soluto – This program helps to boost the booting process, and make it shorter. Basically it enables to choose some of your applications that are loading on the start-up to be moved after the crucial system applications. This enables you to be able start opening applications before all of your applications are loaded. This application even shows you how much time you have saved. Mostly it will boost the boot time in half. This application is recommended, for any of the Windows users.

KMP-Player – This is one of the best Video/Music players I have ever had the pleasure of using. It will play any type of movie you want, including High-Definition (720p, 1080p etc…) ones. When you get used to the shortcut keys of this application, you will find it very usable and easy to use. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

XBMC – XBMC Media center –
This is the best media center application I have had the pleasure of using, it is a great application to watch movies, listen to music and use other free applications like weather forecast etc… The application will collect all of your Video, Music within compact organized screens, with easy access to them all, and all of that will be running on your TV in case you choose to connect your computer to your TV. The application is very easy to use, using just your Mouse and Keyboard. This is one of the best I have tested, and I believe you will like it too try it out.

AxCrypt – This is a much recommended program in case you need to lock you files/folders with a password, so only you will be able to access the files. The use is very simple, right click the file, and encrypt it using a password. The file will then be locked, and you will be able to unlock it only if you remember the password, so don’t forget it (Write it down somewhere).

Foxit PDF reader –
This is a simple; small sized and mostly supports any type of PDF documents you might have, so if you’re tired of the heavy complicated Adobe Reader application, you might want to consider this recommended efficient application.
