Additional stuff to install on Windows

This time we use a apt-get similar tool to install (and update) programs on windows.

First you have to install Chocolatey as a package manager. Therefore You have to open cmd.exe as Administrator and type the following:

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "[System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH="%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

The next step is to install the programs you want, here is a suggestion from me:

all:
choco install -y 7zip.install adobereader audacity avidemux blender ccleaner ChocolateyGUI chromium dropbox ext2fsd filezilla Firefox freeplane ganttproject Ghostscript.app gimp googledrive InfraRecorder InkScape jre8 keepass keystore-explorer.portable libreoffice lyx miktex notepadplusplus.install openvpn pidgin putty scribus skype speccy teamviewer texniccenter thunderbird veracrypt vlc winscp

just free software:
choco install -y 7zip.install audacity avidemux blender ChocolateyGUI chromium ext2fsd filezilla Firefox freeplane ganttproject Ghostscript.app gimp InfraRecorder InkScape keepass keystore-explorer.portable libreoffice lyx miktex notepadplusplus.install openvpn  pidgin putty scribus texniccenter thunderbird veracrypt vlc winscp

I hope this makes it easier for you to install this on a fresh system.
