   1. Show Path Bar, Status Bar, Sidebar,

Office and Day to Day

1. Outlook for Mac - Search will occasionally stop providing updated results. Rebuild the spotlight index if you notice this happening.
2. VLC Media Player - play DVDs and almost any video format
   

   1. To have multiple windows, run,

      Code Block
      language bash
      open -n /Application/VLC.app/

      Note, the playlist tends to go over the same place so it's not obvious sometimes if it worked. Figure out a parameter to fix this later.

   2. Clear recent files in dock 
   3. Possibly remove the function of recent files in dock (still to try)
3. Microsoft Office - Yeah you can't avoid it and using it since 2010 have not run into compatibility issues.
4. Kuvva (yet to try) - Wallpaper changer that pulls down nice wallpapers.
5. Secure Delete - Look for product. Apple dropped because they can't claim to guarantee with new ssd drives. Built into OS, drag files into garbage, then hold down apple key and right click, select "Secure Empty Trash".
6. Avaste Free Edition - As of 2012 top ranking antivirus for my use (but I do not rely on on-demand checking). Downside is no scheduling but not intrusive.
7. Avira Free Edition - As of 2012 2nd top ranking antivirus + can do automatic scheduled scans. Downside is disabling on demand keeps on resetting in Windows. No longer using.
8. Resize Browser Window - Useful for consistent screenshots.
