Gettings started on a new laptop (for me)

Other people claim they just run some box-starter script or a bunch of chocolatey installs and they're done.

I seem to have a lot more to get set up than they do. Here's a list for me:

installs

• windows terminal
• dropbox
  • get my utils folder in particular
• chrome
• WSL
• node (thus npm and chocolatey)
• Visual Studio Code
• Visual Studio >= 2019 (obviously this number will change over time)
• Paint.net (from app store)
• filezilla
• SSMS
• sgdm

configure

• kv
• j (get list from other machines -- see j uuuu; cd $env:computername)
• notepad++
  • install textfx
  • ctrl D (insert today's date)
  • ctrl f4
  • dark theme
  • markdown in notepad
  • disable automatic parens completions
• Pin relevant apps to task bar
• configure task bar to not show cortana, app store, edge, search bar, contacts, etc... what a bunch of crap!
• configure explorer to show file extensions, show hidden files, etc.
• PATH
  • utils

global npm packages

• npm install -g markdownlint-cli

licensing for

• nimbletext
• nimbleSET
• linqPad
• paint.net
• office
