What is a Standard Install?
A standard install is just one more way that we strive for 'value-added' in everything we do. Our philosophy is that a PC is not as valuable if it can't perform a variety of basic functions, and if the software to make it more-and-more productive is not already in place the first time we deliver it!
So we routinely follow a well-defined regiment for new PC installations and comprehensive PC tune-ups that's described in some detail at: http://www.2ss.com/StandardInstall.htm.
The result is that we work to make sure that every PC we deliver can:
-
Access and read '.PDF' (e.g. portable document format) files using Acrobat Reader.
-
Create '.PDF' files using software like Adobe Acrobat Professional or PDF reDirect.
-
Open, access and allow use of compressed files, as well as allow for creating a compressed folder of files using a tool like WinZip, PKZip, etc. (A compressed folder is handy for E-mailing a group of files.)
-
Access and use our own custom 'Right-Click' menu list of 'Send To' selections.
-
Use and be customized with Microsoft's 'PowerToys for Windows XP'.
-
Access quickly an 'Explorer at My Computer' window from the [Start] menu.
-
Deliver quick access to Computer Management, System Logs and '2SS.Com - Get Help Now' remote support from a custom '2SS.Com Favorites' menu available at the top of the [Start] menu.
In addition we customize every installation of Microsoft office to display a full list of files (9 not 4) on the [Open] menu in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, display 'file close' icons in Word and Excel, make available an envelope print button in Word, and much more...
There are many more items on the
list (Office software
updates, Windows XP settings,
SystemWorks settings, etc.)
but we suspect you get the idea!
We want every PC we deliver to
be a highly-productive tool that
you can keep growing into as you
become more and more proficient
with it.
If this doesn't describe your PC
let us know? Many of these
updates can be made on-site or
even at your request via a
remote support session.
