If you want to reduce the time needed for installing your OS you can use nLite addons to create your own bootable image of Windows.
Addons are third-party applications developed by other producers than the nLite developers, designed to be included in nLite as addons. They are specially customized so that they can be added to nLite in order to create a preinstall image of Windows to ease a user's work when reinstalling Window on their computer.
You just add these addons, create your image and when you reinstall your Windows all your favorite programs will be there just like they were before. It's a fast and easy way to keep a backup especially if you have a lot of programs installed on your computer.
PeaZip is a handy archiver utility designed to supports its native Pea archive format (featuring compression, split volumes, and flexible encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats, with special focus on handling open formats.
Full support: 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, PEA, split TAR and ZIP.
Browse/test/extract-only support for ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO, LZH, NSIS installers, OOo files, RAR, RPM, Z.
PeaZip's UI aims giving aid to the user to: edit, save and restore layout of archives (input files and folders list) to speed up definition of archiving and backup operations; save job definition, as plain text, to be used in scripts or for learning purpose; have a detailed job log after each operation.
The interface is fully skinnable (skins can be customised and saved as plain text to be re-edited as freely as possible) and uses customisable transparency.
PeaZip doesn't need to be installed/unistalled, it can run from any path (even remote; a writeable path is recommended), however Windows version is released both as a standalone binary and as a fully automated installer/uninstaller package, allowing tight system integration to use PeaZip right from Explorer.
PeaZip fundamentally acts as a graphic frontend for Pea executable (graphical) from the same Author and for Igor Pavlov's 7za executable(Myspace's 7z POSIX port under Linux), that can run in console mode or through a graphical wrapper.
nLite is a GUI that will enable you to permanently remove Windows components by your choice.
You can add a series of addons to this application so it best fits your needs and desires.
