Notes:
- Chrysocome recommend putting all programs which do not have an installer into
C:\apps. This keeps them separate from installed programs which live in C:\Program Files. C:\apps is also easier and safer to use because it does not have a space in the path name.
- Some versions of Windows come with a zip reading program built in. If your version of windows does not, you can get a free program called 7-Zip from the 7-Zip Home Page
- When running command line tools, you must either specify the full path to the .exe, add the full path to you path environment variable or change directory to the same path as the .exe
