This is good advice and the first post that actually adresses the OP's question.
 
I would add that a good remote control setup is important for those times when a shortcut gets accidentally renamed or a menu gets dragged off an app. I also highly recommend formatting with a clean install of Windows and not an OEM version. Dell, HP, Sony, et. al. all have tons of "helper ware" that just seems to get in the way and cause confusion.
