My initial setup of there computer goes something like this: I set up windows to have updates automatically downloaded and installed I use Avast Anti-virus that will automatically update if it finds a connection (once a year I have to get a new registration code) I use Open DNS, and set in on the router so that all PC's have protection Then I use something like PC Decrapifier to remove the junk that company's install on PC's Then I install the apps they need (aol, open office, paint.net, gimp, Picassa, ext) after that I warn them about not installing apps on there PC. (they do anyway) I know that everyone has there own way of organizing things (if they want everything on there desktop, whatever) so long as they keep all of there files in the normal folders (so when I have to do an update or a reinstall, or a backup of there data, everything is in a easy location) Its amazing the cultural differences between the "Tech Generation" and its parents. The parents want the ability to do everything the people who already learned the tech to do, but are not willing to invest the time or effort that the younger already put into it. You don't expect to walk into a car and just drive it, if you've never learned. The same holds true with the PC. It comes from experience.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
