Bundled Software Removal Tips

Okay most us wanta be Geeks have those mass produced computers, that we buy from the BOX stores or through mail order, that come bundled with ALL that neat stuff that just allows us to turn the #@&*# thing on and play with REAL Geeks that have assembled their own rigs…………

Problem:- How to get rid of the bundled C**p, that comes with your shiny new toy, mine happens to be HP’s Compaq with little nasties like “BackWeb” “Compaq Connections” “AOL” and numerous others. So were is the problem you say, well you cannot delete everything you THINK is a nasty, or you will be left with just a shiny box and a running fan.

So ALL you Dell/Compaq/Acer/HP/what evers let us know what has worked for you, me I am still working on mine, but have a Compaq/Presario and have removed the Fat32 partition and the recovery files and gained another 10 gig Thanks to MG. use the original HD now for Music/Video files. Have found that the purchase of Power Quest’s True Image to be a “Life Saver” and a must for any of us wanta be’s that try tweaking cause any major disaster is just a Back-Up away (even an HD crash)

 

Heh, the best bet to get rid of all the crap is to format and re-install windows. If that fails/isn't viable, using CCleaner to remove programs in the Add/Remove list works for me and all the bloated Dell workstations we order at work.
