I include M$S Office 'trial' in that category, too (I'm an Open Office fan). Yes, no OS instal disk, just make your own which, of course, means my instal disks (yes - THREE DVD's worth) will have the necessary OS and stuff, but from now and forever they will have all this craplets stuff, too. Working through all the things to delete, I, like others have pointed out, don't really know what is craplets, or what is vital for correct operation of my machine. I agree - what we really need is some smart person, or corporation (PC Tools? :-) to find a way to help get rid of this useless junk. The PC makers certainly aren't going to do it. Anyone?

Would someone please devise a step-by-step procedure I (a neophyte)could follow to remove this stuff? He/she could become a folk-hero. I understand and share the gripes.

Had the Windows XP reinstalled last Nov because I thought that I had messed something up. More junk on computer & I don't think the reinstall was needed.

Then we add on the driver, etc, we want manually. It is the only way we can get certain of our buiness programs to work. All the crap ware causes them to crash. We buy nice equipment, but can't use them out of the box. Dell is always calling us to sign their equipment acceptance form but I won't do that until all the computers have been cleaned up and working correctly. I always tell them, if we didn't have to spend so much time clean out the junk we didn't ask for we could get you paid sooner. They don't like it but until they change their policy if my users have to wait to get their PCs, they will have to wait to get paid.

Best of all it is free! I've used Ubuntu for three years now, it keeps getting better all the time and I still don't use the command line. Now if you'll excuse me I have a friends Acer Laptop, with Vista, that has a trojan in it he wants removed. I wonder if he will notice it's not Vista when he gets it back?
