It all depends, on how they have the restore functions et.
Many of them have a drive image on the restore portion that simply
writes a new image of the already installed system.
Others like Dell give you a full fledged install disc. You then pick
and choose.

I'm in the process of cleaning up unused programs from my computer,
many of which have been preloaded by the manufacturer but have never

the Add/Remove Software window. For instance, I don't want to have
to install Norton Antivirus in order to delete it. FYI, Norton shows
up in the D drive which is the protected restore files are. I'd
rather not allow it to get it embedded inside the computer that it
already is. Is there a way to delete programs which haven't been installed?
Windows XP, SP2
