This is one feature where Mac has it all over PC's--all the crap that gets installed with each new PC is mostly just garbage.
Some people reformat and reinstall from the included recovery disks sans garbage-ware. I don't. I typically get rid of Norton or McAffee anti-virus, scanning, systemworks stuff. Just kill it all. Then I install the free version of AVG anti-virus which has always worked just great for me. I delete anything and everything which in not directly related to the control/performance/use of the PC. I download and install FireFox and set it as the default browser. I also add (free) NetMeter: http://readerror.gmxhome.de/ to help me monitor downloads. And I really like Download Express (free version) for accelerated downloads. HTH, Chipp On 9/13/06, Richard Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Question: how do you deal with all the various pieces of software that seem to be running on XP Home when one first gets it? Do you try to strip the system of extraneous components or just let it all be?
