| Congratulations on being such a good boy that Santa brought you a very nice computer.  Wait, I meant to say young man.  I think you can make many of those decisions yourself, and ask about specific ones you aren't sure about. Almost everything listed there is "safe" to uninstall--unless of course you use it. Many people use PC Decrapifier for assistance on this task. I don't know anything about the fingerprint scanners.

| Thanks for your help TerryNet. Yes, a lot of the things I could probably decide for myself, it was mostly the fingerprint scanner I was wondering about. Maybe someone else will have an idea. As for tonight, I'm going to look over that list and uninstall whatever I'm fairly certain I don't need. Make the "final touches" to this thing that I've been working on all day. And as for being a "good young man for Santa", yes, I'm glad I got this as well.  I'm going to need it for college in the fall.

| I have attached the new log since I realized how ridiculously long they are. Wasn't able to remove as much as I had hoped I would be able to, but at least a lot of it is off. I kept the LightScribe System Software because I'm interested to know if that will actually enable me to light-scribe onto CD's I own. If there is anyone familiar with this software that can tell me, please let me know. Same goes for the fingerprint scanner software.

| I edited my last post in order to attach the Add or Remove Programs list. Apparently I forgot to attach it last time. The original list is the one I posted here, the attached is what I have left installed on the PC. Last edited by TheShooter93; 26-Dec-2010 at 01:33 PM.. |

| All of these are very good ideas. I'll definitely take them into consideration, and hope my better half (the half that isn't lazy) realizes I should take your advice. On another note though, unfortunately, this computer came with no System Recovery CD or OEM version of Windows 7. I assume I either have a Recovery Drive or can make a Recovery CD using an application on the computer.

But maybe that's just because I don't know how to "image the harddrive" other than by using System Restore. Also, that "Recovery Manager" was just the thing I was looking for. Thanks for the link.
