I have recently brought a new acer laptop and it seems to have a lot of unnessercery things on it that. So does anyone know what I can get rid of so I can clean up my laptop so it's not using up memory that doesn't need to...

Some manufacturers provide [ think sell ] a setup disk without the additional programs.

control panel > classic view > programs & features > uninstall the unwanted programs.

Sorry I'm not to good with the computer thing.. I went into prog & features and tried to paste the page but it wouldn't let me. Also I've even made a short cut of it onto my desktop and when I open it it has no files inside so I can't even attach the file.. Am I doing this right or have I got it totally wrong

Sorry if i'm being a pain many thanxs whatthehell28

Hi,
I had an Acer from Tesco and to clear the unwanted progs I used the charmingly-named 'PC Decrapifier' (freeware). It does let you check what you're getting rid of before you go too far!!
Hope this is of help?
