New Compaq: What files can I get rid of?
This is my first new computer.What advice can you all give as to what I can
clean off of the computer before I get started loading my junk on it? In the Add/Remove programs window,I have deleted AOL, Money 2002, Money 2002 System pack and Works 6.0(I will reinstall my old Office 2000--is there any reason I should keep Works?). The rest of the programs look like keepers except what is the 401MB Setup Compaq Software Programs? If I don't install it, do I keep it on the Harddrive? Those are all the programs shown in the add/delete window. In addition, looking at the programs, I see Windows Messenger, MSN Explorer and Encarta which I don't use and will probably delete That is about the limit of my knowledge. What other things that are hidden to me should I be looking to delete. Are there things that I need to be looking at or is the above about all? Thanks for your input, Jim. |
