    When I received my new 1737 studio I noticed it no longer has a default Google homepage/toolbar..it now comes with a MSN homepage/toolbar! Any Idea how to dump the MSN toolbar and get back the Google stuff! I'm sure i can just go to Google and download the toolbar but it used to come with alot of Dell associated links etc...anyway to get that back?

    just go into the browser options tab and switch to the toolbar you prefer.

    Yep, when Windows 7 was debuted, there was a big announcement that Dell has partnered with Microsoft to preload Windows Live software onto each machine. There's more than just the toolbar (a blogging app, Web Filtering, Messenger, Photo Gallery, etc.) so remove those apps from control panel if you don't want them.
