    I'm picking through my registry and such, was wondering if there's a comprehensive list of apps and whatnot that Dell puts on their systems of late that can easily be removed...

    Sounds like it varies almost day to day what Dell does (or doesn't) put on their machines, but there must be someone who's had to go through and remove the bloatware and compiled a reference list?

    Thanks - this will help cleaning my new M1710 and my girlfriend's new E1705 easier.

    Thanks! That took about as long as it did for me to go to the fridge to get a soda. ;)
