I'm looking at my Add or Remove Programs window and I'm just trying to figure out if I need all these programs. Some of these programs I don't know what there used for so therefore I don't know if its safe to uninstall it.

Service packs - yes

Adobe - yes



Net Framework - yes

Ethernet - yes

Drivers - yes

Realtek - yes

Plugins - probably

JAVA - yes

NVIDIA - yes

Quicktime - yes

Works - optional - but probably needed.

Office - ditto

Money - depends if you are doing finances.

Canon - depends what you're printer is.



Mostly - yes - S3 couldn't tell you - some depend on what devices are attached to your PC.



C++ is only needed if you do programming in that environment - otherwise it can be dispensed with.

Hi,With uninstall repair tool, you can uninstall any unwanted applications in your system easier and faster. The standard Add /Remove Program can not often completely uninstall all applications and broken registry keys.



It is very easy to remove unwanted programs that cannot be uninstalled completely from Windows Add or Remove Programs control panel applet.

If you will have Windows, the item dock is available in a a laugh kit in your PC which permits you to have a miles cleanser computing device and equipped software tabs at the display or hidden across the corners. I use it myself to make it appear like a Mac atmosphere :)

It depends on you. it depends on how you use the programs installed in your computer, if you think that a program is not that necessary, you better uninstall them to save disk space. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR NEEDS.
Meh, Internets

Most of them are needed, however eztracks and it's toolbar, Quicktime, and Rhapsody can be removed if you don't use them.
