    People, the 9300 is very nice. With it being my first notebook, I love all the features that come with it, but I do have a question. All of the Dell crap that is in the system tray; which ones can I not startup with?

    You can really get rid of all of them. Dell loads so much crap with their machines, it's really annoying.

    To truly get rid of all of it, I just did a fresh install of windows.

    Can I even not startup with the touchpad software? I know most of the stuff is crap, but I don't know about that.
