    Is it possible to remove all the junk that dell bundles with XP?

    I am trying to decide if I should order XP Pro or go with Home and install a non oem version of Pro.

    Thanks

    Should be able to get rid of most of it in Control Panel. Then you can use something Registry First Aid to clean the reigstry. Unless you have a specific reason to go with Pro like you plan to use it at work or school where Pro is required or remote access, I wouldn't pay extra. Good Luck.
