    Can you tell me which bloatware for the HP's people actually like?

    I'm planning to use orev's instructions to reinstall clean, but was trying to see which apps are good to keep.

    For reference I have the HP DV5Z

    By following his directions and copying the SWsetup folder, you should be able to reinstall any you'd like.
