    Hey Guys an Girls,

    I was trimming the fat off my envys bloat ware and I wanted to know if I can just get rid of these programs.

    windows live ID
    windows live sync
    windows live up load tool

    adobe photo shop elements
    adobe premier elements
    dvd menu pact for media smart video
    energy star digital logo
    hp documentaion
    hp envy document card
    hp power menu
    hp quick launch
    hp setup
    hp update
    intel digsatal logo
    logon studio

    these are some off the ones that I have know idea on what they do or if they are in any way important to the system. If you can please offer some advise as to which one I can knock off that would be great. I will never understand why they put all this useless crap on the computer, cause its really a pain to have to erase all of this stuff every time you get a new computer.....Thank You for you Help!!!!

    There are quite a few threads on this subject i suggest finding out exactly what each program is there for and does before deleting because of serious problems. Luckily there is lots of info here on the subjust. Besides searching the forum check out the first page of the owners thread for info on just about any question you could ask. After all thats what it's there for. Good luck.
