    1. Pre-installed program- I tried going to Program&Features, but I couldn't find all the pre-installed programs in the list. Whereelse should I go?

    2. The System-Restore on your harddrive. How do you get rid of that?
    I am asking because I bought system restore disk and really don't feel the need of having that chunck in my HD.

    Sorry with so many questins. I am almost a computer illiterate.

    Assuming you have Vista

    Go to Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Advanced Options > Remove Recovery Partition

    If you have vista

    Startup Programs

    start(windows icon)>>search "defender">>>click windows defender>>>tools>>>software explorer

    (you may have to "show for all users" to disable)

    Programs and features for add/remove programs

    Try Disk CleanUp... btw, you can also disable your System Restore upon clicking on the next TAB of Disk CleanUp
