    The thinkvantage software left a bunch of junk files on my c root drive after insyallation. I can probably live with the swtools folder as I decided to keep those programs afte a clean install.

    Do I need the....

    drivers
    386
    icons
    intel
    support
    valueadd

    folders still, seems like a lot of leftovers from installation....

    Bump- also wondering what I can delete, particularly swtools, drivers, and swshare. Don't need backups of anything, just want to make sure anything that is not attached (installed on Vista) is not something I delete.
