    I just picked up my Chronos Series 7 14". Which of these items can you delete to still operate without any errors? Or do you recommend to keep for usefulness?

    Samsung Easy File Share
    Samsung Easy Migration
    Samsung Easy Settings (I kind of like this one)
    Samsung Easy Software Manager
    Samsung Easy Support Center 1.0

    Samsung Recovery Solution 5
    Samsung Software Launcher
    Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones
    Samsung Kies

    It depends if you have samsung phone, I dont have so I uninstalled KIES. Then Software Launcher if you dont use it you can uninstal it.
    In my opinion I recommend you to keep other programs especially easy settings, software manager (here you can download these programs again). Also I did Recovery after installing all my needed software with Recovery solution 5

    only easys setting is essential, without it the fn-keyboard shortcuts (brightness, backlight) dont work.

    Hi, first of all I'm a big fan of these forums, found many helpful answers here recently so thank you!

    I have a question regarding the Samsung bloatware, which you may think is a bit odd...

    I recently bought one of the new Series 3 notebooks, and actually found that I really, really liked the Samsung Software Launcher. Anyway, long story short the damned thing went faulty and I ended up exchanging it for something a bit more impressive - an end of line RF511. I love my new notebook, but was a bit disappointed to find that it didn't come with the Samsung Software Launcher!

    Basically, does anyone know how I can get hold of the Software Launcher again? I can't find anywhere online to download it (either from Samsung or elsewhere) and I'm missing it!

    Thanks :)
