Start - Run - Type cleanmgr.exe - Enter. Check all boxes execpt "Compress
old files" - Ok.

For the software that you never use go to Start - Control Pane - Add or
Remove Programs.

Chuck;
Reboot.
Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Find what you want uninstalled.
Double click it, follow prompts.
Repeat for other undesired programs.

Chuck--

In addition to these suggestions, you can save considerable space by
addressing a couple space hogs. One is System Restore--go to System
Properties (Windows+Pause Break key) and reduce considerably the 12% Windows
defaults for this. No one needs that many restore points, and there are
several criteria that make new ones by default. Also check the Recycle Bin
which is another space hog, and clean temporary files.

You can also go to whatever drives you have and view them by size of files
and see if you need the largest programs or files.

DX Hog Hunt is also a free program that will give you a quick graphic
representation of space occupying entities that you might want to eliminate.
