Hello to all. I just got a Dell laptop with Win XP Pro and want to "clean
it up" (i.e. remove all the junk Dell installed, etc). I am wondering if
it's easier and better to do a fresh install or can I just go the
Add/Remove programs route and use a "safe" registry cleaner for the
remaining detritus. I really don't mind reinstalling all the drivers, etc,
and since I've had the PC less than a week, there's NOT a lot of programs
on it yet.
Also, if I do a reinstall, will I have to reactivate?
Thanks in advance to all, and best regards.
