What can I uninstall

[Scudo]

I have just recently got myself a laptop (Dell)
It has winxp home and office.
I will use mainly abroad when on hols. (Turkey)
I use photoshop for pic editing which is now installed.
For internet I will need to rely on `hotspots` for wireless access.
I download a small amount of music over the internet.
Will also use it for watching DVDs


Question.

What on the list below can I uninstall so I wont compromise my use as above.


ArtEuro
Dell driver Reset tool
Dell media experience
dell support
dell system restore
My way search assistant
Sonic DLA
Sonic recordNow audio
Sonic record now copy
Sonic recordnow data
Sonic update manager
Viewpoint Media player
Wanadoo europe Installer

Thanks

It is your machine so you can uninstall whatever you want to.

However there may be implications.

It may be worth looking at how much space removing each item would give you
and consider whether removing that program is worthwhile for the space you'd
recover. And see what the program actually does- perhaps something like Dell
restore may be useful, or do you have an alternative backup/restore
strategy. Will removing Dell support compromise their ability to help you if
you get problems, and if so is the space (how much?) worth it?

De-Dell-ifying isn't for space recovery. The premise is that a new, fast
PC is bogged down by myriad Startups & Watchdogs, services and
Fluff (Like AOL & Multimedia Players, Editors). Besides the baggage
of these add-ons, it's a good idea to remove the "Trial" version security
software and install your own preferred products. As to getting help,
the more of this stuff you remove the better the machine will perform.
The less you need Dell's help, the better off you'll be.
