PC Decrapifier. Read about it and download it here: http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/ Run it. Tell it to decrapifiy everything you know you don't want. Post a list of anything left over and somebody here will tell you if it is crap or something useful. Please note that it will likely find some software that is *not* crap. This might include MS Works, Sonic, Roxio, Nero and other common useful software. If you are not sure, add it to the list to ask about.
