The PC Decrapifier is program is meant to combat that.  It attempts to remove all of the crap on your PC that you never asked for or wanted. To manually remove all of this stuff by hand can take at least an hour (depending on the severity of the infestation.)

I just bought my son a new laptop yesterday, so let's see how well this works. I'll let you know.

npp.logo2.gifI've been using Notepad++ for years and have never looked back.  It gives me IDE type features without running a full blown IDE.  Now that I've been doing a lot more web development using PHP, javascript and HTML, Notepad++ has continued to work flawlessly for me and is my editor of choice.  For those running PortableApps, there is a portable version of it as well (Notepad++ Portable Page: http://www.mi3soft.info/Software/Portable/notepadpp-portable).

If you haven't tried out Notepad++ yet, I suggest you give it a look.  I'm sure you'll be quite happy with it.
