Mark, it's really not that difficult to get rid of pre-loaded stuff on computers as long as you know what you're doing i.e. downloading a good uninstall program like Revo uninstaller and then a good registry cleanup program like registrybooster 2. Another important thing to do is to check what programs automatically load when Windows starts which can dramatically slow down your computer, this can be accomplished with a program like winASO Registry Optimizer, which is another alternative to registrybooster 2.
Does that help you out?
