Hi Everyone,

My daugther just got an Acer Aspire One D260A Netbook, and I am just looking for some tips on how to clean off all the crap, and help prepare it for optimum use.

I've started to uninstall some stuff via add/remove programs in control panel, but what else can be done?? This link shows what software comes by default.

Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

If you go into a run command and type msconfig, and hit enter, this should bring up a window. Click on the startup tab, in here you can pretty much remove anything, leave the one that says Windows Operating System. This will stop unnecessary apps from loading on startup.
