Ok, so I just got a new netbook running Windows 7. Of course the netbook came loaded with tons of bloatware, so I set about uninstalling it. I'm pretty much a windows virgin, and I can't seem to get rid of those HP games. I am unable to locate the uninstallers. Can someone please give me some instructions on how to delete these?

It won't be easy, they don't appear as separate line items in the control panel list of installed programs. On the other hand, they are usually very small, probably less than 50MB total. Unless you are really desperate to get all the HDD space you can I would not worry about them.

You can use Revo Uninstaller.

It has a Hunter Mode that lets you select shortcuts for programs on your desktop and it tries to uninstall it. It also removes all the registry entries that the program created.

Thanks guys. I just trashed them, and it seemed to solve the problem. Didn't save much HD space though :?
